Navigate the Main Menu

Written by Ruby Lin

The main menu on the left side of the screen gives you access to all core features of the Interu platform. Each icon corresponds to a different section of the platform, grouped by data type. There is collapse/expand toggle so you can see where you are at a glance, or collapse it back to icons-only to reclaim screen space when you need it.

Interu's navigation structure reflects the platform’s core data types:

  • Static data – Information that changes infrequently such as Organisations, Locations, Products, Materials, and Countries. Typically reviewed annually.

  • Transaction data – Records that change frequently, including Deliveries, Items and Processes. These are reviewed with each transaction.

  • Evidence data – Supporting documents such as invoices, shipping documents, certificates, audit reports... that validate static or transactional records.

To navigate:

  1. Use the Main Menu icons on the left-hand side of the screen

  2. Click an icon to access the corresponding data type

The following Features are accessible via the Main Menu:

  • Inbox: view and accept received records and updates from other organisations
