Many pages in the System contain Tabs.
The Tabs display at the top of the page and/or on the left hand side of the screen and allow you to move to a different screen while working in a certain area of the System.
You will notice the Tab for which you are currently working is highlighted by a black box.
The Navigation Bar displays on the left side of the screen no matter where you are working in the Application. This means that navigating through the program is quick and simple.
The Options Menu is located at the top of the Navigation Bar. The Options Menu takes you to every area within the System.
You can navigate to anywhere in the System from the Options Menu. So, this is where you go to access areas of the System not accessed using the Quick Access Buttons.
The Quick Access Buttons are located at the bottom of the Navigation Bar.
This makes accessing Daily Attendance Entry and Student Maintenance quick by using only one click of your mouse.
(Remember, the Navigation Bar remains on the screen no matter where you are working in the System. So, the Quick Access Buttons can be accessed easily no matter where you are working.)
If you need to change the School Year in which you want to work, click the Options Menu. The School Year Drop Down List Box displays at the top. The System defaults to the current School Year.
Whenever you login, the System defaults the Site to the one you were working in with your last login. If you need to change the Site in which you want to work, click the Options Menu. The Site Drop Down List Box displays below the School Year.
