Exploring the SOAPware Interface - Toolbars
Many commands in SOAPware are used repeatedly, and it is common to place frequently used commands on toolbars. By default, a common toolbar is placed on the right side of the screen. Multiple toolbars are an option, and they can be placed/docked to any edge of the screen. Also, they can float anywhere desired.

Customizing Toolbars
Users may customize the existing toolbars by adding and deleting buttons from the existing toolbar. To do this, Click the Commands tab in the Customize window shown above.
To add commands to a toolbar, locate the command you wish to add. To locate the commands a user would like to include, Click on "All Commands", or browse by category, such as "Chart Section" or "Edit". Next, Click and hold on the command in the "Command" section of the window and drag it to the toolbar and drop it in the desired location. When the command is ready to drop, a black bar will be visible in the toolbar, indicating where the new command will be located.
To remove a command from a toolbar, with the command window above still open, Click and hold the button on the toolbar and drag it to the command window and drop it. This will remove it from the toolbar. Users may also use this method to rearrange the commands on the toolbars by dragging them to another position.
