User Interface Overview

The Costpoint user interface is designed to optimize navigation. Flyout menus that frame the Costpoint screen provide quick access to program areas and application functions. The following images display the key features of the user interface.

Navigation Menu

The left Navigation menu provides access to the general areas of Costpoint, including the Welcome screen, Home Dashboard (for Time & Expense), your customizable My Menu, open applications, and Costpoint domains and applications.

Note: Use the Configure System Settings screen to change the background color of the user interface per company/system. This is useful if you have multiple companies (or systems), and color recognition can help you differentiate one company/system from another. The background color can be changed only per company/system and not per user.

Welcome Screen

Quickly access learning assets, recently used, and My Menu applications on the Welcome Screen. This screen displays when you log in if Costpoint is not configured to open a specific application on the login screen.

Context Menu

The right-side Context menu provides access to global features that are always available, with options specific to the application in use.

Action Bar

When you open a Costpoint application, the Action Bar displays at the top of the screen, offering actions specific to the application in use. You can pin the bar to stay in place when scrolling down the application screen. The Save button color reflects the selected company color.
