Navigating the website

Becoming familiar with the layout of the application is a first step in quickly accessing its many features. Though the hosting company may have customized the site by changing the color scheme or menu names, the basic navigation remains the same.

The hosting company may have renamed or moved some menus and items. Be aware that the online help topics provide instructions using the default menu names and locations.

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.

Menu

The main menu appears in the upper left of each page.

image4

It consists of the core menus that are the starting point for accessing most of the website’s features. The availability of features from this menu depends on how the hosting company has chosen to customize the menu and your user access to different applications.

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

Quick Links star

You can use the Quick Links star to add any page you currently are viewing to your Quick Links. If the star is yellow, it is already one of your Quick Links.

Page name

The page name informs you of your location on the website. Page names are used throughout the help system to help you verify that you are in the correct place.

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 the hosting company 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 View Available Loads page, as your landing page. You can change your landing page in your user profile.

Three of the most commonly used landing pages are:

  • Customer Landing

  • Carrier Landing

  • Driver Landing
