The top navigation bar, or nav bar, is the primary navigation tool in the Power User Interface. Your nav bar can be customized using the Preferences option of the User Menu, or by an administrator adjusting the navigation menu assigned to your primary team.

Your system can also be configured to show the navigation menu as a left pane, instead of a nav bar at the top of the screen. For information about using the left pane, see the Left Pane section.

Nav Bar

The nav bar shows a configurable list of items, and you can toggle the bar between different configured groupings depending on your workflow. To switch bars, click the menu icon on the left and select the grouping you want to open. The toolbar refreshes with the options in that grouping.

Your nav bar might include any or all of these items. To change what appears on the bar, go to User Menu > Preferences and click Navigation Menu Setup. Some items offer additional configuration options, which you can access by adding the item to the Navigation Bar list and selecting it there.

• Home: Opens the default dashboard, last opened dashboard, or a specified dashboard. You can select a different dashboard preference for each instance of Home on your navigation menu.
• Chart Collections: Opens the list of Chart Collections.
• Summary/combined reports: Opens the list of Custom Summary Reports.
• Messaging: Opens the Broadcasting wizard used to send messages to all KB users.
• Chat status: Shows the number of chats currently in progress, staff members online, and pending chat requests.
• Communications: Opens Email Inbox, Sent Emails, or all communications visible to the user.
• My Assigned: Dependent on teams and group permissions, this menu contains the global Inbox, All My Assigned Records, and separate inboxes for each table. You can enable counting for inbox records in user preferences, under the user menu on the top toolbar, so users can see in the left pane how many records are assigned to them.
• Last Opened: Shows the five records most recently opened, displayed as the first 25 characters of the field defined as the Summary field for the table.
• Tables: Any table can be added to the nav bar for quick access. Click the table name to open the table to your most recent saved search, or click the arrow next to a table to show + New [Table Record], any subtables that exist, a list of saved searches, Charts/Reports, and, if you have permission, Setup [Table]. To add searches to this list, go to Saved Searches > Manage and select the Show in Left Pane checkbox.

Left Pane

The top nav bar is the recommended navigation tool, but your system might be configured to use a left pane instead. The left pane can be collapsed using the hamburger menu in the top-left corner, which makes more space to view records or table views. Even with the left pane collapsed, you can click the company logo to return to the Home Page.

The left pane has all the same options as the Nav Bar, and like the nav bar, you can use Preferences to customize and rearrange the items listed. The left pane also offers an additional Calendar option, which expands to show a calendar of the current month.

With the left pane, use the arrow icons to expand or collapse each menu item to see more options. Under the Tables menu, you can see and groupings and individual tables. Expanding at the individual table level offers the same list of options you see when expanding a table on the nav bar: + New [Table Record], any subtables that exist, a list of saved searches, Charts/Reports, and, if you have permission, Setup [Table]. To add searches to this list, go to Saved Searches > Manage and select the Show in Left Pane checkbox.
