1. Introduction

This manual consists of forms explanations of the "Alexandria" application. Through this manual, we will try to explain the functionality of the elements of each form and thus further facilitate the already quite intuitive use of the application interface.

2. Login

When starting the application, a form opens where we can enter our username and password, and then by pressing the "Log in" button, the application goes through input authentication and authorization. If the data is invalid, the "Login failed" pop-up window pops up.

3. Homepage

Application homepage. By pressing the "Log out" button, the user returns to the login form. Pressing the remaining buttons opens the forms that are explained in the text below.

4. Literatures

On this page of the application, we have records of all literature, options for adding new ones, withdrawing existing literature, records of all pickings, as well as the possibility of adding authors and categories (if we need them when adding new literature).

5. Add literature

The form for adding new literature, where we enter the name, author and category. One picking in can have multiple picking in items, meaning we can add multiple literature to one picking in.

6. Add author

On this form, we can add a new author.
