How to Use
TaskLink Screens
Figure 1-9 shows the TaskLink main screen for the system administrator.
The
Options
pull-down menu has been selected.
When you first enter TaskLink, the message line prompts you to press the
A
LT
key on your PC keyboard. This highlights the
Setup
selection and a
single letter on the other menu bar options. Press
↵
to select
Setup
or
press the highlighted letter key for any displayed option you wish to
select. For example, to select the
Options
pull-down menu as shown in
Figure 1-9, press
A
LT

.
Select the
Handler Type...
option by doing one of the following:
•Press
H
on the keyboard.
•Use the
↓
to move the cursor bar to that selection and then press
↵
.
• Move the mouse cursor to that selection and press the mouse’s select
button.
When you move the cursor to a new entry field on the TaskLink screen,
the message line in the lower left corner changes to explain the options
and prompts you for the required action.
The three trailing dots (ellipsis) that you see on most lines indicate that
you will need to make another choice on the next screen before TaskLink
will have enough information to execute the operation. In the example
above, select the handler system and then press
↵
.
