=====Navigating VMIS=====

===Menus===
-----------

VMIS is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface|Multiple Document Interface]], or MDI, application. This means that there is a main window with an open workspace, or client area, in which multiple screens, or child windows, can be viewed, organized, and used within a single instance of VMIS. The main window has a menu bar across the top that provides access to the different areas and features in VMIS. This menu bar is dynamic in that the menus available in the menu bar will differ based on the rights assigned to a user.
