The bell icon in your Quick Access menu will show you when you have any unread notifications pertaining to you.

Announcements

Neon will occasionally provide pop-ups of important information. 

When you select Do not show again, NeonCRM will not display this particular message as a pop-up again (it will, however, display the message the next time that our NeonCRM team changes it). If you select this option and do want to view the message again, click on the Notifications button and select "View updates."

Navigation

This allows you to navigate between modules in NeonCRM, such as Fundraising, Membership, Events, Store, etc. Clicking a module name will bring up a menu related to that module, such as running a new report or executive report.

Manage your navigation bar

Your main navigation bar includes a default order to display the various areas of NeonCRM available to you. You can now customize this view by clicking the pencil icon on the right:

You will see a dropdown list with the current navigation order.

If you'd like to move one of the options, click the button next to it and drag it to the desired spot.

Click Save at the bottom of the list to save your changes. Reset will send the order back to the system default.

Your navigation bar will now show the areas you use most, first.
