# System Navigation
### Basic Navigation
The BuilderTek Home Dashboard is designed to give you quick access to the modules and tools you use every day. Whether you're creating a new project, reviewing an RFQ, updating a budget, or managing customer information, everything can be accessed from a single screen.
There are two primary navigation tools available on the BuilderTek Home page:
* App Launcher
* Main Navigation
Together, these provide access to every BuilderTek module and allow you to move seamlessly between different parts of the platform.
***
#### 1. App Launcher (Nine-Dot Menu)
The App Launcher is the fastest way to access any module available within BuilderTek.
Click the nine-dot menu located in the top navigation bar. A search window will open, allowing you to search for any BuilderTek application or module.
Commonly searched modules include:
* BT Projects
* Walkthroughs
* RFQs
* Quotes
* Budgets
* Purchase Orders
* Funding Management
* Opportunities
* Accounts
The App Launcher is particularly useful for accessing modules that you don't use regularly or modules that are not part of your Main Navigation menu.
***
#### 2. Main Navigation
The Main Navigation provides quick access to the BuilderTek modules you use most frequently.
Click the drop-down arrow in the navigation bar to view the list of available applications and modules.
Simply select the module you want to open, and it will launch in a new tab.
One of the advantages of BuilderTek is that the Main Navigation is fully customizable. Your administrator can configure this menu based on your company's workflow, allowing frequently used modules to remain easily accessible.
Because each module opens in a separate tab, you can work on multiple records simultaneously while keeping your BuilderTek Home Dashboard open in the background.
***
### Additional Navigation Tools
In addition to the App Launcher and Main Navigation, BuilderTek includes several built-in tools that help you navigate the platform more efficiently.
#### 3. Universal Search
The Search box works like a search engine for your BuilderTek system.
Simply type the name, number, or keyword of the record you are looking for, and BuilderTek will search across the platform.
You can search for:
* Projects
* Accounts
* Opportunities
* RFQs
* Quotes
* Budgets
* Vendors
* Customers
* Purchase Orders
* And many other records
Clicking a search result opens the selected record in a new tab, allowing you to continue working without interrupting your current screen.
***
#### 4. Favorites
The Favorites menu provides quick access to records and pages you have marked as favorites.
Instead of searching for frequently used projects or modules every time, you can simply open them directly from your Favorites list.
***
#### 5. Global Actions
The Global Actions button ( + ) allows you to create new records from anywhere within BuilderTek.
Rather than navigating to a specific module first, you can quickly create common records directly from the Home screen.
Typical actions include:
* New Opportunity
* New Contact
* New Email
* New Event
* New Case
* New Lead
This feature is especially useful when you need to capture new information quickly while working in another module.
***
#### 6. Guidance Center
The Guidance Center provides in-application assistance and helpful information while you're using BuilderTek.
It offers contextual guidance, answers to common questions, and learning resources to help you navigate the platform more efficiently.
***
#### 7. Help Center
The Help menu gives you access to BuilderTek's support resources.
From here, you can access:
* User guides
* Help articles
* Training resources
* Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
* Self-help documentation
This is the first place to look when you need assistance using a feature or troubleshooting a common issue.
***
#### 8. Setup
The Setup menu allows administrators and authorized users to configure BuilderTek according to their organization's requirements.
Depending on your permissions, you can customize system settings, layouts, workflows, and other platform configurations.
***
#### 9. Notifications
The Notifications icon displays real-time updates from across the BuilderTek platform.
Examples include:
* New emails
* Vendor responses
* Customer approvals
* Project updates
* Workflow notifications
* Assigned tasks
Reviewing notifications regularly helps you stay informed about important project activities.
***
#### 10. Raise a Support Case
If you need assistance from the BuilderTek Support Team, you can create a support request directly from within the application.
Locate the "Raise Support Case" button in the footer of the BuilderTek Home screen.
Click the button, describe the issue you're experiencing, and submit your request.
Your support ticket is sent directly to the BuilderTek team, allowing you to request technical assistance without leaving the platform or contacting support through a separate system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.buildertek.com/overview/system-navigation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
