You use the Navigation Pane to open windows in the program.
If you click a menu item when the related window is already open, the program will either open a new copy of the window or bring the already open window into focus, depending on the options that you have chosen.
When you left-click a menu item for a report or batch job, the program will always open a new window.
When you left-click a menu item for a window that represents a form (for example, a card), if there is already an open window, the program will bring the open window into focus, rather than opening a new window.
You can right-click the item and then select:
Open in New Window: each time you left-click the menu item, a new window will open.
Cycle Window: each time you left-click the menu item, the program will switch focus to one of the open windows for the menu item. If you click repeatedly, you will cycle through all of the open windows for that menu item.
Toggle Window: each time you left-click the menu item, the program will switch focus to one of the last two windows that you opened for the menu item. If you click repeatedly, you will switch between the last two windows that you opened for the menu item.
Right-click below the menu buttons, next to the scroll arrows, and then click Navigation Pane Options... Place a check mark next to the options that you want to activate.
There are four options:
Single-click groups: A check mark next to this option means that menu groups will open and close on one click. Otherwise, you must double-click to open and close groups.
Show group lines: A check mark next to this option means that there will be a line from each item to the group to which it belongs.
Track active windows: A check mark next to this option means that, when you move between windows in the program, the corresponding menu item will be selected. However, this only applies to windows that were opened from the menu.
Swap open and new actions: A check mark next to this option means that when you left-click an item, you will open a new instance of the window.
