How to navigate the ePO interface
Starting in ePO 4.5, navigation has been redesigned to make it faster and easier to find the functionality and features you need. The interface now uses a single menu for all of ePOs top-level features and a customizable navigation bar. Top-level features were previously displayed as tabs when selecting a section. For example, in ePO 4.0 when the Reporting section was selected, the top-level features displayed included:
Queries
Server Task Log
Notifications Log
Audit Log
Event Log
MyAvert
In version 4.5, all of these top-level features are accessed from the ePO Menu.The following table provides some examples of the change in navigation steps to arrive at a desired page.
