* The '''Logo Path''' provides for a web address to the logo that should be displayed in the interface.
* The '''Title Text''' can be displayed in place of a logo. This title text is also used for the name of the interface.

==Navigation Terminology and Interface Tabs==

The interface supports up to five tabs. Each is used for a specific purpose.

* '''Tab 1''' – the home page for the [[User|user]] and the first page they will see when they log in. This page can be populated with any content useful to all [[User|users]].
* '''Tab 2''' – this tab provides access to the [[User|user’s]] profile; standard and [[Custom Fields|custom fields]] (provided they have the correct [[Role|role]] permission to see these fields) and [[Personal Transaction|personal transactions]] (provided you have included transaction types in the interface).
* '''Tab 3''' – provides access to other people in the system with searching capabilities to find people.
* '''Tab 4''' – provides a link to any [[Universal Tracking Application]] that has been linked to the interface.
* '''Tab 5''' – this tab will display a [[Menu|menu]] of all the items that would normally have been shown in a [[Portal|portal]] view associated with the [[User|user]] [[Role|role]].

If you don’t need to use the functionality of a specific tab you can set the tab name to blank.

You can re-label any type by changing the current title.

==My Profile Sub Navigation Terminology==

[[Image:Ciu5.png]]

'''Tab 2''', '''My Profile''' displays three additional tabs. The captions of these tabs are displayed in the '''My Profile Sub navigation''' section.

* '''Sub Tab 1''' – provides the link to the [[User|user’s]] basic profile information including any [[Custom Fields|custom fields]] associated with their [[Role|role]].
* '''Sub Tab 2''' – provides a link to a '''change password''' page.
* '''Sub Tab 3''' – provides a link to [[Personal Transaction|personal transactions]], provided you have included transaction types in the interface.

==People Sub Navigation Terminology==

[[Image:Ciu6.png]]

* '''Tab 3''', '''People''' displays one additional tab – '''Sub Tab 1'''. This tab provides the [[User|user]] with a list or groups of [[User|users]] that they may wish to collaborate or network with.
* A [[User|user]] can only search for other [[User|users]] in groups that they themselves have subscribed to.

1. Click the '''Is activated''' check box.
