The Top Marketer Control Panel is the starting point for the Top Marketer applications. It is divided into the three areas described below.
Note: Until setup is complete the Setup Wizard opens when you log in. You can log in more than once before you complete setup, but when you have completed the requirements, and all the items have been checked in the To Do list, the wizard is turned off automatically. You can also select a feature to view or edit from the drop-down Setup menu in the Control Panel.
Main Menu Bar
Located across the top of the Control Panel, the Main Menu Bar gives you access to the Top Marketer applications, the Setup menu, and links to Help files.
Hover over an item to display a drop-down menu of available functions for that item. Click the required function. A page opens either in place of the Control Panel, or in a separate window. When you exit the function, you are returned to the Dashboard.
Tip: Click the Home icon to return to the Control Panel.
