Navigating the Classic Menu

   Overview   

While the Fluid interface is more for the casual user, many users who work in the UGA Financial Management System find that they do much of their work in the Classic interface on pages that are not included in the Fluid interface.

The Class interface uses a cascading menu system. Folders provide organization and allow a drill down to the components which contain data for modification or review.

In this article, you will learn how the menu system works in the Classic interface.
