  1. The Welcome Page


Geniusproject’s Welcome page guides users through the various application modules by offering a selection of shortcut icons to each.



By clicking on an icon, the user will be directed to the associated tab which also has a subset of shortcut icons to each of the actions they can perform within the selected module.


Once users eventually become more comfortable navigating through the different Geniusproject modules and no longer need the assistance of the shortcut icons, they can simply disable them by placing a check next to "Do not display homepage next time" found below the group of icons.





Another way to toggle the Welcome page icons on or off is by using the [Personal settings] menu: "Display all homepages" or "Hide all homepages".

  1. The Module Menu Bar


Geniusproject’s user interface is profile driven. Users will be granted access to a set of modules, views, charts and dashboards based on the profile they have been associated to.


The module menu bar allows users to easily navigate between modules. The active module will always be displayed in red.



  1. Contextual Navigation Menu


The title for the contextual navigation menu will always be that of the active module. The options of the contextual navigation bar allow users to access and create the information stored in the active module.
