PCMM Home Screen
The PCMM home screen contains these areas:
The Context Bar
The dark blue banner at the top of the screen shows your duty station,
user name, and a log out link. The Parent VISN, if the station has a parent,
is shown in the light blue banner just below. If the station does not
have a parent, the VISN number will display.
Application Buttons
The buttons shown below the banner are links to the applications that you
have permission to use. If you are an administrator, you can sign
into PCMM without selecting a duty station, until you begin performing
application functions.
The Menu Bar
The menus across the top of the screen allow access to functions that you
can perform, according to your role.
The Bread Crumb Trail
As you navigate through the application, the names of screens will appear
at the top left of the screen to show your location in the application.
You can click the screen names to go to that location.
The Help Button
Clicking the blue Help button on
each screen will display help that is specific to that screen. To access
the Table of Contents for the entire help file, click Help
> Web Help from the main menu.
There is also a bread crumb trail at the top of the window that shows
the location of the current help topic in the larger help file.

and PCMM tasks are performed.
