Navigating

rAbstract was designed to aid users in navigating lease data efficiently.

The Dashboard

After logging into rAbstract, the user arrives at the Dashboard. The Dashboard is the user interface which displays all available Clients, Projects, Buildings, and Forms, as well as Alerts relevant to available Clients, Projects, Buildings, and Leases. The Dashboard may be accessed from any page in rAbstract by selecting "Dashboard" from the Menu.

Menu

The Menu is located at the top of every page in rAbstract and consists of increasing options as the user drills down into the database. At the Lease level, Menu options include:

• Switch Organization
• Dashboard
• Reports
• Admin
• Preferences
• Help
• Logoff

The availability of certain Menu options is dependent on a user's Role and Permissions.

Navigation Tree

The Navigation Tree is located at the left side of the Client, Project, Building, Lease, and Report sections. The Navigation Tree permits the user to access different sections of the application.

Panes

The Panes are where information is entered into the database. There are one to three panes available for data input, depending on the category selected from the Navigation Tree. The top pane is referred to as Pane 1 and the lower pane is referred to as Pane 2. Where a data input screen contains threes panes, the middle pane is referred to as Pane 2 and the lower pane is referred to as Pane 3.

Toolbars

The Toolbars are located at the top of every pane and contain commands relevant editing information in each pane.

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs appear at the top of every page, below the Menu, and illustrate the "trail" followed to arrive at the current page.

Sliding Pane

The Sliding Pane provides quick access menus on all input screens in rAbstract. Depending on the input screen, users have access to Projects, Buildings, Forms, Leases, a Tool Box and a Help Menu. The Help Menu provides links to the rAbstract Knowledge Base, to a Lease Term Glossary, and to Submit a Ticket.
