The area sidebar and apps

Every area has a left-rail sidebar listing every app. Here's what each link does.

When you're inside an area, a wide left-rail sidebar (the GroupMenu) replaces the realm-level menu. On mobile and tablet it's a slide-over — tap Menu in the breadcrumb to open it.

  • Dashboard — quick information and overview for this area.

  • About — versioned profile sections about the supported person.

  • Daily diary — running record of the day.

  • Reminders — tasks with optional alerts.

  • Contacts — GP, family, professionals.

  • Inbox (when messaging is enabled) — the area-channel.

  • Policies — realm-wide policies, surfaced in-context.

  • Files — document store.

  • Forms — templates, queued submissions, history.

  • Medication stock control — receive, dispose, count.

  • E-MARs — medication administration records.

  • Money tin tracker — petty-cash ledger.

  • Activity logs — audit trail.

  • Workflowsarea-scoped automations (admin/moderator).

  • Calendar — unified dated view.

  • Settings — visible only to area moderators + realm admins.

Note — Files is only accessible from the sidebar — there is no Files widget on the dashboard, and no quick-link unless an admin has promoted it. New starters typically need a tip on where Files lives.

Header area

At the top of the sidebar, the area's avatar + name + subtitle is clickable — opens the global Quick search so you can jump to a different area without going back to the dashboard.

Mobile / tablet

On screens below xl, the sidebar collapses. Tap the Menu button (ellipsis-circle icon) at the top of the breadcrumb to open the slide-over.
