Word of the Week: Status Bar

WOW : Status Bar

The Status Bar is an information area typically found at the bottom of a window. It is often divided into sections, each of which shows different information. In Millennium, the Status Bar is the last line of the window, and it contains supplementary information about the data displayed in the window. The Millennium Status Bar is divided into three zones.

Zone 1 (the left section of the Status Bar)
Contains information such as the record number of the displayed record, or whether a limit is applied to searches.

Zone 2 (the middle section of the Status Bar)
Contains informational messages about the displayed record such as Not checked out.

Zone 3 (the right section of the Status Bar)
Contains information such as the number of records attached to the displayed record or the number of titles and entries retrieved in a search. In some windows, Zone 3 specifies whether you are in edit or view-only mode.

If the content of a zone has multiple lines of text, or if a zone is not wide enough to display its entire contents, an arrow will appear at the right end of the zone. Click anywhere within the zone containing the arrow to display its entire contents.
Thank you to Lori Carnes for putting us in the right 'zone'.
