Screen Layout & Navigation
Most Streamlyne Research screens have design constants such as a header, body, and footer. The header displays the Streamlyne Research logo on the left, menu tabs in the center, and a feedback e-mail link on the top, right.
A horizontal toolbar separates the header from the body with workflow action buttons on the left, a display of your user name, and a login tool that allows for impersonation of other user roles (used for system diagnosis and training demonstration).
While the header and footer remain static, the body area is dynamic depending on which piece of functionality has been selected. When e-docs accessed from a menu screen and are currently displayed, the body contains e-doc page and e-doc section tabs. Lastly, the footer displays copyright information and the small “k” logo.
The following topics briefly describe the purpose and function of each of the major screen elements in Streamlyne Research:
Horizontally laid out across the top of any Streamlyne Research screen (header area, to the right of the Streamlyne Research logo) are tabs that have the look of file folder tabs.
The Streamlyne Research user interface is organized at the highest level by five menus that appear as having the look of file folder tabs at the top center of the screen (header area, to the right of the Streamlyne Research logo) – Researcher, Unit, Central Admin, Maintenance and System Admin. They are laid out horizontally across the top of any system screen.
The menu that is currently displayed is highlighted in red background with white letters, while the hidden menu tabs have black label text and tan backgrounds.
When you hover your mouse cursor over a hidden screen tab, you will see that your arrow icon is changed to a pointing hand, the label text becomes underlined, and tip text pops up to indicate that you are able to click to select and display the menu.
Menus
Menus contain Groups.
Groups
Groups are boxes that contain lists of functionality that can be accessed via icons or links. The boxes have red heading text and occasionally black, bolded subheading sections that group functionally-related features.
Group Icons
Lists of e-docs displayed in Groups contain icons for creating new and searching for existing document.
Group Links
Some Groups display bullet lists of underlined text that function as links to other areas of Streamlyne Research (usually to either e-docs or lookup screens). Clicking an underlined link causes a new screen to appear (which dynamically changes the body portion of the web screen).
