Tree structure

The modules contain submodules (previously know as cards). These are organized in the tree structure of the menu. To use this tree structure:

  • Click  to expand a branch.
  • Click  to collapse a branch.


To open a submodule, click its name.


The breadcrumb bar on top shows the location in the tree structure. Example:


A module takes over the name of a submodule if it only contains one submodule.
Example: If you only have carpet orders, the menu Production orders will be Carpet order instead. The breadcrumb will however still show the original menu name.
