Changing menus and toolbars
In Fuel Dispatch, located across the top of the window, is the menu bar. It consists of the Main menu bar and Main toolbar.
From the main menu, you can select commands to execute certain tasks. In Fuel Dispatch, these tasks include Application > Call On Demand Order Entry, Application > Card Planner, and Maintenance > User/Terminal Relations.
Fuel Dispatch also includes a set of icons referred to as a toolbar. Although menus ordinarily list all of the tasks you can perform within Fuel Dispatch, you also can initiate many of these tasks by clicking on a toolbar icon. Among some of the most common tasks executed from a toolbar are

Open, 
Save,
