Navigation

This section provides details about the Indigenous Procurement Policy Reporting Solution (IPPRS) website and how to navigate around the web application, select views, filter and open records.

Web Application Nav Bar

The web application nav (navigation) bar provides the structure for navigation within the IPPRS. It is evaluated, together with the user’s security privileges, to display navigation options within the IPPRS. If a user’s security privileges do not provide read access to an area in the IPPRS, then that navigation option will not be visible for that user. The default landing window / dashboard displays when logged into the IPPRS.

1. Web Application Nav Bar (header): contains various functions including apps, Work areas and modules, search and settings.
2. Body: the details that follow the header may include dashboards and list views.

 The default landing page may differ, dependent on the app opened and the user’s settings.

Web Application Nav Bar (Header)

The web application nav bar contains the following features:

1. Apps menu: drop down list displaying the Home button and access to other applications / environments within Dynamics 365.
2. Work Area menu: drop-down list displaying the available tiles (work areas) within the app.

 various modules display, dependent on the security role of the currently logged in user.

3. Search: Activates the search function.

 This is the default dynamics 365 search that can be used for searching standard Dynamics 365 entities such as Organisations, Contacts and Users. The search does not locate specific tables and data used within the IPPRS and should not be used by general users.

3. Recently viewed items: displays the Recent Views and Recent Records accessed for all module areas.
4. New: Add new Activities and Records.

 Adding activities and records is an administration function and should not be used by general users.

6. Advanced Find: Activates the advance find function within the app.
7. Settings: opens a submenu that includes Options, Apps for Dynamics 365, See Welcome Screen, About, and Privacy Statement.
8. Online Help: opens a sidebar with links to online help.
9. User: click to sign out of the app.
