We’ve introduced a new navigation experience in BigTime to help you complete tasks faster, find tools easier, and focus on what matters most! No functional changes have been made to the system, only how you access the pages from the top navigation bar.
This article walks through four new navigation layouts. Click the collapsible section below to view the experience that applies to you:
