Move Between Major App Areas

Use the sidebar, section groups, quick links, and collapse control to move through the main SPRK pages.

Purpose

Use this workflow when you want to understand how the app is organized and how to move from one major page to another.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to SPRK.
  • A company is active in the sidebar.

Steps

  1. Use the left sidebar as the main navigation control.
  2. Read the app in its current top-level groups:
  • General
  • Accounting
  • System
  1. Select any page label in the expanded sidebar to open that area in the main panel.
  2. If you want a narrower sidebar, use the collapse button at the top of the sidebar.
  3. In collapsed mode, use the icon-only sidebar and hover or recognize the icons before selecting a destination.
  4. If you are on the dashboard, use Quick Links for fast access to the linked pages that are currently exposed there.
  5. When you need settings-style system work, use the System section rather than looking for a separate top navigation bar.

Expected Result

You can move reliably between the app’s major work areas and understand whether you are navigating by full labels, icons, or dashboard quick links.

Common Mistakes

  • Looking for page tabs across the top of the app. Most page changes happen from the sidebar.
  • Forgetting that the sidebar can be collapsed, which makes labels disappear and leaves icon-only navigation.
  • Expecting the dashboard quick links to cover every page. They are shortcuts, not a full menu.
  • Searching for a Settings sidebar item. System pages are exposed as specific destinations like Companies, License, Support, and Preferences.

Info

  • App sections: dashboard, reports, invoices, banking, customers, reconcile, vendors, bills, rules, ledger, checks, chart, checklists, companies, license, support, preferences
