The top bar

What every button across the top of the screen does — search, + New, the phone, weather, customers online, Ed, the bell and the menu under your name.

The top bar sits across the top of every office screen. Everything in it opens a small panel that grows out of the button you pressed; press outside the panel or Esc to close it.

The top bar: search (1), + New (2), the bell (3) and your name (4)

From left to right

  • Your logo and company name. Press the logo to go back to the dashboard. If your company has more than one branch, the name is a button with a ▾ — see Work in another branch.
  • Search. The long box: "Search by name, email, phone, order or invoice number". Press it, or press / anywhere you're not typing. See Find anything with search.
  • New. Opens Start something new with four tiles: New Order, New Lead, New Account and New Task. With more than one branch, pick the Branch first.
  • Email connection problem. A red envelope appears only when a mailbox can't send. Press it to see whose mailbox it is (the company or branch is named) and press the button under it to go and fix it.
  • Phone. A keypad and your recent calls, when your company's phone line is connected. Calls go through your office line right in the browser.
  • Weather. The forecast for your branch. Press it for the Local Forecast.
  • Customers online. How many customers have their portal open right now. Press it to see who, and open their order or messages. You only see it with the permission to see customers online. See Customers online.
  • Update ready. Appears when a new version of MoveBoard is out and you closed the blue bar above the top bar with ×. See "MoveBoard has been updated".
  • ? — the help article for the screen you're on, in a side panel.
  • Ed — your assistant. Press ⌘J (Mac) or Ctrl+J (Windows). See Shortcuts.
  • The bell — your notifications, with the number of new ones. A crossed-out bell means you muted them. See Notifications.
  • Your name — and, on wide screens, your role.
