Navigating the website

Becoming familiar with the layout of the application is a first step in quickly accessing its many features.

Page layout

Pages are designed so that menus and functionality areas appear the same way throughout the application. While some elements are not part of every page, the basic layout of the page is consistent.

This design standard makes it easier for you to find what you need, no matter where you are on the website.

This menu is referred to as Menu throughout the help system.

Refer to the individual feature or function help topics for detailed information about specific sections.

Landing page

The landing page is the page you see immediately after logging into the application. To access your landing page from other pages, select Landing from your user menu.

The appearance of your landing page is based on how your administrator has set up the website and your user access to different applications. Your system administrator may have selected a particular application page, such as the Repair Order page, as your landing page. You can change your landing page in your user profile.

However, the most commonly used landing page, AMS Default, provides links to pages in these categories:

  • Master Pages

  • Activities

  • Orders

  • User Options
