This guide introduces the Main Menu. It is intended for general users.
The Main Menu is the central navigation tool in aACE. It appears when you first enter the system and remains on the screen until you logout. If the Main Menu ever gets hidden behind other windows, you can bring it to the front by clicking the Home icon ( The numbered sections on the screenshot to the right are explained in more detail below. |  |
) on any aACE module.1. Header
The Dashboard link provides quick access to any key indicators your system administrator has configured. The Notices link displays the Notices module so you can easily review your internal notifications.
2. Menu Options
The Main Menu provides multiple levels of navigation. For example, clicking the entry for CRM & Sales displays a sub-menu where you can access Companies, Contacts, Leads, and other modules. Menu links may also include a third level to access relevant details. Clicking the Back icon (<) returns you to the previous menu level. Menu options can vary between aACE systems and between user groups.
Linking to External Resources
aACE menu options can also be customized links to resources outside aACE.
An example of this is the aACE 6 Help link. This link opens a new tab in your default web browser and displays the aACE 6 knowledge base. At this site, you can review guidelines, search for troubleshooting tips, and learn best practices.
