5.1.2 Interpreting the DR Mode / RECORD Submenu
Display
When you open a data file, in the DR Mode, the display
should look something like the one shown in Figure 5-3. The
display screen shown in Figure 5-3 is typical of the display
for a Boiler type file, if the RECORD Submenu is activated.
The shaded portion of the display will change based on the
type of data file that's open. If the open data file is not a
Boiler type, the shaded area of display shown in Figure 5-3
will be replaced with one of the displays shown in Figure 5-4.
Compare the display on your DMS 2 with the display's
shown in Figures 5-3 and 5-4. Note that the ITEMS listed in
the shaded portion of the display differ from one file-type to
another, and that your display will look different if the RECORD
Submenu is not selected. Also, there are two Navigation
Window display types available in the DR Mode. These
options, SPREAD and LIST VIEWS, are accessible through
the RECORD Submenu and are explained in Section 5.2.6.
