Using Mobile and Desktop Menus on the Public Site

Finding Your Way Around the Public Site Header

At the top of public pages in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the main navigation starts in the header. This is the area that stays focused on moving you between major website sections such as service pages, ERP pages, company information, and contact destinations. The brand name or logo in this header also works as a quick way back to the homepage, which is useful when you want to restart from the main public entry point.

On wider screens, the header usually shows the main navigation links directly across the top bar. You can scan the visible options and move straight to another public page without opening anything first. Some items act as direct links, while others are grouped menu labels that open more choices underneath them. These grouped items are especially common when several related pages belong together, such as service-related destinations or ERP app pages.

On smaller screens, the same navigation takes up less space. Instead of showing every option across the top, Sherkety ERP & Website Platform places the menu behind a mobile menu button in the header. After you open it, the links appear in a stacked list that is easier to use on a phone. Grouped items may open as expandable sections so you can reveal child links only when you need them.

This means the menu can look different depending on your screen width, even though it leads to the same public content. If you recently read Understanding Navigation Paths Across Public Pages, think of the header as the fastest way to jump into those paths from anywhere on the site.

Browsing Main Navigation on Desktop

When you browse Sherkety ERP & Website Platform on a desktop or a wide laptop screen, start with the top header before scrolling through page sections. The desktop header is designed for quick movement between public pages because the top-level navigation links are already visible. You can select a visible link to go directly to that page without opening a side panel or full-screen menu.

Use this approach when you already know the type of page you want. For example, if you want to review business services, compare ERP modules, explore company registration guidance, or move to a contact page, the desktop header is usually the shortest route. Instead of using the browser’s Back button several times, you can jump straight to another section from the same top bar.

Some header items are not final destinations by themselves. They act as parent items that reveal more links. When you point to or select one of these grouped labels, a dropdown menu appears with related child pages. This helps you tell the difference between:

• Direct links that open a page immediately
• Grouped links that first reveal a list of related pages

If a menu opens more choices, read the submenu labels before selecting one. Those labels are there to help you choose the exact destination instead of landing on a broader page and then searching again.

Desktop navigation is especially helpful when comparing multiple offerings side by side in your browsing session. You can move from one public section to another by reusing the header each time, which is often faster and clearer than depending only on page links inside the content.

Opening and Using the Mobile Menu

On phones and narrower tablets, the public navigation in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform is condensed to save space. Instead of a full row of links across the top, you will usually see a mobile menu button in the header. Tap that button to open the main navigation.

Once the menu opens, the links appear in a vertical list rather than a horizontal desktop bar. This stacked layout makes it easier to browse with your thumb and read each section name clearly. If you are trying to move quickly to another part of the site, open this menu first instead of scrolling through the current page looking for links in the body or footer.

Some items in the mobile menu lead straight to a page as soon as you tap them. Others are grouped sections that need one more tap to expand. When a section contains several related destinations, expand the parent item to reveal the nested links underneath it. Then choose the exact page you want, such as a service page, an ERP app page, or a company information page.

A simple mobile workflow looks like this:

1. Tap the menu icon in the header.
2. Review the stacked list of main navigation items.
3. Tap a grouped section if you need to reveal more links.
4. Tap the final page name you want to open.
5. Close the menu if it stays open after navigation, so you can read the page comfortably.

If the menu covers much of the screen, that is normal on smaller devices. After you choose a destination, close the panel if needed to return your full reading space.

Using Grouped Links to Reach the Right Page Faster

Grouped links help organize the public website in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform without crowding the header with too many top-level choices. Instead of listing every page across the top, the site places related destinations under a shared parent label. This keeps navigation cleaner and helps you narrow down your choices before opening a final page.

You will notice this most often when pages belong to the same topic area. A grouped menu may collect service-focused pages, ERP-related pages, or company guidance pages in one place. This is useful because visitors often arrive with different goals. Some people want to explore accounting or company registration services. Others want to review ERP modules such as HR, Sales & CRM, Purchasing, Reporting, or Accounting. Grouped links let each visitor move toward the right category first.

When using these menus, pay attention to whether you are selecting a category or a final destination:

• A parent group opens a submenu or expandable list
• A child link opens the page you actually want to read

That distinction matters because tapping the parent item may not take you away from the current page right away. Its job is to reveal more choices. Once the submenu is visible, read the labels and choose the page that matches your goal.

