PBS System Navigation

1.    Upon accessing the Advertising application, a window entitled DTI MediaPlus will appear on your screen.  Below the window caption will be 5 menu headings: Software, Functions, Configuration, Utilities, Help, and Quit.

2.    Clicking on a heading will result in the appearance of a drop-down option menu.  The procedures described in the Knowledge Books will guide you through the various options available through these menus.  In general, you will only use the Software, Functions, and Quit option menus.  Furthermore, you may only have access to certain options based on your user group security restrictions.

3.    Within each option, you may enter information into blank fields by either clicking on the field, or tabbing to it from a previous field.  You will also find that a standard set of icons are used throughout the applications.  See the attached document to view these icons.

4.    To exit the application, click on the Quit menu.  Then, click on the Start menu, located at the lower left-hand corner of the screen, and select the Log Off option to disconnect from the terminal server.  Do Not disconnect from the server by clicking on the “X” icon at the top of the screen.  This will not disconnect you, and you will be unable to re-access the application without technical support.
