The app bar
The app bar is the strip across the top of every OpenTMS screen. It's your launchpad: from here you switch between modules, search, see what needs your attention, and manage your own account.
What's on the app bar
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| OpenTMS logo | Click to return to the Dashboard. |
| App menu | Opens the full grid of modules. See The app menu below. |
| Search | Quick search across the current module. |
| Notifications bell | Recent system notifications. See Notifications. |
| Chat icon | The in-app chat. A red badge shows unread messages. See Chat. |
| Language switcher | Change the interface language on the fly. |
| User menu | Your profile picture or initials. See Your user menu. |
| Tenant indicator | Shows your current tenant in the format Tenant\Username. |
If your account has been impersonated by an administrator (for support), a small red icon appears in the app bar. Click it to return to your own session.
The app menu
The app menu is the central launcher for all modules in OpenTMS. Open it by clicking the app menu icon in the app bar (a grid of dots).
The app menu groups apps into three sections:
| Section | Contains |
|---|---|
| Standard apps | The core OpenTMS modules: Dashboard, Planboard, Transport, Finance, Track & Trace and more. |
| FiLogic & Friends | Apps from FiLogic partners that have been enabled for your tenant. |
| Private apps | Custom apps built specifically for your organization. |
You can:
- Search for an app by name using the search bar at the top of the menu.
- Reorder apps by dragging them — the order is saved per user.
- See recently used apps highlighted at the top.
Click any tile to open that module. You can have multiple browser tabs open in different modules at the same time.
The module menu (sidebar)
Below the app bar on the left side of the screen sits the module menu — the list of pages for the module you are currently in. The module menu changes when you switch modules: in Planboard it shows planning items, in Transport it shows transport-related items, and so on.
- Click any item to open it.
- Items can be nested up to four levels deep — click a parent to expand it.
- Items you don't have permission for are hidden automatically.
- You can collapse the menu with the arrow at its top or bottom for more screen real estate.
The fastest way to get from one module to another is app menu → click tile. The module menu is for navigating within a module.
