Introducing the Doors Desktop
Every task in Doors is begun from the desktop. Navigating the desktop is simply a matter of
using the mouse to point and click on items, and entering appropriate information when
needed.
The Desktop
There are eight fields on the Doors desktop (see Figure 4).

1. Window Title Bar – On the left side of the title bar is the name of the program operating
the window; on the right side are the Windows control boxes for minimizing or

2. Menu Bar – A list of the pull-down menus in the Doors program is displayed on the

4. Task Field – When a task is begun by a selection from the menu bar or the tool bar, a
window will appear within this field to manage whatever is necessary to perform this
task. Multiple task windows can be open simultaneously within the task field. Each
window in the task field will have its own title bar identifying the window. The title bar
of the active task in the task field is highlighted.
