Function areas are the way in which users interact with TransLution. Each button that a user sees on a TransLution Device - EazyTouch for Windows or Android, is a function area. There are different types of function areas. The first type are 'Step' or 'Input' based function areas which allow users to proceed one step at a time through a data capture process. There are also Grid functions where users view data in a grid format and have the option to interact with the data. We also have forms to caputre Quality data. 


The maintenance for the functions is currently done in different places depdning on the fype of function. On the main TransLution menu, select Function Area Maintenance to see the list below.
