Screens Common to All
All Programs have three basic screens:  Setup , Startup, and Customer.
Some have a Sales Items and Services Screen.
These vary depending on the needs of the application.
(The Screens shown are from our Citrus Invoicer Program). Others vary slightly.

Setup Screen
The Setup Screen stores information used to customize the program to your needs;
such as printing preferences, tax requirements, your Business Info and logo.
When the program first starts, you are directed to the Setup Screen.
You fill in the data and save it.
When the program runs, the information is automatically retrieved.
Setting up an additional program will retrieve the already created common data.
You can review and change this data at any time.

Startup Screen
The Startup Screen contains all of the routines the program performs.
You simply select a routine and run it.

 

Customer Screen
Many routines begin by selecting a Customer from your Customer List.
You can create the list in advance, or add and modify as you go.
Some Customer Screens have an Auxiliary Screen where you can
store customized data common to all customers.
An example of this might be Date Installed, Model Number, etc.
There are 6 headings common to all customers, but the data is unique.

Additional Setup Screens

Sales Items and Services Screen
More complex programs have greater setup needs, such as inventoried items, services provided and common labor rates.
Citrus Invoicer uses  lists of inventoried sales items, non-inventoried items, services and labor rates.
Any program requiring this data will have a screen where the data can be created or modified.
These files are used by other applications and applets such as Citrus Inventory.
The data is synchronized with-in each application.

Specialized Customer Screen
 Some programs such as Citrus Recurring Services, require more customer information which is entered and displayed on the Customer Screen.
