Sap Gui Screen Features

Menu Bar The menu bar contains menus for the functional and administrative areas of the system. As you navigate through SAP screens, the options on the menu bar will change, but every menu bar will contain System and Help.

System Function Bar The bar below the menu bar consists of a range of icons with general GUI functions and a field where you can enter a transaction code.

The Title Bar Situated horizontally below the system function bar, it contains the name of the R/3 application currently being displayed, for example, SAP Easy Access ABAP Workbench. When a SAP GUI window is inactive (the window is not the focus of the mouse/keyboard), the title appears at the top in place of the menu bar, which is hidden. When the SAP GUI title is active the application menu is displayed.

The Application Bar Located below the title bar, the application bar contains icons relevant to the specific application. It generally provides quicker access to some of the most commonly used functions for the current screen and system tasks. For instance the Execute button is often available in the first position of the application toolbar.

Status Bar Situated at the very bottom of the screen, it tells you which SAP system you are in, important to distinguish practice from test or production. You can hide and unhide this area.
