Homepage

The Docwize homepage enables you to access different modules within the software. It is the first screen you see after signing in, and the place to start your day-to-day work. Depending on your security settings, some of the modules may not be visible.

What you can do from the homepage​

  • Open the main Docwize modules from their tiles
  • Return to the homepage from anywhere with Home
  • Launch day-to-day work from a central starting point

The sidebar on the left of the screen is available on every page, not just the homepage. It is described in Getting Around Docwize.

Docwize modules​

Each tile on the homepage opens one module. Select a tile to open the module in the main part of the screen; the sidebar stays on the left so you can move to another module, or select Home to come back to the homepage.
