### Navigation at a glance

On web, everything in Sortly starts from the menu on the left side of the screen.

- **The top of the menu** has your daily work areas, from Dashboard to Reports.
- **The bottom of the menu** has Integrations, Setup, Settings, and your account.
- **The Locations panel** appears when you open Inventory. It lists your locations and the Catalog.

### The main menu on web

Select any item in the menu to open that area. The area you are in is highlighted.

#### Dashboard

See what needs attention today, such as overdue jobs and items that are low or out of stock, and jump straight to them.

![Dashboard screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-c1.png)

#### Inventory

Your items, stock, and locations, plus the Catalog.

![Inventory screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-b2.png)

#### Jobs

Plan what your jobs need and keep them on schedule. Create jobs, filter by start date or status, and see stock availability for each one.

![Jobs screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-b3.png)

#### Restock

Review items that need replenishment and turn them into draft purchase orders.

![Restock screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-b5.png)

#### Workflows

Actions you can take on your inventory that change quantities: Pick Lists, Stock Counts, and Invoices.

![Workflows screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-d4.png)

#### Reports

Run reports such as Inventory Summary, Transactions, and Item Flow, and save the ones you use often.

![Reports screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-d6.png)

💡 Use the arrow at the top of the menu to collapse it and give your work more room.

### Finding items and locations in Inventory

Select Inventory and a second panel opens next to the main menu. This is where you move between your locations and your Catalog.

- Stock locations lists the places you keep stock, such as MAIN, Warehouse 1, and Warehouse 2. The default location is marked Default.
- Job locations lists the locations created for your jobs.
- The number beside each location shows how many items are stocked there.
- Catalog at the bottom of the panel opens the full list of all your items in one place.

Select a location to see its items. Select Catalog to see everything.

To learn more about how items, stock, and the Catalog fit together, see [What Are Items, Stock, and the Catalog?](https://help.sortly.com/sb/items-stock-and-catalog?hsLang=en)

### Integrations, Setup, and Settings

The bottom of the menu holds the areas you use less often.

#### Integrations

Connect Sortly to the apps your team already uses, such as QuickBooks, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.

![Integrations screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-b7.png)

#### Setup

Configure your account, including Job Templates, Customers, Custom Fields, Vendors, Units of Measure, and Import inventory.

![Setup screen](https://help.sortly.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sortly-overview-b8.png)

#### Settings

Manage your User Profile, Preferences, Company Details, and Plan & Billing, plus Manage Members and Manage Permissions for your team.

Your name and email at the very bottom of the menu open your account menu.

### Navigating on mobile

The Sortly mobile app has the same areas as web, arranged for a smaller screen. Instead of a menu on the left, a bar at the bottom of the screen keeps everything within reach.

#### Inventory

Your items, stock, and locations, plus the Catalog.
