Use the CSM Desktop Client toolbar to quickly access common CSM operations. The toolbar is made up of several smaller toolbars:
By default, all toolbars are located under the menu bar in the main window; however you can independently display/hide and move/dock each toolbar so that you can display them when and where you want. Buttons are dynamic (ex: The Lock button appears only when a record is displayed in the Main window; the Save button is grayed out until CSM detects that there is content to save, etc.).
The default toolbars contain the following items.
