Getting Started with netERP

netERP is structured like an office application: the ribbon at the top, with your open modules shown as tabs below.

The ribbon

The tabs organize modules by function: Client (Dashboard, CRM, Journal, Clipboard, Windows), Ticket, Master Data, Documents, Reporting and others. A click opens the module as a tab.

Dock modules

Each module is a tab. Drag a tab to an edge to dock it alongside others; a double-click or dragging it out turns it into a separate window, for example for a second monitor. Ctrl+W closes the tab. Client → Arrange windows redocks all windows or resets the layout. netERP remembers opened modules and their layout for you.

List and form

Each module shows a list and a form for the individual record. F6 switches between them. The button bar provides Add, Copy, Save, Reset, Delete, Refresh and Print. On the left of the form the section menu takes you to the record’s areas; the footer shows who created and modified it and when. Mandatory fields carry a red asterisk.

The Dashboard

The dashboard (F4) displays tiles: modules, web links, metrics, short lists or text. In edit mode you drag tiles into place; a double-click opens the tile settings. A tile is visible either only to you or to all users.

Language, theme and display size

  • File → Options → Language: System language, German, English, French or Spanish; the choice takes effect after a restart.
  • File → Options → Theme: Automatic, Light or Dark.
  • The zoom slider at the bottom right sets the display size between 50 and 200 percent.

Important keyboard shortcuts

F2 New · Ctrl+F2 Copy · Ctrl+S Save · Ctrl+F9 Discard · Ctrl+Del Delete · Ctrl+P Print · F5 Refresh · F3 List search · Ctrl+F Full-text search · Ctrl+T New ticket · Ctrl+M Inbox. Under File → Options → Key assignments you can define your own keys.

Next step

If you have a concrete modernization, API or platform question, we should establish the technical scope clearly and early.

Net-Base evaluates existing systems, data paths, interfaces and target platforms not in isolation, but in the context of domain logic, operations and future expansion.

  • Current state, target state and technical risks are assessed jointly.
  • REST, data access, portals and rollout are not deferred to a later stage as secondary consequences.
  • You can see early on which path is economically and operationally viable.
