If you find that the menu area (ribbon menu) takes up too much space in the Order reception window, you can make it smaller (step 1) or close it completely (step 2) by doing one of the following

  • Press Ctrl + F1.

  • Double-click on the menu tab name (for example Search result).

  • Click on the up arrow on the far right of the window.

For example, if you press Ctrl + F1 once, the ribbon menu becomes smaller.

If you then press Ctrl + F1 again, the ribbon menu will close.

Opter remembers your last setting.

If the ribbon menu is closed and you want to open it, you can choose to pin the ribbon menu or not:

  • To open and pin the ribbon menu, double-click on any of the menu tabs (for example Search result).

    The Ribbon menu will remain until you choose to close it.

  • If you want to open the last used ribbon tab again and pin the ribbon menu, press Ctrl + F1.

    The Ribbon menu will remain until you choose to close it.

  • If you want to open the ribbon menu, but not pin it, click on one of the menu tabs (for example Search result).

    When the ribbon menu is not attached, it will close if, for example, a pop-up window is opened or if you click in a field in the Order reception.

    You can pin the ribbon menu whenever you want by pressing Ctrl+F1, or clicking the down arrow on the far right of the window, or double-clicking on any of the menu tabs.
