2. The fixed shell: sidebar and top bar

Every screen sits in the same frame: on the left the sidebar with the modules, at the top the bar with the things you need everywhere.

Every screen sits in the same frame: on the left the sidebar with the modules, at the top the bar with the things you need everywhere.

The sidebar

The sidebar is grouped under headings (Main, Work, Data, AI…). Which items you see depends on your role and on which modules are switched on.

Tip: you set the width of the sidebar and the colours under Settings › Theme. The icon at the top left of the top bar collapses and expands the sidebar.

The top bar

ButtonWhat it does
OverviewA drop-down menu with shortcuts to everything that does not fit in the sidebar: Customers, Contacts, Approvals (with the number of waiting hours), Upload (importing hours), Reports, Budget Tracking, Hours Logged, Users, Companies, Templates, Settings, Theme, Notification Rules and AI usage.
+ Log TimeOpens the booking popup (chapter 4). This button is on every screen.
TimerThe stopwatch: starts or pauses, resets to zero, and the diskette icon opens the booking popup with the elapsed time already filled in.
Your nameTo your profile: details, password, language and working hours (chapter 24).
Log outThe arrow icon on the right.
?At the top right of the page header: the help for that specific screen. Almost every screen has one.

The help inside the application itself

Almost every screen has a ? at the top right. Behind it is the explanation of that particular screen, in the same language as your interface. This manual describes how everything fits together; the help in the application describes the screen you are on at that moment.

Administrators with platform rights see extra icons in the top bar: an organisation picker, a button to the activity log and a terminal console. Those are covered in chapter 27.
