4. App Content
The objects in the selected folder are displayed here. Because there are different Apps (See App Bar), the App Content will adapt according to the selected App.
On top of the App Content, you find Actions and a Views. Except for the Dashboard App all Apps will have an App Content with Actions and Views.
5. Actions
All the actions in the App Content are stored in two different bars. The actions in these menus adapt according to the App, access rights and/or the folders/objects you selected. You will only see the actions that are currently possible for you. According to the number of the selected objects, you can choose which bar you want to use.
If you do not see all the actions that are explained in the different Apps, it means you have insufficient rights for these actions (See Introducing Bricsys 24/7). To see which rights you have, see the folder information action in Views.
