How to open and close modules
Modules can be opened at any time from the Command Centre and from any open module. Certain actions you perform when working with EMu (such as linking records) may also open a module automatically.
Here we look at ways you can open one or more modules at any time:
From the Command Centre it is possible to open any number of modules, including multiple instances of the same module:
- The simplest way to open a module is to click its button in the Command Centre.
