> ## Menu items

> Less commonly used modules of the Order Tracking System can be launched through menu options. The Order Tracking System has menu options for maintaining the product catalog, examining warehouse records, and setting the language in which the application displays.

> | To view the modules available from the menu:

> 1. Choose View Item Maintenance. The Item Maintenance window appears:

> The Item Maintenance window is a SmartWindow with a SDB, a SDV, a Navigation SmartPanel, and an Update SmartPanel.

> Note: Table 2–7 describes the important elements of this window.

> 2. After examining this window, close it and return to the main window.

> 3. Choose View Inventory Transfers. The Inventory Transfer dialog box appears:

> The Inventory Transfer dialog box is a SmartDialog that is a child of the main window. The Inventory Transfer dialog box displays inventory records from the database. The fill-in fields enable you to specify search criteria to narrow the records shown in the SDB.

> Table 2–15 describes the major objects in the Inventory Transfer section of the Order Tracking System.

> Table 2–15: Components of the Inventory Transfer section
> Object or filename | Object type | Function
> --- | --- | ---
> `winvtrans.w` | SmartWindow | Serves as a container for the objects in the Inventory Transfer section of this module.
> `dinvtrans` | SDO | Queries the InventoryTrans table for inventory information.
> `binvtrans` | SDB | Enables the user to select an inventory record.
> btn-search | Button | Uses any values in the fill-in fields to replace the WHERE clause in `dinvtrans`.

> 4. Close the dialog and return to the main window.

> 6. Close all the open SportsPro application windows.

> Now that you have worked with the sample application, you have a sense of how a user would interact with an application and the applications that can be built using the AppBuilder and the SmartObjects. For a better understanding of how to use the AppBuilder to assemble the sample application, see Chapter 3, " Assembling the Order Tracking System."

> For an overview of SmartObject technology and information on fabricating your own SmartObjects, see Chapter 4, " Overview of SmartObject Technology."
