L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #144 User Interface terminology
Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is inspired by the forum post: User Interface questions - Logos Forums
It is easier to answer forum questions if a common vocabulary is used. An example that throws me is using "search" for doing what I call a "look up" in a dictionary or tool. We're never going to get a truly common vocabulary because new users don't know the semi-official terms, people from different locations are used to using words differently, some people are posting in a second language, and so on. That is the spirit in which I present Dave's very useful post.

- https://wiki.logos.com/Right_Click_Menu - context menu

This is an overview of various parts of the Logos Window
- The window is divided into a Title Bar an App Toolbar and (adjustable) Tiles
- The App Toolbar could be on the left side of the window
- Hover over an icon in a toolbar to finds its purpose. Click to open.
- A Tile can consist of many Tabs, each created when you open a resource or a tool
- The information part of a Tab is called a Panel, and each panel will have a Toolbar with a Panel Menu.
- Some panels will have a Sidebar which opens from the toolbar.
- Some will have a non-adjustable Pane (this one is for the reverse interlinear data) which is opened from the toolbar.

I can see this is going to work really well.
From advice on Windows "On the right, are app tiles, which usually open Windows Store apps. Right-click on a tile and you will see options, the first being "Unpin from Start", which will obviously removes the tile from the Start menu."
Then there's the cards ...

It's going to work as well as it works as it is Faithlife terminology from the Help file and other sources. I tend to still use "pane" rather than "tile" which was used in some training some time back. I'm so out-of-date that I still think of apps as mobile and use application for desktop and main frames. How long since you've heard of a ribbon? and I keep using the archaic "pick list".

Probably will need to expect that pane and tile will still be confused, since the difference is more subtle.
