Every screen in Accord eHR shares the same header. Once you know it, you can reach anything in two clicks.

## The header

| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Company name | Your organisation. Select it to go back to the Dashboard. |
| **Dashboard · Self Service · Team Admin · eHR Portal Management** | The main menu. You only see the areas your role allows — see [Introduction](https://intelliob.com/docs/accord/getting-started). |
| **Search…** | Jump to any page by name. |
| Moon / sun icon | Switch between light and dark mode. |
| Bell icon | Your notifications. |
| Profile picture | My Profile, Settings and Sign Out. |

## Search for any page

1. **Open search** — Select **Search…** in the header, or press `Ctrl` + `K` (`⌘` + `K` on a Mac).
2. **Type what you're looking for** — For example *leave*, *payslip* or *timesheet*. Search matches page names and common words, so *vacation* finds Request Leave.
3. **Open the page** — Use the arrow keys and press `Enter`, or select the result.

![Search finds any page you have access to](https://intelliob.com/docs-assets/accord/getting-started/07-search.webp)
*Search finds any page you have access to*

> **Tip:** Search only lists pages you're allowed to open, so it's also a quick way to check whether a feature is enabled for you.

## Notifications

The bell shows a dot when something new arrives — for example a task that's due, a new notice or news article, an upcoming holiday or a new document. Select the bell to see them, and **Mark all read** to clear the list. When there's nothing new you'll see *You're all caught up!*

*The notifications panel*

## Your profile menu

Select your profile picture to open:

- **My Profile** — your personal and official details. See [My Profile](https://intelliob.com/docs/accord/self-service/my-profile).
- **Settings** — [change your password](https://intelliob.com/docs/accord/getting-started/change-password).
- **Sign Out**.

## Dark mode

Select the moon icon to switch to dark mode, and the sun icon to switch back. Accord remembers your choice on this device.

## On a phone

Accord works in your phone's browser — there's nothing to install. The dashboard cards stack into a single column, and the main menu folds into the **☰** button at the top left.

*The dashboard on a phone*
  ![Tap ☰ to open the Main Menu](https://intelliob.com/docs-assets/accord/getting-started/10-mobile-menu.webp)
*Tap ☰ to open the Main Menu*

1. **Open the menu** — Tap **☰** at the top left. The **Main Menu** lists every page you can open — Dashboard, Self Service and each of its modules, and Team Admin or eHR pages if your role includes them.
2. **Go to a page** — Tap the page. The menu closes and the page opens.

> **Tip:** Add Accord to your home screen for one-tap access: in Chrome, open the browser menu and choose **Add to Home screen**; in Safari, tap **Share → Add to Home Screen**.
