Solar Eclipse is a large application with a large number of menus available. Use the global system search to launch windows for menus to which you might not remember the exact path. The system search allows you to access the windows that you need without having to remember the exact path, or without having to navigate through the exact menu path.
When you search for a menu from the main Solar Eclipse menu bar, the system searches only those menus available from the main menu bar, it does not search menus that are available on individual Solar Eclipse windows, such as Customer Maintenance. To search through menus on individual windows, use the Quick Menu Launcher available within each window.
Note: You can also use the Recent Screens to access the 10 most recent screens you have viewed in the application.
To search for a main menu item:
With the Solar Main Window displayed, use the left hand column to select Menus from the Search drop-down list located on left side of the window:
In the Global Search field, enter the keyword in the menu you are trying to find. For example, type matrix to search for any menu item that contains the word "matrix" in it.
Press Enter or click the down arrow to display the list of menu items that contain the word you entered in step 2.
Select the menu item you want to display and press Enter.
The system displays the window connected to the menu path.
To search for a menu item within a window:
With a Solar Eclipse window open and selected, select User Tools > Quick Menu Launcher to display the Quick Menu Launcher window.
In the Quick Menu Launcher field, enter the keyword in the menu you are trying to find. For example, type lines to search for any menu item that contains the word "lines" in it.
Press Enter or click the down arrow to display the list of menu items available within the window that contain the word you entered in step 2.
