Like all Apple Mac applications, Istoriam come with a set of menu options that can be found at the top of the screen.

• Records: a set of menu options to manage records such as creating a record, deleting a record, etc.

• Filters: a set of menu options to manage filters such as vacuuming filters.

  • Note: The Filters menu replaces the Record menu when the Filter Management Window is open and is the key window.​

• Edit: a standard menu group for editing text. This menu is functional only when entering the description text of a record.
