Log in
You can log in using a username and password, or if configured, with Azure AD.
There are two login modes:
User mode
When you login in User mode, you can access what your permissions allow.
Device mode
A shared PC may be registered as a device. When you log into Device mode, you are logging into the system in the context of a specific location. The screen defaults to a restricted display of data appropriate for that area.
A PC that has been registered as a device will default to login in Device mode, but you can select User mode if you are registered as a user.
User interface
The user interface gives you the ability to easily navigate to any section of the interface giving you a seamless user experience when working with the system.
Search
The two main ways to search on the system is the menu search and the Search page search.
Menu search
The search above the left-hand menu searches for only menu items. It is the most efficient way of navigating to menu items.
Search page
Clicking the search icon in the top right menu opens the Search page. Searches done here are system wide. For example, you could search for a user by name which will return results. This will not work in the menu search.
Favourites
Your frequently accessed menu items can be added to the favourites folder by selecting the favourite option from the Options (person) icon in the top right menu. Your favourited pages will appear in the Favourites left-hand menu item. Each user will see just their own favourite pages.
Full screen mode
Click the burger menu on the top left corner to minimize or display the left-hand menu.
