The platform is available at https://shoteco2.pams.net. Its interface is organised into persistent navigation and page-specific working areas so that you can move between business activities while retaining access to the main application structure.

## Screen Anatomy

The interface has three main regions:

| Region | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Navigation sidebar | Provides access to the available business areas and helps you move between dashboards, sales activities, procurement work, warehouse activities, projects, and financial tasks. |
| Header | Displays the current page context and page-level controls. |
| Working area | Displays the content for the selected page, such as dashboard information, settings, lists, or individual records. |

### Dashboard

The Dashboard provides an overview of operational information and shortcuts to the available dashboard content.

### Dashboard Settings

Dashboard Settings is used to view and maintain the configuration available for dashboard content.

## Dashboard Controls

The following controls are available on the Dashboard and Dashboard Settings screens:

- **Search box** filters the displayed content by the text you enter.
- **Select** lets you choose an available option or value.
- **edit** opens the applicable dashboard setting for modification.
- **Tickets** opens ticket-related information from the Dashboard.

## List Screens and Record Screens

The working area changes according to the type of page you open.

| Screen type | Purpose | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| List screen | Shows multiple items in one view. | Use the list to review available items, search for a specific item, and select the item you need to work with. |
| Record screen | Shows the details of one selected item. | Use the record screen to review the item’s information and, where available, use **edit** to modify it. |

For example, a list screen may show several dashboard settings or ticket-related items, while a record screen displays the information for one selected setting or item.
