The side bar is the main navigation tool between the different functions of the application. This works exactly the same as the Outlook Bar in Microsoft Outlook.
There are groups of similar areas of the software grouped together. If you are use low screen resolution, you may wish to contract some of the groups in order to show others that maybe off the screen. Clicking the double arrows with expand and contract the groups.
Within each group are screens that display the data within the software. Clicking on each will show the screen and all information stored for each record. So for example, clicking on the Players link, will open the players screen and allow you to pick any player you have entered in the software and add, update or delete the players data.
This navigation is also available through the Menu Bar .
