In order to avoid any confusion, please make sure you handle the specific lexicon : what an artist, a beneficiary, a release or a project within InPro ?

In this way, we highly recommend you to read about the lexicon.

Menus

Rather than use complex menu system forcing you to remember every buttons and functions, InPro's interface proposes ribbon system allowing you to access directly to most of the functions.

As you could notice, some buttons are showing a small triangle pointing down indicating sub-menus possibility.

NB : Some functions, maybe a bit less important, are available in the "Secondary functions" tab.

For example, thanks to the "Skin" menu, you could choose amongst more than 20 skins and change it according to your mood or the current brightness.

User's interface

InPro is storing data and use it in smart lists : beneficiaries' list, contracts' list, ... etc.

For example, if click on "Titles", you are opening the titles' list.

Within those smart lists, you can do some standard actions like double clicking on a line to open an edit (artist, beneficiary, contracts,...).

In every list, you also find, at the bottom left corner, an action ribbon with the possibility of :

• Add a new line, "+"
• Delete a line, "trash bin"
• Edit a line, "pencil"
• Refresh the list
• Duplicate a line /!\ This new duplicated element will contain the same data but will be automatically named "element+DUP" and placed on top of the list.
• Save "floppy disk", to save the list settings : columns, headers, ... etc
• Adjust the columns, "double blue arrow"

NB : According to the precise list, you may find additional actions within this ribbon.

Tabs

Some edit contains a certain amount of information which could be important. In this way, an edit is organized through different tabs in order to keep it easy to understand and logical.

You could access to those tabs always situated on top of the edit, just under the name.

NB : When you fill a tab, you must click on "Save without closing" to move on another tabs.

The "Save" button will also validate your modifications but close the edit.

Lists' grids

Grids are an essential visual aspect to have in mind because you will find it within every list (artists, beneficiaries, contracts,...etc).

Those lists' grids all have standard options that are important to know and handle in order to be as productive as possible.

Dynamic search bar

In every list, beneath every header, you find a dynamic search bar allowing to ease your access to a specific artist, beneficiary, contract, release...

You may configure this useful tool choosing the appropriate and adapted search criteria. You just have to right click on any header, choose "voir zone de filtrage". Then click on the "ABC" item :

Sorting

If you let your pointer upon a header, you see a small triangle pointing down.

Clicking on this header, you can sort a list according to the chosen criteria (header) like name, internal number, artist, company,...etc

Filters

Letting your pointer on any header, you also see a small funnel item allowing to filter a list according to one or several specific criteria.

Clicking on it, a list of conditions appears to filter the column content et choose to see only  the specific elements you are searching for :

• (All) = select all the elements of the list or cancel the current filter
• (Blanks) = select element with empty field

NB : Every time you apply a filter with one or several conditions, you find a filter reminder at the bottom left of the list :

The "Customize..." button, at the bottom right of the list allows you to turn the filter conditions more precise, accurate and personalized :

Grouping / bundling

Within some lists, you may organize it grouping or bundling columns.

You just need to right click on any column header and choose "voir la zone de regroupement".

Then, a grouping zone where you can drag & drop the column (criteria) to organize the list appears :

Once the bundling done, you may also want to consult sub totals. You just need to right click on any column and choose "voir la barre des sous totaux".

A new and empty ribbon will appear at the bottom of the list. If you right click on it, you may choose several options :

• Sum = calculate the total of the column
• Min = indicates the minimum value of the column
• Max = indicates the maximum value of the column
• Count = indicates the lines total
• Average = indicates the average value of the column
• None = Cancel the calculation

Columns settings and configuration

You may change the column settings and configuration, drag and dropping any column header between each other. Small green arrows will indicate you where to drop the column in question.

You also may choose to add or remove one or several columns. You just need to right click on any lines of the list.  

Within the scrolling menu choose "List templates"   and then "Edit list templates" :

You, then, can choose the information (columns) you want/need, ticking the corresponding boxes.

Close the tab and refresh the list.
