--- title: "About the Frameworks Home Dashboard" canonical: "https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/28379174/About%20the%20Frameworks%20Home%20Dashboard" format: markdown --- # Overview The Frameworks Home Dashboard appears when you log into Frameworks. This is where you will be able to access the **Frameworks Menu **and **Dashboards**, view **Company Information** and your **Notifications**. You can also customise and access your **Shortcuts** to quickly access the modules that are important to you. > 📝 This is only a guide. The Frameworks User Interface is highly configurable, therefore the information and screenshots contained within this page may not accurately reflect how the Frameworks Home Page and the navigation of it works within your own organisation's Frameworks system. # Accessing the Home Dashboard ![image-20261002-051935.png](media://663719d8-187d-45a7-903f-80af6d646fc5) To access the **Frameworks Home Page**, perform any the following options: 1. Click the **Home** icon in the top-center area of the screen. 2. Click the **Home** tab located beneath the Frameworks menu at the upper right corner of the screen. # Navigating the Home Dashboard The Standard Frameworks Home Dashboard layout is made up of 7 sections, namely: 1. **Frameworks Menu** 2. **Dashboard Icons** 3. **Company and User Details** 4. **Dashboard Message and Website** 5. **My Shortcuts** 6. **Notifications** ![image-20240913-031104.png](media://12fb4c6f-54f9-4b96-b1f5-1ccfdd40ec2d) # 1. Frameworks Menu 1. The **Frameworks Menu **icon (top left of screen) contains a slide-out menu to drill down and select the relevant menu option from the Frameworks navigation tree. > ℹ️ The **Framework Menu** icon is always available and can be clicked from anywhere you may be within Frameworks to load additional menu options. 2. The **Frameworks Navigation Tree** contains the menu options that you have been defined to use. > ℹ️ Expand or collapse the menu item to view the other options. ![image-20240913-031251.png](media://a176f08f-1d3d-4301-82a0-fe01797b21e2) ## Menu Search The **Menu Search** section of the navigation tree allows you to search for the Frameworks Menu options.  For example, if you want to search for all Supplier menus, simply type **Supplier** into the search box. Click **Refresh** to load the Frameworks Menu options. ![image-20261002-053337.png](media://67f9d0e4-5e52-4c80-be22-a7bd34995d41) > ⚠️ **Warning:** Bold items in the **Frameworks Menu** search results are menu headings, not screens. A heading with a > beside it expands when you click it to show the menu items it contains. A bold heading without a > can't be opened, and clicking it displays the error: "*Activity Launcher not defined for []. Please, click OK and return the menu and select the required menu item*". This error doesn't mean you lack access. Click **OK** and select a menu item in regular text instead. # 2. The Dashboard Icons The **Dashboard Icons **are displayed at the top, in the center of the screen, of Frameworks. Like the **Frameworks Menu,** these icons are always available for quick access to the important dashboards. ![image-20240913-032124.png](media://cb123cdd-4135-4e1f-983b-241e38cfeb43) The available **Dashboards** are: - The Home Dashboard - [Customer Dashboard ](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28378750) - [Product Dashboard ](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28379182) - [Supplier Dashboard ](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28397304) - [GL Dashboard ](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28397364) - [Reporting Category List](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28380010) - [Management Dashboard ](https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/476545025/Management+Dashboard) - [My Frameworks Home](https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/476381265/My+Frameworks+Dashboard) The number above the Home Dashboard icon reminds you that you have a notification(s) that requires your attention. # 3. Company and User Details This section contains details of the **logged in user**. It is important to understand that a login is directly associated with a single company, so all inquiries, maintenance, and transaction processing will occur to that company under the current login. Displayed here are: - The **Company Name **you are logged into. - The **Branch **you are logged into. - The **Device **that you are logged into. - The **Logged in User Name** and username is displayed. Clicking the down arrow, next to the username, opens a menu where you can:  - Check the **About** information for Frameworks. - **Change the Password/PIN** for the logged in user. - **Logout** of Frameworks. > ✅ Refer to [Operating Frameworks across multiple Companies ](https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/431259677/Operating+Frameworks+with+Multiple+Companies)if you have access to other companies within your group. # 4. Dashboard Message and Website  This section can display a **Company Message, **a **Webpage **or a **website**. A different message and webpage can be displayed for each company, if you are running multiple companies. ![image-20240913-035202.png](media://f300f6b2-d2c1-4018-84d1-e271044d419b) > ✅ Refer to [Home Dashboard Configuration ](https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/595789009/Home+Dashboard+Configuration)for more information. # 5.

Once added, you can simply click the hyperlink to open the module. > ✅ Refer to [Creating a shortcut menu on the home screen](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/fwksproau/pages/30530584) for further information. 2. This section also allows you to quickly change company you are working with, if you have accessed the more than one company within Frameworks. - Use the **Company **drop-down menu to select the company you require access to and click **Change** to access that companies' data. ![image-20240913-040433.png](media://875cdd5a-a577-478c-b9b2-056637405a48) # 6.

These include diary note notifications (user-generated), report notifications including errors (system-generated), and workflow activity notifications (system-generated). > ℹ️ Click **Refresh** to refresh your notifications. ![image-20240913-040639.png](media://7c1d8f4a-10ee-440d-bbd1-b3177374096e) > ✅ Refer to [About Notifications ](https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/431030275/About+Notifications)for further information.
