In the Desktop ClientGeneral term for using either the Excel Client or the Windows Client, both of which are installed to the user's desktop., all major Axiom Software files and features can be accessed using the Axiom tab on the ribbon.

The Axiom tab contains the following groups:

NOTE: This topic discusses the default contents of the Axiom ribbon tab. This ribbon tab can be customized per installation, or even removed and replaced with other custom ribbon tabs. You may also be assigned additional custom ribbon tabs that provide access to Axiom Software functionality. For more information, see Task panes and ribbon tabs and Customizing the Axiom ribbon tab.

The specific groups and features available on the menu depend on your security settings. For example, the File Groups group only displays the file groups that you have access to, and only allows opening plan files unless you have been granted the security rights to access other file group items like drivers and templates. Most end users will not see the Administration group or the Advanced group, unless they have been granted access to a feature in that area.

Spreadsheet features are available on other ribbon tabs, to perform spreadsheet formatting and other related tasks. If you are using the Excel Client, then you have access to all of the normal Microsoft Excel ribbon tabs. If you are using the Windows Client, a Home tab provides access to commonly-used spreadsheet features. For more information, see Using spreadsheet features.
