.. _navigation-buttons:

.. rubric:: |oneBLC| Navigation buttons

The navigation buttons |buttonIconBackNavigation9| |buttonIconForwardNavigation9| give access to previous and next pages in the history.

The Ajax technology used by ProjeQtOr makes it possible to refresh the data while preserving the structure of the solution.

This is why you will lose the session to projeqtor if you use the navigation of your internet browser.



.. _buttons-newtab:

.. rubric:: |twoBLC| Button New tab 

The new tab button |newtab| allows to open a new tab within the same session.

When you open a tab on your browser, it opens a new session of ProjeQtOr.

For the browser to open the tab as a result of the first session you must go through our navigation system.


When you are already connected to a session, a screen indicates this to you.

Click on the button to reconnect from this tab or leave this one to recover the current session.

.. warning:: 
   
   We do not necessarily go back to the root but to the highest "visible" parent project. 
   
   For example, if we have a structure P1 => P1.1 => P1.1.1 => P1.1.1.1, if a CP is assigned to P1.1, it does not see P1, by checking P1.1.1.1 by favorite.

   We display P1.1 and P1.1.1 but not P1.
      
   Same remark as above on the limit of visibility.
      
      
      
      



* When the list of the project selector is restricted to favorites, deselecting a favorite project makes it disappear (refreshing the selector).

      The information to be copied is different depending on the item selected.
      
      The new item has the copied status by default. the last option allows you to copy the project with the “saved” status directly. In the global settings, planning tab > automation section > you can set this option definitively for each copy. If yes, the box will be automatically checked with each copy.
      
      When copying the project, the data of the closed resources are not copied.
      
      When an element is copied into another element (for example as an estimate copied into an order) an automatic saving of the copy options is carried out. These options will then be offered to you when you make a new copy of the same type.
      
      The last saved options for the last type of element copied will be offered when copying again to a new type of element that has not yet been used.
      
      The copy element with a field with the "unique" attribute automatically adds the extension (1) to respect uniqueness. The number increments with each copy of the same element.
