Finding pages and settings
The links in your navigation bar include your favourites, so they can differ between users. If a page such as ‘Ingredients’ or ‘Prescribers’ is already shown, you can open it directly. Otherwise, use ‘More’:
- Click ‘More keyboard_arrow_down’ in the top navigation bar to open the drop-down menu.
- Select the page under its group. For example, ‘arrow_forward Ingredients’ is under ‘Compounding’, and ‘medical_services Prescribers’ is under ‘Prescribers & Clinics’.
- To find a page quickly, type its name into ‘Search pages and settings’, then select the matching link.
On a small screen, tap the menu menu icon to reveal the navigation links, then tap ‘More’. The same groups open in a panel from the bottom of the screen.
To keep a page in your navigation bar, click its ‘star_border Add to favorites’ star in ‘More’. Click ‘star Remove from favorites’ to remove the shortcut; the page remains in ‘More’.
Configuration pages, such as ‘Dosage Forms’, are also available through the settings gear icon in the top-right navigation bar. This opens ‘Workspace settings’: choose a section from the left-hand side menu or use ‘Search settings’. On a small screen, the gear icon opens the settings section menu directly.
Available pages depend on your workspace features and permissions. If a page is missing from both navigation and search, ask your workspace administrator to check your access.
