Interface Basics
The navigation bar found at the top of the screen in symplr Performance contains all the links and icons for accessing the various areas and features of the system. From the drop-down menu items to the icons and breadcrumbs in the lower bar, this provides an easy way to get to the features you need.
- Available areas. The main items in the navigation bar allow you to access different features throughout symplr Performance. Access to these items are controlled by system-wide permission sets, so you may not see all the options listed here. In fact, most employees only have access to the My Folder item.
- User menu. The user menu is the one that has your name on it - so hopefully it's pretty obvious which one we're referring to. This menu provides access to several Settings pages that control your account security and other system options, along with the system's Log Out link.
- Help menu. The Help and Release Notes options under this menu item launch the online help system in a new browser window or tab. The selected option determines which page of the online help system is displayed once opened. Clicking the Support option takes you to the symplr Community Support portal.
- Back button. This button merely takes you back to the previous page you were viewing. We recommend using this button instead of your browser's Back button when navigating around symplr Performance.
- Inline help. The
icon opens the inline help window for the page you're currently viewing. These windows provide smaller chunks of help material so you can get past those sticking points without having to dive into the full help system for answers. - Employee search. Available to managers and administrators, this Employee Search field provides a quick and easy way to locate employees in symplr Performance. Just start typing in the name of an employee and watch the magic happen.
