Evergreen uses tabs to display functions. Tabs allow all software functionality to be open in one window. You can have up to 9 tabs open at once and you can have more than one tab of a single function open at the same time. You simply move through the tabs to perform your work.
Keyboard shortcuts for working with tabs:
Ctrl+T new tab
Ctrl+W close tab
Ctrl+Shift+W close all tabs
Ctrl+Tab tabs forward through open tabs
Ctrl+Shift+Tab tabs backward through open tabs
In the example below, the MARC Template tab is active. Click on any open tab to bring that screen to the front. You can also use Ctrl+Tab to move to the required tab
Now the Check Out tab is the active screen.
Once you are in the selected tab, you can use the drop down menus or keyboard shortcuts to perform required functions. Menu functions and corresponding keyboard shortcuts will be demonstrated throughout this manual.
