All InfoReady users see the Global Navigation Bar, even before they log into the platform. This bar runs across the top of the screen, horizontally. Once logged in, everyone will have the same four default tabs: Home, Applications, Progress Reports and Calendar. However, additional tabs may also be visible, depending on the user’s role.
Note: Individuals do not have to have different InfoReady accounts for their separate user roles. The Global Navigation Bar provides a way for users to navigate to different tabs, as needed, to access information and to accomplish various tasks. For example, a Reviewer can access their review assignments (Reviews Tab) as well as their own applications (Applications tab) from this bar.
The images below represent different tab options, based on role.
Admin View
Applicant View
Reviewer View
The following table explains each tab’s purpose and which user role(s) have access to that tab.
- Tabs are listed in the table in the order they appear on the Global Navigation Bar, left to right.
- If a tab is not viewable when you log in, that tab is not applicable to your role.
- Click on the title of the tab within the table (when applicable) to be taken to a Support article that provides a detailed overview of that tab, including screenshots.
- It is possible certain tab titles may differ on your site if your site customized their terms.
