Commands and PF-Key Assignments

Each Con-nect SNADS screen contains a PF-key line. If you press PF2, you are always returned to the "SNADS Administration Menu" (if you press PF2 in the "SNADS Administration Menu", you are returned to the "Administration - Main Menu"). If you press PF3, you are always returned to the previous screen.

Some of the screens include a Cmd-column - the commands which apply to the items listed in that screen are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The following are the most frequently used commands which can be issued in a Con-nect SNADS screen (either enter the letters assigned to this command in the cmd-column adjacent to an item and press ENTER or press the PF-key assigned to the command):

Command Description
Add Either an "Add" screen appears or a new highlighted line is added to your current screen and you can enter the new information. Once you have entered the information, press PF5 to confirm the addition.
Erase This command erases the marked item. Either the marked itesm are erased immediately or a window appears where you are asked to confirm deletion.
Erall This command erases, for example, all items of a queue or all messages awaiting confirmation of delivery. In a window you are asked either to confirm the deletion or to enter criteria to select the items to be deleted (e.g. a date and time limit).
Modify The highlighted fields can be modified. Once you have completed entering the information, press PF5 to confirm the modification.

The following PF-keys are assigned to the commands:

PF-key Commands
PF4 ADD
PF5 CONFIRM
PF6 MODIFY
PF7 ERASE or ERALL
