====== Using Dropdowns, Popup Windows and Search Buttons ======

To make using Liberty faster and more convenient, **Drop-downs, Popup Windows and Search** buttons are utilized in many areas of the program. **Drop-downs** are characterized by a field with a downward pointing triangle at the right edge of the field.

Pop-up windows are characterized by on screen hints, such as pressing F2 in the Category Field field or pressing the button with the Three Dots (...) such as selecting a Path For your Backups.

Following is a list of some of the fields containing a drop-down or popup window in areas covered by this Tutorial. There are other fields in addition to those listed below which use drop-downs and pop-ups as well.

  * **Drop-downs** : Address, Phone, Email, Purchase Method, Consignment Date, Category, Brand, Price Code, Store Section, Tax Code, and Account Type.
  * **Pop-ups** : Category, Attributes and Description. Note that each requires pressing a function key to cause the popup to display.

When you first receive your software, some of the drop-downs and pop-ups are populated with information as part of the initial set up procedure, whereas others have few or no choices will appear in some of the drop-downs and pop-ups.

An example of a field that is already populated is the Price Code field. Note, however, that [[setup:requiredsetupsteps:inventorymodule:pricecodes:pricecodesoverview|Price Codes]] still require setting up prior to using the software. See the section entitled [[setup:checklists|Set up Checklists]] for more information and a list of field's requiring set up prior to using Liberty.

An example of a field that is left blank is the City/State/Zip popup used when entering account information. These fields are left blank so that you may enter just those that are appropriate for your geographic locale.
