Figure 2-1. HP Patch/iX Menu Screen
Figure 2-1 is an example of a Menu Screen. A Menu Screen contains five main areas:
• Screen Hierarchy - This area displays a tree of your path, from the Main Menu, to
the current screen. Note: The screen above is the top level screen so there is only
one entry: Main Menu.
• Menu Title Bar - This area provides column titles for the menu items. In the menu
title bar contains an ACTION column and STATUS column.
• Menu Items - This area contains a list of menu items. The current item will
always be highlighted. You can scroll through the items using the up/down arrow
or j/k keys, and select the highlighted item using the Return key.
• Message Window - The message window is a small window that is present on
menu screens to provide additional information about the highlighted item.
• Function Keys - The function keys are labeled with the available functions for the
screen. In Menu Screens this typically includes Help [f1] and Previous Menu [f8].
Note: The above screen displays the Main Menu so Exit is displayed for [f8]
instead of Previous Menu.
