The first thing you will see after logging into nuBuilder Forte is a nuBuilder Launch Form (also referred to as a Home Page).

On the Home Page, you will find Buttons that will take you to other Forms.


Forms

Each Form has 4 ways to help you navigate nuBuilder Forte.

Action Buttons

Action Buttons appear above Breadcrumbs on a Form.

Form Action Buttons

Standard Action Buttons belong to each Browse or Edit Form.

You can choose which buttons each Access Level has access to.

Report Action Buttons

Procedure Action Buttons

There are 2 ways to run a Procedure.

  1. Run - For Procedures run in a new browser window - nuRunPHP.
  2. Run - For Procedures run but hidden from the user - nuRunPHPHidden - Using PHP's print or echo statements here will cause errors as there is nothing to print to.

Custom Action Buttons

Breadcrumbs

As you click through different forms, a Breadcrumb will be created above the Browse or Edit Form.

As you continue to go to more Forms, the Breadcrumb will get longer.

eg. Home > Invoice > 007 as in the flowchart below.

Clicking on a link in the Breadcrumb will return you to a previously visited Form.

Clicking on Home will return you to where you originally started.
