Chapter 2 - Navigation Menus & Toolbars
Home page - desktop view Home page - mobile view
When you login to MRSweb your Home page will open.
i Throughout these lessons, a page, dialog, setting, menu, or toolbar may look different depending on the device you're using. When this occurs we may show screenshots of the different views.
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.
