The status bar is located at the bottom of the program’s user interface.
The Status bar displays the name of the project you currently have opened, the name of the item currently selected in the Project Manager, as well as a number of useful indicators and a sizing grip.
The indicator on the far-left of the status bar turns from grey to yellow if you make unsaved changes to the project. When the project is saved this indicator will be reset to grey.
The progress bar is used by Repute’s calculations to give an indication of how long a task takes to complete.
The four boxes in the middle of the status bar indicate whether there are unread messages in the Message Board. When a new message appears, the indicators turn from grey to a colour depicting the type of message that has appeared. From left to right the indicators turn green, yellow, red and black relating to Information, Warnings, Errors, and Critical errors respectively.
The various letters on the right-hand side of the status bar indicate whether certain keys are in an on or off state, by turning black or grey respectively. From left to right, the indicators refer to the following keys: Caps lock, Number lock, Scroll Lock, and Insert.
The sizing grip allows you to re-size the program’s main window, which, for example, might be needed to see all the information given in one of its detailed reports.
