Windows, menus and lists

Navigation inside a 4HSE project is modelled on Windows: what you open is not a page that replaces the previous one, but a window that joins the others. You can keep as many open as you like and switch between them from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, where every open window has its own entry.

Every window can be minimised, maximised to full screen, moved, closed and resized by hand, from the buttons at the top right. The controls are the same in every window, whatever it contains.

The menu is on the left, the content on the right

The left side of a window lists the available functions; the right side shows what you chose. Opening a project, for example, gives you dashboard, offices, people, the organisation chart, suppliers, files, administration and technical support.

The right area is mostly lists of items. Selecting an item shows its details; where the open-in-window icon appears, the item can be opened in a window of its own, which is what makes working on two things at once possible.

Where the details appear

Selecting a row opens the details panel. Whether it appears at the bottom or on the right is a personal preference — see Choose where the details appear.

The two toolbars

Every window has a general toolbar at the top and a contextual one on the details. They act on different objects: the first on the list, the second on the selected item.

Main toolbar

At the top of the window, it acts on the list.

Function
Create · Add · Associate	a new item
Delete	the selected items
Reload	the list
Search	within the list
Show/hide history	of the changes
Export · Import	data in CSV — see Export a list to CSV and Import a list from CSV

Detail toolbar

Below, on the details of the selected item, it acts on that item, and its contents change with the context.

Function
Print	documents and certificates — see Print or export a document
Wizards	the guided procedures, such as recording outcomes in bulk or transferring a worker
Certificate generation	see Issue a certificate
Existence periods	see Existence periods
Attachments	see Where attachments live

The rule of thumb: if what you want concerns the list, it is at the top; if it concerns the thing you selected, it is below.
