The sidebar and the top bar

Where everything lives: the module list down the left, and search, the + New menu, branches, help, notifications and your profile along the top.

Every screen has the same frame. Once you know the frame, you know where to look.

The frame

The dashboard with the sidebar on the left and the top bar above

The sidebar

The sidebar lists your modules: Dashboard, Calendar, Checkout, Billing & POS, Services, Products, Inventory, Suppliers, Purchase Orders, Team, Expenses, Customers, Memberships, Gift Vouchers, Loyalty, Reports, AI Insights, AI Assistant, Permissions, Roles, Audit Logs and Settings.

  • You only see the modules your role can open. A stylist's sidebar is much shorter than the owner's, and shows Leave and My Salary instead of Team.
  • The Current Workspace card at the top names the business you are signed in to.
  • Collapse at the bottom shrinks the sidebar to icons. Press ⌘B on a Mac or Ctrl B on Windows to do the same from the keyboard.
  • Press g and then a letter to jump straight to a module, for example g c for the calendar. The full list is under Keyboard shortcuts.

The top bar

From left to right:

ControlWhat it does
Search boxFinds customers, invoices, services, products and more. See Search everything.

AI assistantOpens the assistant.
HelpKeyboard shortcuts and the guided tours. F1 does the same.
BellYour notifications. See Notifications and the bell.
Your nameMy Account, Language, Contact support and Logout.

On a phone or a narrow window the sidebar folds away behind the menu button at the top left, and the top bar keeps only the essentials.

In the app

The app has five tabs along the bottom and puts everything else behind More.

The Home tab with the branch card, the dashboard widgets and the tab bar
