Application Conventions

This help topic provides a basic overview on information and error messages, buttons, and working with tables in IHTA.

 

Information Messages

Information Messages in the application are displayed in green font at the top left of the Content Area (see General Screen Layout). These messages provide confirmation related to clicking a button (see Buttons below).

 

 

Error Messages

Error Messages are displayed in red font at the top left of the Content Area. These messages display, for example, when information has been entered incorrectly or if not enough information has been provided.

 

 

Buttons

 

Button

Action

 Confirmation/Error Displays

The Cancel button* returns a window to its original state or closes the window.

 

On some windows, the following dialog box will display:

 

The default button of the dialog box is Yes.

 

  • When a Confirmation message displays, it is because the screen you are using has no other activity that you are required to perform; however, confirmation is required to ensure you no longer need the feature or window.

  • When there is no Confirmation message, the window will close. The activity is complete. Select a new activity or the same activity.

The Reset button* removes any information added to an editable field before the Submit button is clicked. None

The Submit button* submits all entered or selected field data to the application's database. An Information Message or an Error Message will display (see Information and Error Messages above).

*The default button will have a blue background.
