The Inova user interface is based on a tabular design, so similar items or objects are listed within tabs. On the homepage, object lists are also displayed in My tabs, which filter lists to those you own or have some responsibility in a related activity or task.
Homepage
On the homepage, you can click on any tab to display the corresponding list, but in most cases what you see is only a subset of the full list. To view a full list and display its action buttons, click the double-arrow "expand" icon it the top right corner of its tab.
Other components of the homepage:
- In Page Settings, you can change the tabs displayed on the screen.
- The default tabs on the homepage are My Activities and My Reviews. These tabs allow users to quickly access and update their key tasks and deadlines and to respond more efficiently if they receive multiple review requests.
Note: It's common for users to choose to include additional tabs on the homepage that pertain to their role, e.g. My Projects, My Agreements. - The navigation bar provides navigation throughout the whole application.
Page Settings
The homepage is configurable by user role, a.k.a. a Profile. Profiles are manged by your application administrator. With profiles, each role can have tabs displayed (or not) in specific configurations, e.g. with projects at the top of the homepage and contact groups at the bottom. In an overview screen of an object such as a project, the profile arranges and helps prioritize the basic components of the object, e.g. putting Authorization and linked Contacts at the top of the screen and Links or Status Logs at the bottom (or hiding them from view altogether).
Each individual user is assigned a profile. But they can further decide which tabs of that profile they want to display on the page for that screen or object.
