About client windows

Client windows (sometimes called "dialogs" or "screens") open when you click a Connexion client command on a menu or in another window. You use windows to complete tasks by making selections, entering data, and clicking buttons.

 Note: OCLC Connexion documentation uses the term windows for the Connexion client and the term screens for the Connexion browser.
