Running across the top of the Accounting Center window is the Eagle navigator button, the application's title bar, the center tabs, and the ribbon. To the left of the window, running vertically, is the left navigation pane. At the bottom of the window are the bottom navigation tabs, and status and notification bar. In the middle of all these elements is the workspace, where you display and edit data. Each workspace has one or more tabs with an associated ribbon with action buttons that allow you to view and manage data. 

In the left navigation pane, after you select a top-level workspace, a set of related options appears. You can select an option, or, alternately, can select an arrow that displays a set of related sub-options until you find the option you want. When you select an option, it appears in the workspace.
