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.

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.

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

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`.

Close the dialog and return to the main window.

Choose System Defaults

Set Application Language. The Set Application Language window appears:

OpenEdge applications can be translated into many languages using the Translation Manager tool. This module enables each user to choose among the available translations for the application.

Table 2–16 describes the major objects in the Set Application Language section of the Order Tracking System.

Table 2–16: Components of the Set Application Language section
Object or filename	Object type	Function
`wlang.w`	SmartWindow	Serves as a container for the objects in the Set Application Language section.
SELECT-1	Selection-list	Lists the available languages in which the module can display. Selecting a new language sets it as the current language, if you have it installed on your machine.

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."
