MRSweb Lesson 2.2 - Navigation Menus & Toolbars

Lesson 2

Chapter 2 - Navigation Menus & Toolbars

​When you login to MRSweb your Home page will open.

i Throughout these lessons, a page, dialog, setting, menu, or toolbar may look different due to the size of the screen on your device.  When this occurs we may show screenshots of the different views.
​
Home page - desktop view                                                                                            Home page - mobile view

​The menus may appear differently depending on the device you are using or your permissions.  For instance, on a Desktop or laptop, the Home page shows 2 menu options - the Menu bar and the Menu list.  A mobile phone will only show the Menu list.  Sales reps will have fewer menu options due to permissions.  

Home page - desktop view - Sales reps' permissions​

​Menus
​ 
There are 2 main types of Menus:
1 - Menu bar, across the top of the page (horizontal menu)
The menu bar displays the main page names with down arrows indicating there are submenus.  Click or tap a menu bar list to see the submenus.

2 - Menu list, along the side of the page (vertical menu)
The menu list displays both the main page names and their submenus in list form.  For example, in the screenshot below, the Menu list shows "Contacts" (the main page) and directly below, the names of the submenus - Companies, Customers, Accounts, etc.

Depending on the size of your screen you may see one or both of these menus. 

Typically on a desktop/laptop and some larger tablets, both the menu bar and the menu list appear on the Home page.  The Menu bar is visible on every page, allowing you to navigate to another area within the app.  The Menu list is visible on the Home page and by clicking the Hamburger icon.

On a cell phone and some smaller tablets, only the menu list appears on the Home page and by tapping the Hamburger icon.  You can also navigate around the app by using the tab bar.

Regardless of the menu type displayed, the menu options remain the same.
​​

The Menu bar and the Menu list include the same options:
