Home Page

Upon launch, CCH Central presents a Home Page. This Home Page is your starting point each time you log in.

Home Page components

The Home Page comprises the:

• Main Menu
• Toolbar
• Task Bar
• Content area

These four components are standard across all the windows you use in CCH Central.

The Home Page can be customized to display and quickly access information that is appropriate to your use of the application.

1. To navigate away from the Home Page:

- make a selection on the Toolbar

  or

2. To scroll through open tabs not in view on the tab bar, use the scroll buttons on the top right of the content area.

   The Toolbox opens displaying a list of options per module, for example Job Summary under Accounts Production, drag the option on to the content area to display it.

3. When the Toolbox is displaying you can also resize, move or delete the individual display windows.

To resize and move the windows, click and drag in the same way you would do with other application in Microsoft Windows (expanding the sides and  bottom).

    To close a window click the cross button on the top right of the window.

. In the Edit Homepages window, change the name of the view to something more meaningful to you, for example: Accounts Production.

5. Tick or untick the Display boxes (second column on the screen above) for which views to display when you select the option 

  from toolbar Home, step 1. Click the arrow buttons to rearrange the view order,     except for the first view which is always the default view. Click Save.

1. Repeat Steps 1 to 5 for each view you want to customise.
2. Click Home on the toolbar, click

Note: what you see when you select an option in the Toolbox is limited to your security access permissions - you may only see blank windows if you only have limited access. The system administrator sets up the security access permissions. While the Toolbox is displayed you can also resize, move or delete the individual display windows.
