This article contains the following sections:
Note: the tabs and sections available to each end user are determined by the community's system administrator. Each section seen in the screenshot above may not be available to all end users. If you think you are missing a section necessary for your workflow, please reach out to your system administrator or agency contact.
Navigation
The new Clarity interface is loaded with navigation tools, providing users with one-click access to their next task.
Information Bar
The Information Bar is always visible in the new Clarity interface and contains icons for Dark Mode, a Global Search, Switching Interfaces, and the current Staff Member. The Information Bar also shows Breadcrumbs (if any), the User’s Name, the Agency they are currently switched into, and a drop-down arrow.
Dark Mode
Users can switch to dark mode in the new Clarity interface by clicking the Moon icon. More details about dark mode are included in the Customization section of this article.
Global Search
An additional client search option is available by clicking on the search icon in the Information Bar.
This client search option is available throughout the new Clarity interface. When you click the search icon, a window opens that functions like the Client Search page, with recently accessed clients, filter options, a column selector, and an Add icon (to add a new client).
Switch Interface Icon
An important navigation tool in the new Clarity interface is the ability to switch between the current and the new interface. Click on the pop-out icon in the Information Bar to switch the interface.
Click on the same icon in the current interface to switch back.
Current Staff Member
The Information Bar displays an icon with the current user’s initials or custom image. To the right of this icon is the current user’s name, the agency they are currently switched into, and a drop-down icon.
Clicking any of these items or anywhere in this area opens a page where the user can either Switch Agencies or update their Staff Member Account Settings.
For more information about switching agencies, please refer to the Switching Agencies article. For more information about updating account settings, please refer to the Staff Member Account Settings article.
Breadcrumbs
Users can easily see their location by reviewing their "breadcrumbs" in the Information Bar at the top left of their screen.
As the user navigates the new Clarity interface, the system leaves a “breadcrumb” trail showing their location. Users can click a breadcrumb to move to that location, or click the action menu to access more breadcrumbs.
Primary Navigation Menu
The primary navigation menu on the left side of the screen is always visible, so you can easily move from one tab to another. You can collapse the tabs with the double arrow at the bottom of the list of tabs, but continue to move from one tab to another by clicking on the tab icons.
Currently, the Clients and Referrals tabs are available in the new Clarity interface. Clicking on any other tab will redirect the user to the current interface.
The information displayed in the center of the client record depends on which tab you select in the primary navigation menu.
Clients Tab
To access the Clients Search page from anywhere in the system, click Clients in the primary navigation menu.
Records you recently viewed will appear below the search bar. The system retains this list after you log out and will display it when you log back in and view the Clients Search screen. You can click a client name in the recently accessed section to view the associated client record.
For more information on searching for clients, please refer to the How Do I Search for a Client? article.
Referrals
To access the Global Referrals Tab from anywhere in the system, click Referrals in the primary navigation menu.
The Referrals tab has a secondary navigation menu and defaults to Incoming Referrals.
For more information on the Global Referral Tab, please refer to The Global Referrals Tab Overview article.
Search (Default Home Screen)
Staff members search for and create new client records from the Clients Search page. The Clients Search page can be set as the default "home" screen in an agency's settings, or if the agency is using a different default home screen, individual staff members can select "Client Search" for the Home Screen Override field in their Account Settings.
To access the Clients Search page from anywhere in the system, click the Clients icon in the primary navigation menu.
For more information about using the Clients search page, please refer to the How do I Search for a Client? article.
