Navigating Your Way Around the Application
Sava provides a simple and easy navigation structure in the form of a menu bar on the top right of the page, a standard panel on the left and a pull-down menu of your Sava websites above that. These features stay put even if other pages and dialogs related to other menu items and websites are open. This enables you to easily access the menu bar from anywhere in the application.
The Menu Bar and the Menus
The standard menu bar of the Sava application is shown in the image displayed above. The Logout button is placed below the menu bar. See image above.

The Home Page Panels
In addition to the right-hand menu bar, the home page features standard panels that offer a variety of services. The number of panels also depends on the menu item selected. The different panels and how to use them are described below.
The Left Panel with the Main Menu Items
The instruction command for the above menu would be: On the menu bar click Help -> Documentation.
Clicking an option from a menu will open the appropriate page to perform the designated activity.
This menu panel (located on the left of your page) is what you’ll be accessing most often to perform the important functions of Sava. By default, the Dashboard menu is opened the first time you login to Sava.
The Details Pane
The Details Pane displays panels, information, search and other fields required to perform tasks related to the menu item that was selected in the Left Panel menu. In the above example the Details Pane displays panels, fields and information related to the Dashboard.
The Site Selector
The site selector is located above the left panel menu. Using its drop-down list you can select a site that you wish to maintain with Sava. The name of the selected site is displayed beside the field.
To select a site
1. Select a site from the drop-down list.
2. The web page refreshes and opens the Dashboard for the site.
3. The name of the selected site is displayed beside the drop-down list field.
Exiting the Application
Follow the procedure below to log off from Sava.
1. Click the Logout button below the menu bar.
Note: Ensure that you have completed and saved whatever you are working on before clicking Logout on the menu bar. Please also take caution to log off by clicking Logout only. Do not use the back button of your web browser. Web hosted customers working particularly in non-office environments must exit from the application when they are done so that the application is not left exposed to others.
