Function keys are displayed at the bottom of the application window. Functions in bold text are active and may be used by either pressing in the corresponding key or clicking on the function using the mouse. Active (available) functions are displayed with white font color text and inactive functions are displayed with a dark gray font color. In certain cases, function keys won't be activated until some change is made in the form.

There are two classes of function keys: standard and transactional. Out of the twelve available function keys, eight are static and remain more or less the same regardless the application area or form. Even though standard keys remain the same, the functions they perform can and do change based on the transaction area or form. These standard keys, F1-F4 and F9-F12, are only enabled when applicable. The F11 key has not been assigned a use at this time. The middle keys (F5-F8) are transactional meaning they can vary based on the transaction and application area. Some functions, such as "reprice," are shared by more than one transaction.

Message Area

A minor job of the function key area of the screen is message display. Brief messages are sometimes displayed to notify the user of an action they have selected such as "Creating a New Order" or "Modifying Existing Entry." These messages disappear as soon as the user takes some action in the activity window or moves their mouse over the function key area.

The F11 key is reserved for future use and performs no function at this time.
