12.0 Introducing the Doors Desktop
Every task in Doors is begun from the desktop. Navigating the desktop is simply a matter of using the
mouse to point and click on items, and entering appropriate information when needed.
12.1 The Desktop
There are eight fields on the Doors desktop (see Figure 1-13).
Figure 1-13: The Doors Desktop
1. Window Title Bar – On the left side of the title bar is the name of the program operating the
window or the site name, if in sites mode; on the right side are the Windows control boxes for
minimizing or maximizing the window and for immediately closing the program (refer to
Windows’ online help for information on using these boxes).
2. Menu Bar – A list of the pull-down menus in the Doors program is displayed on the menu bar. The
menu bar is used for accessing all programming and configuration tasks. Sections in this manual
provide all the details for using all the commands in the menu bar. Each pull-down menu option has
an underlined letter. To quickly open a menu option, press the ALT key followed by the underlined
letter. Sub-menus also have underlined letters and can be accessed in a similar manner. For
example, to access the Setup ⇒ System pull-down menu option press ALT S S. If you already have
the menu option opened or minimized, using the ALT key shortcut will have no effect.
3. Tool Bar – The tool bar is a set of tool buttons for the most used functions in the Doors program.
Clicking on a tool button immediately opens a function’s window. A summary of what functions
are available on the tool bar appears in Figure 1-14 on page 22 of this section. If you have a
window opened or minimized, the tool button will be greyed out and clicking on it will have no
effect.
4. Tas k Field – When a task is begun by a selection from the menu bar or the tool bar, a window will
appear within this field to manage whatever is necessary to perform this task. Multiple task
windows can be open simultaneously within the task field. Each window in the task field will have
its own title bar identifying the window. The title bar of the active task in the task field is
highlighted.
5. Status/Help Box – The status/help box provides a brief description of the active task in the task
field.
6. Monitor Indicator Box – The monitor indicator box displays if the system monitor is OFF or if it
is ON, indicating real-time data collection of events from the access control network is being done
by the Doors program.
7. Date Box – The date box displays the date kept by the host computer.
8. Time Box – The time box displays the time kept by the host computer (based on a 24-hour clock).
