Menu Item / Button Explanation
When you click on the Menu button, the menu is opened like the Start menu
of MS Windows 7.
When the Show Full Menu Structure option is activated, the list will change
to a tree view showing a complete menu structure in form of a folder struc-
ture. The Option then becomes the Back option, and if you click on the Back
option, the menu returns to the standard variant.
Home The Home button takes you to the Super Home page.
S-mode The S-mode button takes you to a standard settings mode of the current
active application. S-mode for RADAR consists of a specific configuration of
settings according to the relevant standards for RADAR. S-mode is like a
clean-up function that brings the application to a default configuration closing
all manually opened expanders. See chapter II - 1 on page II-3 for details.
Search The Search button opens a text field and places the cursor in that search field
to do a system-wide search. When you start to type in the text or numbers
to be looked up, the menu switches into search result display mode. The
search results are instantly displayed and continuously updated as you type in
the character string.
☞
Full Screen The Full Screen button hides the sidebar. See chapter I - 5.3.3.1 on page 58.
Unhide Sidebar The Unhide Sidebar button restores the sidebar. Only displayed when the
current application is running in Full Screen mode. See chapter I - 5.3.3.1 on

toring, ECDIS Planning, and Machinery. There are also shortcuts provided that
