# Find your way around the NduMed screen

> A tour of the NduMed screen: the sidebar menu and its sections, the top bar with your name and role, the Help link, the dashboard and the home page.

Every NduMed page shares the same layout: a dark menu on the left, a top bar across the content, and the page itself. This page explains each part.

## The menu (sidebar)

The menu is grouped into sections you can expand and collapse. **Front desk** and the section you are working in open automatically. You see only the items your role and your hospital's modules allow.

| Section | Items |
| - | - |
| **Front desk** | Home, Dashboard, Patients, Appointments |
| **Clinical** | Clinical (encounters), Lab worklist, Lab results, Lab tests |
| **Pharmacy** | Dispensing, Pharmacy (formulary), Stock, Stock alerts |
| **Inpatient** | Admissions, Ward (wards and beds setup) |
| **Billing** | Discount approvals, HMO claims, HMO AR aging, Daily report, Billing (price list) |
| **Insight** | Reports, Audit log |
| **Administration** | Staff, Departments, Administration (user accounts) |
| (bottom) | Settings |

On a phone or narrow window, the menu is hidden. Select the menu button at the top left to open it.

## The top bar

The top bar shows:

* **Where you are**: the section and page name (for example "Clinical / Lab worklist").
* **Your name and role**, for example "amaka.okafor, Doctor".
* **Sign out**.
* **Help**: opens this help center in a new tab, so you do not lose your work. On a phone it shows as a question-mark icon.

## Home

**Home** is the page you see after signing in.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The **Today** panel on Home currently always shows "No activity today". Use the **Dashboard** and the **Appointments** day view for today's numbers and lists.

## Dashboard

The **Dashboard** (operational dashboard) shows live tiles for today. Each tile appears only if your role can see that information:

| Tile | What it counts | Who sees it |
| - | - | - |
| **Today's revenue** | Invoiced today, net of refunds | Administrators, Cashiers |
| **Patients seen today** | Encounters opened today | Doctors, Nurses, Administrators |
| **Occupied beds** | Beds currently occupied | Nurses |
| **Pending lab results** | Ordered tests not yet verified | Lab technicians |
| **Low-stock drugs** | Drugs below their reorder level | Pharmacists |

If your role has no tiles, you see "No metrics are available for your role."

## Pages without a menu item

A few pages are reached from inside other pages rather than from the menu:

| Page | How to get there |
| - | - |
| Queue board | **Queue board** link on Appointments |
| Patient bill | From an invoice, or ask your administrator for the encounter's bill link |
| HMOs setup | Empty state of **HMO claims**, or `/admin/hmos` |
| Provider calendars | `/admin/calendar` |
| Clinical note templates | `/admin/note-templates` |
| Notification failures | `/admin/notifications/failures` |
| Two-step verification settings | `/account/mfa` |
| Change password | `/account/change-password` |

Add the path to your hospital's address, for example `https://stmary.ndumed.co/account/mfa`.
