Menu Guidelines

• Design prompts with unique first letters (typing thefirst letter will automatically select it).

• Sequence the prompts with the most frequentlyused functions first.

• Entries cannot be copied from one menu definitionto another.

• Use acronyms only when an industry term or company word is so capitalized—for example, WIPor COGS.
