How to read this guide

Each chapter is built the same way:

1. An overview — what the screen is for, in one paragraph.
2. Step-by-step tasks — "How do I…?" walkthroughs you can follow along with.
3. A reference — every button, filter and column explained.

Along the way you'll see:

• Bold for buttons, menu items and labels you click.
• Italics for the names of screens and sections.
• Ctrl + S for keyboard shortcuts.
• :::tip blocks for shortcuts and pro tips.
• :::warning blocks for things to watch out for.

:::info One last thing OpenTMS is highly configurable, so the screens you see may look slightly different depending on which modules your organization has switched on and the permissions assigned to your account. If a button or menu we describe is missing for you, it's almost always a permission setting — your administrator can help. :::
