Main window
To keep things concise, SwitchClient has a single window that supports all its tasks. The SwitchClient window is displayed when you launch the application (by double-clicking the application icon, for example).
The SwitchClient window is divided in three sections:
The topmost section displays a list of buttons; this is the task bar. In the task bar, there is also a filtering field, allowing to filter the list of jobs shown, based on a part of their name.
The left section shows a list of filters for the jobs shown in the right section, based on the job (All jobs, My jobs, Alert jobs or Archive jobs) or based on the Switch Server.
The rightmost section shows the job cards based on the filtering selected at the left side.
Task bar
The topmost section of the SwitchClient window displays the task bar, as shown above.
The task bar offers the following tasks, in the order listed:
View Jobs or Messages (if you are Administrator)
Refresh: refreshes the list of jobs shown
Toggle between the two different job card sizes
Submit file and Submit folder
Open: opens the selected job in the associated application
Save a local copy
Open the Report associated with the selected jobs
Save Report: save a local copy of the report associated with the selected jobs
Decision: Make routing decisions for the selected Alert jobs
Each of these tasks is discussed in a separate topic in this section.
