3. When you first open this application you will be taken to your designated start activity or the last activity you were using when you logged out. Use the menu at the top to jump between applications you are authorized to access

Only menus which you are authorized to access will appear so your application may not include all the options shown below. Contact your manager if you need access to one of the menus below which is not appearing for your role.

4. To sign out of the application click on the "Preferences" or gear button in the toolbar at the top-right of the screen and select "Sign Out" from the menu. Signing out this way preserves your work and releases any data locks allowing other people to immediately access documents you were editing.

You can also sign-out by simply closing the browser tab you were working on, taking care to save your work first. Locks may not be released immediately if you close the browser tab or hibernate your company - causing people to call you up and ask you to release something.
