File menu

  • Close - Press Close, or ALT + C, to close the current screen.
  • Print- Press Print, or ALT + P, to send the screen to your default printer.
  • Refresh Cache - to refresh memory set aside to store frequently accessed data. In WinTeam, an area of high speed memory is set aside to store frequently accessed data. When data is accessed, a copy is stored in cache memory. The next time information is looked for, it first checks the cache. If the data is there, it can retrieve it from the cache memory much faster. This includes all settings in the Defaults area. The user making a change to the Defaults area will have information automatically cached when a change is made. However, another user would not recognize this change unless they exit out of WinTeam and come back into a fresh session. When you close WinTeam, the cache is cleared out. You always have the option to manually refresh the cache on any screen.

Window menu

The Window menu contains command to Close All Windows and also a shortcut to the Home Page.
