Navigation Basics

7 min readUpdated

If you are new to Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, this guide will help you move around with confidence. It explains how to use the main menu, open pages and records, follow breadcrumbs, and use search tools to find what you need faster.

Understand the Two Main Areas

Sherkety ERP & Website Platform has two connected areas:

  • Public website for visitors who want to explore services, ERP modules, pricing, FAQs, and contact options
  • Admin area for authorized users who manage content, services, pricing, settings, and users

Your navigation experience depends on which area you are using.

On the public website

You will usually move through:

  • The top header
  • The main navigation menu
  • Service and ERP links
  • Buttons such as Request Demo, Start Trial, or Contact Us
  • The footer for extra links

For a full introduction, see Browsing the Sherkety Public Website and Using Header Menus and Footer Links.

In the admin area

Authorized users usually move through:

  • The dashboard
  • The side or top navigation
  • Page lists and management screens
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Search and quick-find tools

Start with the Main Menu

The main menu is the easiest place to begin.

Use the website header

On the public side of Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the header helps you jump to key areas such as:

  • Business services
  • Company registration information
  • Accounting services
  • ERP modules
  • Contact pages
  • Trial or demo actions

The logo usually returns you to the homepage, which is helpful if you want to restart your journey from the main page.

Use the mobile menu when needed

On smaller screens, the main links may appear inside a mobile menu. Open it to see the same main destinations in a more compact layout.

This is useful when you are browsing on a phone or tablet and want quick access to:

  • Services
  • ERP pages
  • Contact links
  • Legal and support pages

Move Between Common Public Website Pages

As a first-time visitor, you will often follow a simple path from the homepage to a detail page.

Common paths from the homepage

Some typical navigation paths include:

  • Homepage > Services menu > Accounting Services page
  • Homepage > Services menu > Company registration content
  • Homepage > ERP menu > HR module page
  • Homepage > ERP menu > Inventory module page
  • Homepage > ERP menu > Sales & CRM module page
  • Homepage > ERP menu > Reporting & Analytics module page
  • Homepage > Footer > FAQ or policy pages
  • Homepage > Contact action > contact form or direct contact options

These paths help you move from broad information to more specific details.

Use Page Links to Open Details

Many pages in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform lead to more detailed content.

Open service details

From service sections, menus, or comparison areas, select the service name, card, or action button to open the full page.

Examples include:

  • Accounting services
  • Startup package information
  • Company type guidance
  • Website and ERP package details

Open ERP module details

From ERP sections or the ERP apps catalog, select a module to open its dedicated page.

Examples include:

  • HR
  • Inventory
  • Sales & CRM
  • Reporting & Analytics

This is the normal way to move from overview pages into detailed product pages.

Understand Records and Item Lists in the Admin Area

In the admin area, you will often see lists of items. These items may include:

  • Services
  • Users
  • Pricing tiers
  • SEO entries
  • Website content sections
  • Settings

Think of each row or item as a single saved entry you can open and review.

Open a record from a list

A common path looks like this:

  • Dashboard > Services
  • Dashboard > Users
  • Dashboard > Pricing
  • Dashboard > SEO
  • Dashboard > Site Settings

Once you open a section, select an item from the list to view or update it.

For example:

  • Dashboard > Services > choose a service
  • Dashboard > Users > choose a user
  • Dashboard > Pricing > choose a pricing tier

This is the basic pattern for moving through admin pages.

Return to the list after viewing an item

After reviewing one item, use one of these methods to go back:

  • The browser back button
  • The section link in the navigation
  • The breadcrumb trail at the top of the page

Breadcrumbs are usually the easiest way to step back without losing your place.

Use Breadcrumbs to Know Where You Are

Breadcrumbs show your current location and the path you used to get there.

A breadcrumb trail may look like this:

  • Home > Services > Accounting
  • Dashboard > Services > Edit Service
  • Dashboard > Users > User Details

This helps you answer two important questions:

  • Where am I now?
  • How do I go back one level?

If you are deep inside a page and want to return to the previous section, select the earlier breadcrumb item.

For a full explanation, see Understanding Breadcrumbs and Page Location.

Use Search to Find Pages Faster

Sherkety ERP & Website Platform may include search tools that help you skip manual browsing.

Website search and discovery

On the public side, people often find content by:

  • Using menu categories
  • Opening ERP catalogs
  • Following page links
  • Moving through grouped footer links

If you are comparing services or modules, start with the nearest overview page and then open the detail page you want.

Quick search in the admin area

Authorized users may also have access to a quick search or command search tool. This is useful when you already know what you want to open and do not want to click through several pages.

Use it to quickly find:

  • A management page
  • A content area
  • A settings page
  • A user or service section

If search results appear, select the matching item to open it directly.

Use the Dashboard as Your Admin Starting Point

If you are signed in, the dashboard is usually the best place to begin.

From there, you can move to the main management areas, such as:

  • Content management
  • Services
  • Pricing
  • SEO
  • Site settings
  • User management

A simple navigation habit is:

  1. Start at the dashboard
  2. Open the area you need
  3. Select the item you want to review
  4. Use breadcrumbs or navigation to return

This keeps your movement simple and predictable.

Not every page is in the main header. Some pages are easier to find in the footer.

Footer links often help you reach:

  • FAQ pages
  • Privacy policy
  • Terms
  • Company details
  • Social links
  • Contact information

If you cannot find a page in the header, check the footer next.
