Using the Mouse to Start a Process

If you prefer to use the mouse when working in Horizon, you can start a process by clicking on icons.

You can start a process by clicking on the process icon in the navigation bar. (The navigation bar is a tree menu that uses folders to organize the processes that you use in Horizon.) Your system administrator determines which processes are available in your navigation bar.

If your toolbar has been set up to include processes, you can start a process by clicking on a toolbar button. (For instructions on adding a process button to a toolbar, see the “Customizing the Toolbar” chapter of the Launcher Configuration Guide, or talk to your system administrator.)

To use the mouse to start a process from the navigation bar

1 Log in to Horizon.
2 Make sure the navigation bar is showing inside the Horizon workspace.

If you need to display the navigation bar, choose View, Navigation Bar.

3 Click the plus sign ( + ) next to the folder you want to open.

Horizon displays any folders and processes in the folder you opened. Here is a sample navigation bar with the Cataloging folder open:

4 If necessary, click the plus sign ( + ) next to any other folder you want to open until you find the process you want to start.
5 Double-click the process that you want. (For example, if you want to create a new bibliographic record, double-click Create New Bib.)

Horizon starts the process.

For more information on using Horizon process windows, see Overview of Horizon Process Windows. For more information on doing the task for a specific process, see the appropriate Horizon user’s guide.
