These functional areas are described in separate chapters of the manual. The year switcher is used to select the plan year you want to view/edit.
To the right of this is the Wizard button (magic wand) and the name of the currently called program area.
On the far right of the bar you will find the language selection, the info menu and the logout button.
Navigation bar functions:
The Magic Wand opens the Wizard, for learning and repeating short videos on all basic operating functions of the program. The button shows a number in a red circle until each step is completed.
Clicking the button opens the wizard window. Your progress is displayed at the top, each completed step results in a green leaf. The steps can be done in any order and repeated at any time. “Optional” steps are not relevant for all types of farms and maybe can be skipped. New starters are recommended to go through all steps from top to bottom.
To perform a step, click on it and read the short description. If a video is displayed (not for steps 1 and 2), click on it to start. If there are still questions after the video, click on “user manual” – the link will directly show the appropriate chapter when the manual is opened in a browser-window. According to the respective step in the wizard the program sections will be changed as well.
Click on “Perform now” in the upper right corner to just perform the shown step yourself.
Open the wizard again at the top of the bar and select the next step, to continue.
