MSTS - Summary Screen

Summary Screen

Top bar
On the top bar, the user's name is displayed along with the date.

Sidebar
On the left of the summary screen is the sidebar. The sidebar is visible at all times providing the basic functionality of MSTS.

Action Items Quick Access
These are 2 drop down menus that provide some of the same functionality of the sidebar and the main content area. The dropdown on the left has each action/sub-action hyperlinked to its detail screen. The dropdown on the right are hyperlinks to the Actions: part of the sidebar.

Main Content Area The main content area provides a synopsis of each action/sub-action with which the user is involved. Actions and sub-actions are only differentiated here by the column of parent no. If a user has a default role of Administrator, all actions/sub-actions are shown. If parent no. has a '-', then that action is a top-level action (a.k.a. project). Each column/attribute of the action is described below:

Action item no. - a unique id #, identifying the action/sub-action
Name - a short name given to the action/sub-action
Assignee - person assigned to action/sub-action
Source - organization from which action/sub-action originates
Parent No. - Action item no. of parent
Related actions - Are there any related action/sub-actions?
Brief-on - Date a current briefing will be given of action/sub-action
Suspense - When will the action/sub-action be completed?
File attachment - Are there any associated files associated with the action/sub-action?

To sort any one of the columns in the main content region, one may click on the column heading. The data will be redisplayed sorted according to the column heading which was clicked.

There are other attributes of an action, and those can be viewed on the action/sub-action detail screen.
