Classic Menu Bar

navigate_rightClassic Usage Conventions

For Notebook style windows, you will see a menu bar that allows you to add new items, save, delete, &c.  Notebook style windows are present in all areas apart from Audits, Policies and Appraisals; these are outside the scope of this training and if you have these modules they will be covered by your trainer.

The options displayed will vary, but the table below covers the most commonly available buttons.

Note: the availability of these buttons is tied to access privileges, so they will only be available if you have been given the appropriate permission.

New
