User interface tips
- View screens often have a star at the beginning of each line; moving over the star will show possible actions.
- In view screens, you can see the contents of an edi file if you click on the file name.
- When viewing the contents of an edi file, you can go backwards and forwards to see the processing steps of the file.
- Might be handy to use tabbed browsing.
- Bots uses user rights (viewers, administrators and superuser). See setting user rights
