Favourites

The Favourites Toolbar sits at the top of the screen between the Menu bar and the Navigator icons.

It consists of up to 9 shortcut buttons, each of which opens the program featured on the button. It's purpose is to enable you to instantly access the programs that you use most frequently, without having to navigate the drop down menus.

The Favourites Toolbar can be customised differently on each PC. This can be handy when different computers are used for different functions. For example, the Payroll Officer may maintain the payroll on one PC and a Manager may run HR reports on another PC.

Customising the Favourites Toolbar

From the menu toolbar, select Favourites > Organise Favourites.

The Organise Favourites screen will be displayed.
