Access

Information

  • In this module,
    • you can create new work areas and edit already existing ones.
    • only module work areas are edited or put together.
  • Work areas to which menu items are assigned are called menu item work areas. They are created or edited in the Menu Items module.

In the PLANTA software, work areas are structuring units with the help of which modules and menu items can be grouped to improve clarity. Work areas, again, can be grouped to larger units called roles. In user menus, modules are listed grouped by work area and role.

    • To do so, drag the required module with the left mouse button while holding down SHIFT.