Grouped links are especially helpful on mobile because they reduce scrolling. Instead of a long list of every public page, you open only the category you need. This makes it easier to move quickly between product information, service details, and company pages without losing your place.

If you are deciding between several related pages, grouped menus are usually faster than searching through homepage sections one by one.

Choosing the Best Navigation Approach for Your Screen Size

The easiest way to move around Sherkety ERP & Website Platform depends on the size of your screen. On desktop, begin with the full header because the top-level links and grouped menus are visible right away. You can scan the available choices in seconds and decide whether you need a direct page link or a dropdown menu with more detailed options.

Desktop browsing works best when you are comparing sections or moving frequently between public pages. For example, if you are reviewing services, then checking ERP modules, then returning to company information, the visible header saves time. You do not need to open and close a separate panel each time.

On mobile, use a different habit. Open the menu as soon as you know you want to jump to another section. This is usually faster than scrolling through the current page to find a footer link or an in-page button. The mobile menu is the main shortcut for switching between major parts of the public site.

A good rule of thumb is:

• Desktop: scan the visible header first
• Mobile: open the menu first
• Both: use grouped sections to narrow your options before choosing a page

This becomes especially useful when you are comparing offerings, browsing service information, or exploring ERP app pages with several related destinations. If a page feels hard to find, stop tapping random content blocks and return to the header structure. The menu is designed to guide you by category, which is often more reliable than hunting through page sections.

Fixing Common Navigation Problems on Mobile and Desktop

If navigation feels confusing in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the issue is often related to screen size or the type of menu item you selected. A few quick checks usually help.

If you cannot see all the navigation links on desktop, your browser window may be narrow enough that the site has switched to the mobile-style layout. In that case, look for the mobile menu button in the header instead of expecting a full row of links. Expanding the browser window may bring the desktop header back.

If a grouped menu does not show the pages you expected, make sure you are selecting the parent item that controls the submenu. Some labels are meant to expand and reveal child links, while others are direct destinations. If you tap a direct link, the page opens immediately. If you need more choices, go back and select the grouped label instead.

When the mobile menu takes over too much of the screen, choose your destination and then close the menu so you can focus on the page content. This is especially helpful on long informational pages where reading space matters.

If you lose track of where you are after moving between several pages, use the logo or homepage link in the header to return to the main public starting point. From there, you can begin again with the top navigation and choose a clearer route.

Overview

Use the public header in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform as your main navigation tool, whether you are on a desktop screen or a phone. The same website sections are available on both, but they are presented differently to fit the available space. On desktop, the top navigation is usually visible across the header, making it easy to jump directly between public pages and open grouped dropdown menus. On mobile, those same links are collected behind the menu button and shown in a stacked, expandable layout.

The most important thing to remember is that not every menu label behaves the same way. Some labels open a page immediately, while others reveal a submenu with more specific destinations. Reading the menu labels before tapping helps you avoid unnecessary back-and-forth, especially when you are choosing between service pages, ERP app pages, and company information pages.

Keep these points in mind:

• The logo or brand link in the header takes you back to the homepage
• Desktop navigation shows top-level links directly in the header
• Mobile navigation hides those links behind the menu button
• Grouped links help organize related pages under one parent item
• The menu layout changes with screen width, but the main destinations stay consistent

If you want to move efficiently, treat the header as your primary route between sections instead of relying only on scrolling, content buttons, or the browser Back button. That habit becomes even more useful when you are comparing several offerings or moving between public information areas.

Prerequisites

You do not need an account or admin access to use the public menus in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. This navigation is available to regular website visitors on public pages. Before you start, make sure you are browsing the public website rather than the admin sign-in area.

It helps to have the following in place:

• A page from the public website open in your browser
• A device with either:
  • a desktop or laptop screen for the full header layout, or
  • a phone or narrow tablet screen for the mobile menu layout
• A basic idea of what you want to find, such as:
  • service information
  • ERP app pages
  • company type guidance
  • contact options

You will get the most value from this guide if you have already read:

• Using Header Menus and Footer Links
• Using Mobile and Desktop Navigation Patterns on the Public Site
• Understanding Navigation Paths Across Public Pages

Those documents explain the broader navigation structure, while this guide focuses specifically on how the menu changes between desktop and mobile layouts and how to use grouped links effectively.

If your screen size changes while browsing, such as when resizing a browser window or rotating a tablet, the header may switch between desktop and mobile behavior. That is expected. When that happens, simply look for either the visible top navigation or the mobile menu button and continue from there.
