What’s New?... 

Within this table, is a summary of the major Administration menu upgrades.

New SectionsDescription
image.pngThe Administration menu is displayed as a horizontal navigation bar instead of a display of icons to symbolize each section. Sections and sub-sections appear in alphabetical order from the left to the right of your screen. With the exception of the Configuration section, which is fixed to the right side of your screen.
image.pngThere is now a new Favorite section. As a system administrator, you can bookmark up to 10 sub-sections from sections within the Administration menu by clicking on the Star icon that will appear in the right corner of your screen next to the Configuration section. Any sub-section that is favorited will appear in the Favorites section in chronological order. A yellow star indicates that the sub-section is favorited, and a clear star indicates that it is not favorited. Only sub-sections that appear in the navigation bar of the Administration menu can be favorited. To un-favorite, a sub-section, click on the star icon again and it will be removed from your favorites list in the Favorite section. When navigating to the Administration menu, the Favorite section appears first by default.

Where to Find Sub-sections Belonging to Removed sections

Both the Purchasing and Scheduling sections have been removed. Inventory Locations that once belonged under the Purchasing section is now in the Inventory section of the Purchasing module. The Forms section that once belonged under Purchasing, can now be found under the Application section of the Administration menu. The Managing Routes portion of Scheduling can directly be accessed by going to the More menu in the Scheduling module.
