The side panel (1)

The side panel (or the “section panel”) is located in the left part of the screen and is used to navigate through the workplaces and sections. Also, the side panel contains buttons for quick access to the basic system operations.

The side panel buttons

btn_com_main_menu.png– the “Home” button contains a list of additional commands:

  • [Main menu] – opens the home page. The home page contains the list of all sections of the application, and the links to the system designer and the user profile pages.

  • [Run process] – opens the process start window.

Note

Detailed descriptions of the business process automation is available in the Creatio business process documentation.

  • [Collapse section panel]/[Expand section panel] – manage the status of the side panel.

  • [Workplace] – the list of available workplaces. When you change a workplace, the list of available sections in the side panel will change too. You can edit the list of workplaces and sections. Read more >>>

If no process has been set up for this button, clicking it opens a window containing the list of all business processes available in Creatio. If there is at least one process set up for this button, clicking it opens a menu containing additional commands:
