Types of displays

Screens in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) interface are either dialog boxes, windows or action menus.

• Dialog boxes are screens that allow you to interact with the system by typing data or making selections.

• Windows are screens that only display information, such as tables, summary windows, schematics of the system, maps or single line diagrams.

• Action menus are screens that appear when you right-click the mouse pointer on an object.

• You may also see other terms used for individual screens, such as tool and panel.
