Focus areas on the Desktop

The focus areas on the left hand side of the desktop, provide quick access to those functions that have a natural connection with one another. For example, when you select Contact Management in the left hand menu, the window to the right will display buttons for the various functions within the module. These are organised in such a way as to visualise the process flow within the module. Clicking on a button will open the relevant module window.

Within the user settings you can select which of the focus areas should be active when you log in. This allows you to, directly access the functions most frequently used. If you have set your monitor to a high screen resolution, you will be able to see fixed information to the right of the desktop for all focus areas that are not websites.

The buttons showing the process flow in the main window, act as shortcuts to the various functions. Which buttons are displayed, depends on your license and the functions you have access to.

Below this flow diagram you will find information boxes, buttons/shortcuts to other functions and a user-defined 'My functions' button containing further shortcuts. You can decide which information boxes and buttons each focus area should display within this part of the window.

If you wish you can select to Show buttons for the module instead of focus area in the left hand menu, within the user settings for the desktop. If you tick this box, the desktop will display module buttons which take you directly to a module. This is opposed to the focus area buttons, which take you to a selection of functions. This will make the left hand menu act as a shortcut directly into a single module.
