Browser Navigation Warning

Whether attempting to navigate from screen to screen, menu to menu, or page to page, it is strongly recommended that you never use your Web browser’s navigation tools (for example, the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons).   The tools on the horizontal toolbar near the top of the Web browser you use to access and use the KC software application with are not intended to be used for navigation (or for any other function) within the KC screens and pages.  KC is designed for compatibility with most popular browsers, but is not designed to use their functionality for anything other than viewing the display of the user interface. 

Figure 28 Just Say No To Using Browser Buttons

	Clicking one of your Web browser’s navigation buttons (for example, the [←Back] button to go to a previous screen or page) while using KC could possibly result in: •      Loss of entry/selection work •      System-generated error messages •      Automatic refresh •      Disabled functionality •      A need to delete a document lock •      Loss of a document lock
	If you do click Back by accident, it might not have a negative impact at all.  However, it is recommended that you log out completely, close your Web browser, and open a new browser window to log in again, rather than simply reloading the page with a KC action button or browser refresh button, both of which may not be reliable mitigating options.

Default Start Menu

Figure 29 Startup screen tab in forefront along menu

After successful authentication and login, the screen that is actively displayed by default has its menu tab appear with white text against a red background.  This may also be referred to as the “main menu”, “dashboard” or “portal”, but it is the screen that is displayed after you log in, and theoretically, the one that you will use the most based on your typical job duties as they relate to use of KC.

The initial screen default may be different depending on your implementation and role.  For example, if you primarily work with maintenance documents and/or system administration, your Administrator system role might dictate that the Administration menu is displayed by default after successful login instead of Main.
