XMS features three main ways to navigate: the
Top Menu, the
Search Function, and
Bread Crumbs. These allow you to quickly move to the sections, students, registrations, etc. you need. Additionally, many screens in XMS offer direct links to other, associated areas. The
Search Function is more elaborately explained on
its own page.
EditThe Top Menu
The
Top Menu is located at the top of the screen and remains stationary. The
Home button will take you to the default page you'd normally see after logging into XMS. The
Registration, Payments, Deposits, and
Reports buttons all include a pull down sub menu. Hover your cursor over them to reveal their sub menus.
The
Administration button only appears for users with administrative permission. This is usually only one main person per department and perhaps a backup administrator.
XMS Admins, as they are called, have the ability to add, remove, and modify user accounts.
EditBread Crumbs
The top portion of most screens shows information indicating where you are within XMS. The type of record is displayed in orange CAPS on the right side.
The information along the left side, just below the main menu, shows more detail. It is known as "bread crumbs" because it shows the trail of how you got into this page from all the other pages, or how a particular page relates to other pages within the XMS hierarchy. You are able to click on any of the links to go directly to that record. Clicking on the student's name, for instance, will bring you to that student’s record.
