User InterfaceBefore we progress to understanding the structure and functionality of ZGI CRM, we will cover theareas of the User Interface so that you are familiar with terminology used when describing navigatingZGI CRM.

ZGI CRM has a clear UI which has various elements we will cover in this section.Top navigation menuThe top navigation menu is the main menu users will use to navigate to modules to create and managerecords. The standard layout for the top navigation is a list of 10 modules. The ordering for this menuis determined by the order of the modules in Admin → Display Modules and Subpanels. The topnavigation menu has six elements. These are:• CRM Name – This is the name for the CRM which is specified on installation. This defaults to ZGI CRM.• Module Menu – This lists or groups the modules, dependent on the user preference. This provides the ability for users to navigate to modules within the CRM.• Desktop Notification Count – This shows the number of desktop notifications the user has not yet read. These can be managed by the user. For full details on Desktop Notifications, see the Desktop Notifications section within this user manual.• Quick Create – Quick create allows the quick creation of key module records globally within the CRM.• Global/Full Text Search – Allows users to search the CRM globally for records/data.• User menu – This displays the user name for the user currently logged in.
