Introduction
Welcome to our guide on Empress. This guide will introduce you to the Home Screen and Module Page, two standout features that make navigating Empress a breeze. These features are designed with business users in mind, offering a user-friendly interface and practical functionalities that aid in everyday business operations.
The Home Screen
When you log into Empress, the first thing you’ll see is the Home Screen. Here, you’ll find an array of cards, each representing a different Module or Domain available within the system. These cards replace the Module icons of prior versions and are categorized into four distinct groups:
-
Modules: This category is a collection of domain-agnostic modules like Human Resources, CRM, Buying, and Selling. They are applicable to all business types.
-
Domains: These are domain-specific modules such as Education and Manufacturing, designed to cater to the unique demands of different industries.
-
Places: A collection of features that are not industry-specific. You’ll find features like Website, Dashboards, and Marketplace here.
-
Administration: This category is home to modules connected to your Empress setup and administration.
What makes these cards user-friendly is the drop-down menu embedded in each card. This menu is customizable, allowing you to add or remove links to various DocTypes associated with that module. Plus, you can reorder the cards and choose which ones to display or hide for a personalized interface.
Module Page
When you click on a module card, it transports you to the module page. This page provides a comprehensive view of all the DocTypes, reports, and settings tied to a specific module.
How to Navigate the Module Page
Here’s how to make the most of the Module Page:
-
If a link appears grey, it requires a dependent document to be created first. These links won’t open a new page - instead, hovering over these links displays a pop-up guiding you to the dependent document.
-
Some links have color-coded indicators. These indicators are designed to draw your attention to open or urgent documents:
- A red indicator signifies open or overdue tasks.
- A blue indicator signals that there are no open tasks.
- An orange indicator suggests that the report hasn’t been accessed, or no document has been created in the corresponding doctype.
All these features, from the Home Screen cards to the color-coded indicators, are designed to enhance your experience with the Empress system.
In conclusion, Empress is all about user-friendliness and efficiency. The Home Screen and Module Page are key features aimed at streamlining your business operations. For further support, refer to additional non-technical resources or reach out to our support team. Happy navigating!
