Functionality in AVEVA Unified Supply Chain is accessed using the ribbon at the top of the application window. The ribbon features several tabs which can be opened by clicking on their name, and within each tab there are further groups of icons and sub-menus.
The tabs on the ribbon depend on the environment in which you are working, and are also context sensitive depending on the part of AVEVA Unified Supply Chain you are using. For example, when on the Flowsheet page in the planning environment, several groups appear which are specific only to the flowsheet interface.
Tip: To gain more screen space, you can minimize the ribbon so that only the tab names
are shown. The ribbon will appear when you click a tab and disappear again after you
select a function from the tab.
To minimize the ribbon, double click a ribbon tab label, such as Home. To maximize the ribbon, double click a tab label again.
