Menu Bar
The menu bar contains menus for the functional and administrative areas of the system. As you navigate through SAP
screens, the options on the menu bar will change, but every menu bar will contain System and Help.
System Function Bar
The bar below the menu bar consists of a range of icons with general GUI functions and a field where you can enter a
transaction code.
The Title Bar
Situated horizontally below the system function bar, it contains the name of the R/3 application currently being displayed,
for example, SAP Easy Access ABAP Workbench. When a SAP GUI window is inactive (the window is not the focus of
the mouse/keyboard), the title appears at the top in place of the menu bar, which is hidden. When the SAP GUI title is
active the application menu is displayed.
The Application Bar
Located below the title bar, the application bar contains icons relevant to the specific application. It generally provides
quicker access to some of the most commonly used functions for the current screen and system tasks. For instance the
Execute button is often available in the first position of the application toolbar.
Status Bar
Situated at the very bottom of the screen, it tells you which SAP system you are in, important to distinguish practice from
test or production. You can hide and unhide this area.
