By leaving your mouse cursor over a button or label for a second or two, inFlow will show you a short description of the highlighted item.

Help Center

inFlow's Help Center is your main source for detailed help. It contains articles like this one to help you to get to know inFlow.

You can bring up the Help Center by selecting Help Center from the Help menu.

From the Help Center, you can browse the help articles or search for content on a particular topic. To search for help:

You can also search for help directly from the main inFlow window by typing in keywords into the search box at the top right, then clicking the help icon.

Help Center Sections

Each article in the Help Center is placed into one of five sections:

• Sales – Sales Orders and Customer Information
• Purchasing – Purchase Orders and Vendor Information
• Inventory – Product Information, Stock Quantities, Stock Adjustments, etc.
• Reports – Reports offered by inFlow to gather and share information
