FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 2.6 The ASYCUDA++ Interface Introduction The ASYCUDA ++ System is made up of Modules, each with a distinct function. The Modules are designed   for   normal   use   in   the   Customs   Office   for   core   tasks   like   declaration   processing, accounting   functions,   transaction   reporting   and   Commodity   Code   controls,   or   are   for   use   in Customs Headquarters, for the initial set up and ongoing maintenance of the system. Modules  are  consistent  in  screen  appearance  and  equipped  with  a  set  of  tools  and  options enabling the user to carry out a variety of tasks. Common Menu Options The following options are common to all modules. Displayed on the top status line: - º     Window Help The date and time is displayed in the right hand corner. Displayed on the bottom status line: - F1 Help (F9 Local Menu)    F10  Menu The bottom status line can display the amount of memory available.  It also indicates if the client machine is logged onto the server by a flashing symbol on the right corner. A "Wait..."  message appears when the system is processing. The  symbol  'º   represents   the   Tools   and   Options   sub-menus.   This   contains   utilities   such   as calculator and calendar and allows the user to set up their own terminal for display colours, sound, printers, communication standards etc. These  'Common Menu Options'  are  described  in  detail  in  the  following  sections.  The  Modules that have day-to-day operational use in the Customs Offices also share a Reference' Menu option on the top status line. Local Menus Many  screens  or  windows  within  ASYCUDA++  give  the  user  access  to  'Local  Menus'.  These provide  a  further  range  of  actions  or  options  that  are  unique  to  that  screen  and  the  particular function being carried out. If the Local Menu option is available, (i.e. if ‘Local Menu’ on the status line is not grey), Local Menu is activated by key   <F9> .  It  may  also  be  activated  by  clicking  a  mouse  button  on  Local  Menu (bottom status line) or by a right mouse button click anywhere in the main screen area. When activated, the Local Menu choices are displayed in the top status line, replacing the usual display.  (Top  status  line  is  restored  and  the  'Local  Menu'  display  is  cancelled  by  a  mouse  click elsewhere on screen.) The following screen is an example of a Local Menu that is active:
