This manual describes a large number of interactions, program dialogs, menus and interfaces. The following conventions apply for this.

Messages

Important information is displayed in a gray box with a corresponding icon. The following types of note are used in this guide:

Information: This is additional information that makes working with ELO easier.

Please note: Take this note into account to ensure the smooth operation of your program.

Warning: Absolutely adhere to this note, otherwise there will be significant restrictions in the operation of your program.

Italics

The names of menus, options, dialog boxes, folders, references to chapters, paths, and file extensions are written in italics.

Example: Click ELO > Configuration and choose the Display option.

Keyboard commands

Shortcuts are written in UPPER CASE. A plus sign (+) between the key descriptions means the keys should be pressed simultaneously.

Example: CTRL+C

Bold

Notes and highlighted information are marked in bold in the user manual. This also applies for the words alternatively, optional, and the names of examples.

Courier

Program code, program outputs, inputs and scripts are written in Courier font.

Example: MsgBox "Hello world!"

Paths

This manual differentiates between three types of paths:

Navigation paths: These paths describe the order of buttons and menu items you click through to use certain functions. You can recognize navigation paths by the pointy brackets (>) and the italic font.

Example: Click the ELO > Configuration > Display > Repository layout.

Filing paths: These paths describe filing paths within the ELO repository. You can recognize filing paths by the pilcrow sign (¶).

Example: Save the document under ¶ Filing ¶ Year ¶ Month.

Document and filing paths: These paths describe storage locations for files within the operating system. We indicate this by using backslashes (\).

For example: Save the document under C:\Documents\Vacation.
