      <List>
         <ListIntro>Several methods to start a session are available, depending on
		  how the system was configured:</ListIntro>
         <ListItemHead>Start a session by code</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>Every session has a code. For example, the code of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls4100m000" role="session">Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000)</GUIRef> session is <Code>tdsls4100m000</Code>. For more information, refer to the <Link href="/baanerp/basictasks/000076#session.by.code" role="section" Update="No">To start a session by code</Link> section, later in this topic.</ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Select a session on the menu</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>In the Navigation area of the WebTop or Worktop, you can
			 select a session on the menu.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Note: In the WebTop client, you must click the session once.
			 In the Worktop client, you must double-click the session.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>A menu can be customized by using the LN tools.</Paragraph>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Start a session from within another session</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>Many sessions have special commands in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual" Update="No">Specific</GUIRef> menu or buttons to start related
			 sessions.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Some <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000100" role="glossary" Update="No">details sessions</Link> cannot be started directly.
			 To start these sessions, you must first start the related <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000102" role="glossary" Update="No">overview session</Link>.</Paragraph>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Start a session by using the process browser</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>A process browser displays a flow diagram from which you can
		  start various sessions and other applications. The process browser displays the
		  applications that a user must start in a specific order, based on the user's
		  role.</ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Start a session from a work list in a workflow
		  system</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>A workflow system manages the flow of documents that the LN application
			 processes, for example, sales orders, requests for quotations, work orders, or
			 invoices.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>If a <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000039" role="glossary">workflow user</Link> opens a <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000096" role="glossary">work item</Link> from his or her <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000014" role="glossary">work list</Link>, the workflow system automatically starts the
			 related session.</Paragraph>
