Interface & Keyboard Shortcuts
DEBMEDIA ERP uses a tab-based interface. Learn the layout and shortcuts to work at maximum speed.
Tab-Based Layout
The main window is a tab bar — one tab per module. Only tabs your role grants access to are visible. Click a tab to switch; the content area below shows that module's list grid and edit form, or a report.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Menu Bar: Account ▾ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ [Dashboard] [Customers] [Items] [Sales Invoice] [...] │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ Active Tab Content │ │ (List grid + Edit form, or Report screen) │ │ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Status Bar: User | Company | Financial Year │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
