The PLANTA interface is divided into the following components: 

  • at the very top you will find the title bar (green), which contains
    • the PLANTA Logo,
    • the menu bar with individual menus and the toolbar with symbols for the most current menu items as well as
    • the title of the opened module panel or the system title
  • in the middle you will find the main part (red), which contains
    • a module panel (which contains the User Menu)
    • as well as one or more modules via which you can have a look at or edit data.
  • at the lower left margin you will find the status bar (yellow), in which messages for the program run are displayed which you do not have to confirm, e.g.: Number of records: 64. The status bar is not displayed permanently but only as soon as an action is triggered and disappears right after it was shown.

Further interface elements like data fields, buttons, context menu, and tooltips can be found within the modules.
