PartWhat it is
Left: the buttonsOne button for each screen or menu you may use. You see only the buttons of your role (see Who Can Use What), so your screen may have fewer buttons than a colleague's. The button you clicked last stays highlighted.
Top: the clientThe name of the client you are working on. Every list and form works on this client.
Middle: the screenThe screen of the button you clicked (Clerk, Clinician, Finance, ...). Each screen is a set of small windows (lists): Insurance, Episodes, Alerts, and so on.
Right: Active ClientsA short list of active clients. Click a name to make it the current client. The Click To Sort heading changes which clients are listed (see Choosing a Client).
