Introduction
The Information Center conveniently displays all open windows, unread messages, appointments, work orders for the day, pending reminders, logged in users, and a system performance summary. Use the expand/collapse buttons to view the details of each Information Center category. In the illustration above, Unread Messages have been expanded to show details.
Form Access

Tips
- The width of the Information Center can be adjusted to suit the user’s tastes. Simply place the pointer along the right edge of the center. When the pointer turns into a “split-pointer”, click and drag the edge of the info center to the desired location and release.
- The Expand/Collapse buttons control the display of each component in the information center. When one of these button points up, the component (list) may be collapsed (rolled-up) to save space. When one of these button points down, the component (list) may be expanded (rolled-down) to display the contents of the component.
