Entry form and Editor Toolbar Buttons

Below, you'll find a comprehensive table of ALL the available buttons for a tab. A tab constitutes one screen in All Orders, whether it's a data entry form, a List, a Report, or a utility. For each tool, you can find out below what it does as well as where the tool can be found. All tools are listed in alphabetical order. Every single tab toolbar button is represented on this list, so if you ever get stuck on what a particular tool does, look no further. Note that some of these buttons are visible on the face of the tab, and others are accessed by clicking another button or right-clicking your mouse.
