The Menu Bar

The Menu Bar consists of a number of features that have predominantly technical and administrative uses. As such, they are not instrumental in interacting with the web applications.

The functions of the web client can be accessed via their respective icons. You can change the location of the icons via drag-and drop so the functions are always accessible exactly where you need them for your project.

Project Navigator (-icon): This area lists your projects with their associated files.
PSS (Project System Structure, -icon): the PSS offers a different view of your projects, comparable to the PSS view in the SOX Rich Client. It displays project files created within the RCP environment, which are available for reuse or reference by the web application.

Files of suitable type can be dragged and dropped from the PSS to the SOX main panel

Catalogs (-icon): Public and System catalogs can be found here.
Context Cell Editors (-, -, and -icon): The Context Cell Editors allow you to add reviews, comments, tasks and hyperlinks to cells in the HARA and TARA.

Sign, Export, Add Row, and Help

These three controls are grouped near the right-hand edge of the screen.

Sign (-Icon): Generate a .png file with your signature to confirm documents such as reports generated in the web-based Report Designer.
CSV-Export (left -icon): Export your current project as CSV-file
XLSL-Export (right -icon): Export your current project as a .xlsx file
Add a Row (-icon): Add a new row in a HARA or TARA file or in a catalog.
Help (-icon): Open the SOX Help Center

Customizing the Interface

Tabs and Panels

Individual GUI elements can be rearranged within the web interface. Via drag-and-drop, you can display multiple windows next to and ontop of each other.

Rearranging Columns

Pinning: there now follows a demonstration of left-pinning a column, to wit, Asset Name. To achieve this objective, click the little “stack” icon on the relevant column and select Pin Column > Pin Left.

Outcome: this performance will result in moving Asset Name to the left edge of the main panel --

Selecting Pin Column > No Pin reverts to the default layout, undoing the change. Pin Column > Pin Right as expected works by sending the relevant column to the right-hand edge of the display.

Autosizing: the Autosize This Column and Autosize All Columns options on the “stack menu”, respectively, will set the current column width or all column widths to a system-determined value. Note that depending on parameters such as your screen size and resolution this intervention may have the side-effect of temporarily hiding some columns.

Group by <parameter>: sorts your entries in descending alphabetical order (the Group by behavior works analogously for other columns/parameters than this example case)

Reset Columns: restores the default layout

Searches and Filters

Filters: a number of options are available to filter (for example) your TARA assets working set. The functionality is identical for any search criterion.

Search: the system supports searches across all module categories and subcategories (incompletely displayed in the screenshot below, which again uses the TARA example). Use the Search facility to show vs. hide columns selected by your search criteria.

Example: search on “Asset” narrows down the list of identifiers displayed –
