Within your instance, Sonar provides offers a collapsable navigational main menu which provides you with access to many of your most used areas.

When first logging into your instance, you will see the expanded version of the main menu. This version allows for you to view the menu item name and icon.

To collapse the menu, you can click on the Collapse Menu arrow at the top of the main menu. This version allows for you to maximize the space on your page with the information you need to view.

When the menu is collapsed, you can hover your mouse over the icons associated with each menu item to view the name of that item. If you click on an icon that has an arrow next to it, the submenu items for that section will open.

Now let's dive into the options that are provided within the main menu toolbar. You are provided with twelve main options to choose from the menu. Eight of those options also have submenus providing you with further options you can select from. Let's break them each down.

Not all options within the main menu will navigate you directly to a landing page. If it has a submenu, you will need to select the submenu item before you will be navigated away from your current page.
After selecting an option, it will remain highlighted within the menu to show your current selection.
