Collapsible Panel
Definition: A collapsible panel is a UI element that can be expanded or collapsed to reveal or hide its associated content. This makes it an excellent tool for optimizing space and managing large amounts of information within a confined area.

Control Buttons
Definition: Control buttons are UI elements typically located at the top right of the interface that provide quick access to commonly used functions such as save, delete, duplicate, undo, and more.
Example: Imagine working on a quote in the Sales page of FL3XX. You make some adjustments and now you want to save your progress. That's where the 'Save' control button comes into play. Likewise, if you want to duplicate the quote or delete it entirely, you would use the respective control buttons.
DDL (Drop Down List)
Definition: A DDL is an interactive UI element that expands to display a list of options when clicked.
Example: Selecting your workflow in the Sales page.

Itinerary Table
Definition: In the Sales page, the itinerary table shows a detailed sequence of flight legs for a booking. It contains the times, dates, locations, number of passengers and can display warnings related to individual legs.
Example: The itinerary table in the Sales page is your booking's overview. Each row is like a different journey, listing the details of each leg of your booking. Think of it as your a flight blueprint.
Left-Hand (LH) Menu
Definition: The Left-Hand (LH) Menu is a vertical navigation panel placed on the left side of the interface. It contains links or buttons that direct users to different sections of the application.
Example: The LH menu is like your library. It contains links to each book you might need. These books can be for example quotes in the Sales page or airports in the Airport page.
Navigation Menu
Definition: A navigation menu consists of clickable titles that direct users to specific sections of the page based on the title selected.
Example: The navigation menu in the "Persons" page.
Notification
Definition: A notification is a UI element that alerts users about updates, warnings or errors. It will appear on the bottom right of your screen.
Example: The validation notification appearing when you update your quote.
Page
Definition: A page is like a whole new world within our app. It's a standalone part of a website or application that users can navigate to.
Example: In FL3XX, 'Sales' or 'Dispatch' are different pages in our application.
Panel
Definition: Panels are subdivided areas on a Page, dedicated to specific content or functionalities.
Example: On the Dispatch page, Handling and Transport are housed in separate panels.
Popup
Definition: A Popup is a small window that appears over the main application window, used to display important messages or prompt user action.

Switch
Definition: A switch is a binary UI control that allows users to toggle between two states, such as on/off or yes/no.
Example: Show subcharter flights in the Timeline page.
Table
Definition: A table is a UI element that organizes and displays data in rows and columns, facilitating comparison, organization, and understanding of large amounts of information.
Example: A table can take different forms but the principle is the same. The "Contacts" table in the Persons page is just as much of a table as the one in Dispatch.

Definition: The table headers are the bold, descriptive labels found at the top of each column in a data table. They provide context for the information contained in the columns below. The dark ones are clickable to sort by.
Example: In the Dispatch page, your flights will be sorted by ascending dates by default. Clicking that header will sort by descending dates. This works for any other title in dark and bold.
Tabs
Definition: Tabs are UI elements used to separate content into different sections within the same screen, page, or window. Only one tab's content can be visible at a time, and users can switch between tabs to view different content sections.
