THE DASHBOARD
The home page, or Dashboard, contains the basic elements of CurrentTrack®. There are two variations of CurrentTrack— administrative access for those who control it and general access for its users. The difference between the two is the number of accessible features, or Permissions, that have been assigned. Those who need special access to create and delete Employees, for example, will use an interface with more operable links than general access users.
TOP NAVIGATION
The top, left corner of the page contains two search features:
Quick Search — Search by job Title keywords and Numbers, Client names
Advanced Search — Search for jobs, creative files, documents, et. al using a number of criteria
TIP: Use the Quick Search box to quickly move from one job to another when updating Tasks.
To the immediate right of the Quick and Advanced search features, you’ll find a series of icons:
Menu — Reflects frequently used documents (and actions)
