Screens and settings
Panel Layout
The side menu, top bar and user menu of the panel, the alert bars above the screens and how this help writes menu paths.
The panel consists of a menu on the left, a toolbar at the top and the screen you work on in the middle. The menu shows only the sections you have permission for. When the panel opens, the Overview screen summarises the work waiting for you.
Side menu
The Overview screen is at the very top of the menu. The other screens are grouped under these headings:
| Heading | Screens in it |
|---|---|
| Author & reviewer | My submissions, and Reviewing if you are in the reviewer pool or have a reviewer invitation |
| Editorial | Editor queue, Production, ISBN & legal deposit |
| Catalogue | Publications, Data quality, DOAB readiness, Journals & issues, People & institutions, Categories, File library, Bulk import, Copyright and correction reports |
| Institutional content | Pages & policies, News & events, Menus, Banners, Institutional documents, Newsletter subscribers, Contact messages |
| Administration | Reports, Users & roles, E-mail templates, Audit log, Data requests (KVKK), Site settings, System health |
The Back to the public site link at the bottom of the menu opens the public site. On narrow screens you open the menu with the menu button at the left of the top bar.

Alert bars
A bar appears at the top of the screens when needed:

Menu paths in this help
This help writes menu paths with an arrow. For example, the path Editorial → Editor queue means that you open the Editor queue screen under the Editorial heading of the side menu.
The help button next to the title of each screen opens that screen's help page. The details are in Using the Help Pages.
