Header buttons

The header displayed on every page of the application contains several links and can be used for the following actions:

  • The application's name is displayed on the far left-side of the header and when clicked up - it serves as a Home button. If you are on any page of the app and wish to return to its homepage - the Inventory management page - you can do so by clicking on the application's name.
  • Immediately after the application name, on its right side, is the Client selection dropdown menu. If you have access to more than one client - this is where you can choose which one to view at a given moment.
  • Following is the Change requests button - here you can see requests to make modifications to the client's inventory. Please note, not all users have access to this page, as outlined in the user roles section.
  • Afterwards is the Global filters button icon - you can use it to apply application-wide filtering on your view.
  • Next is the Administration button icon - note that only users with a specific level of access can see this icon, as outlined in the provided link.
  • The Help menu button icon is also located in the header, immediately after the Administration icon button. When you click on the Help icon, a dropdown menu will be displayed with several useful links.
  • And the last available button icon in the header is the User one, which when clicked will display your name, the link to the Notification subscriptions page and a Logout link.
