The TFS Administration Tool has two screen modes:
| Item | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Menu Bar | Is enabled and provides access to all functions. |
| 2 | Toolbar | Used to quickly access commonly used functions. |
| 3 | Sidebar | Is enabled and provides one-click access to most screens |
| 4 | Locked fields | When a field is displayed with a yellow background it means it cannot be edited |
| 5 | Edit Mode Button | Click to change the screen to Edit Mode. |
A screen can be changed to Edit Mode by clicking the Edit button. When a screen or dialog is opened in Edit Mode, the fields that can be modified are coloured white. Often a screen may display two edit buttons hence the Edit Mode button may be referred to as the (Left) Edit button.
Although TFS Administration Tool data can be modified in Edit Mode, some fields are still locked.
The Edit menu is enabled when the screen is in Edit Mode. All other menus are disabled until the OK or Cancel button is clicked.
| Item | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Menu Bar | Is disabled except for the Edit and Help menu |
| 2 | Toolbar | Is disabled except for the editing tools. |
| 3 | Sidebar | Is disabled |
| 4 | Unlocked fields | When a field is displayed with a white background it means it can be edited |
| 5 | OK button | Click to change the screen to View Mode, saving all changes. |
| 6 | Cancel Button | Click to cancel any changes. The screen returns to View Mode. |
