Lesson 5. Navigating to Initial Screens With the Menu FoldersThis lesson describes the method of navigating to the initial screens of transactions with the menu folders of the SAP Easy Access screen. The default version of the SAP Easy Access screen displays two sets of folders in its central work area: the menu folders and Favorites folders (Figure 5.1). These folders contain links (A) that lead you to the initial screens of transactions with just a double-click of the mouse. Figure 5.1. The first- and second-order folders of the SAP Easy Access screen. The transaction links of the Favorites folders are also displayed here (A). Notice that the folders and links are identified by different icons.The menu folders are exactly the same in their design and operation as the storage folders in your personal computer. They are organized in a hierarchical or multilevel structure of folders and subfolders. The lower-level or lower-order folders are generally few in number and define the general organization of the transaction links, separating them into broad functional groups such as Human Resources and Accounting. The higher-order folders, which are stored inside the lower-order ones, are far more numerous because they each represent a more narrowly defined functional group. At their highest level, they contain a small number of transaction links of a related type. For example, consider the structure of the upper menu folder in the central work area of the SAP Easy Access screen in Figure 5.1.
