Screen Structure and Menu Options

Most UIR screens use the following structure:

• Basic navigation. This area, at the top of the user interface, includes Home (i.e., the user’s “home” page, which lists the active requests associated with the user), the user’s name and login ID, and Logout.
• Menu. This area includes the menu options available to the user, which may vary depending on the user’s account privilege level.
• Main information area. The content displayed depends on the menu option the user selects.
