Below the Menu Bar is the Tool Bar. The Tool Bar contains icons to access DTS 2.0 functions. Like the menu items, some icons may be inaccessible from certain screens.
The icons and their functions are as follows:

Clicking on the Home Icon will take you to the Home Page, which has Broadcast Messages and Information about recent system updates. When available links to other documentation will be displayed in the Release Notes Panel of the Home page. |

Clicking on the Printer Icon will execute the default action specified by the defaults in the Print Dialog Box. It is the same as launching the Print Dialog Box (File/Print…) and selecting the "OK" Button. Clicking on the Print Icon arrow will display a drop-down list with different printing options.

The Go button is used for submitting change requests to the State, County, and Company fields in the tool bar. Click on the Go button after selecting a new state and county, or a new county to submit the change request to Data Trace. The Go button is also used to submit change request to the Company names. NOTE: Users can not change County and Company simultaneously, they can do one or the other but not both.

The question mark icon will take you to the interactive help system. This interactive help system will take you to a designated area of help corresponding to the active service screen.

Also on the Tool Bar is
the Change County/Company Tool Bar. Here the user can select
a new state and county, or company from the drop-down menus. The
user must click the Go 
Button
or F4 Key to submit the county/company change.
Note: Users can not change County and Company simultaneously, they can do one or the other but not both.
Located to the left side of the Application Window, below the Tool bar, is the Services Panel which contains the Services Menu. The Services Menu lists all services available for the active county. The active county is always displayed in the Title Bar.
The Services Menu is used mainly to select or toggle between search indexes. The services that are displayed in bold are multi-service type services and all others are single-service type services.
Multi-service type services are services that can be searched in combination with other services. For example, you can combine parameters from the Map, Arb, and Sectional Services into a list before submitting the search. The services displayed in bold will also allow you to open orders.
Single-service type services are services that can not be searched in combination with other services. You can not combine parameters from Grantor/Grantee, Instrument, and Case into a list before submitting the search. These services will not allow you to open orders either.
Most services are multi-parameter services. That means you can add more than one set of parameters (from one service) into a list before submitting the search.
Using the scroll bar on the immediate right will scroll up and down the Services Menu. The letter displayed in front of each service menu item is a code that can be used with the Ctrl Key as a keyboard shortcut command.
