Finding your way around

Every screen in WastePro shares the same frame: a menu down the left, a thin bar across the top, and your current screen filling the rest. Once you know those two pieces, you can find anything.

The WastePro screen: the menu on the left, the top bar, and your current screen filling the rest

The sidebar is your main way of moving around. From top to bottom it has three parts:

Your organisation — at the very top, a card showing which business you’re currently working in. If your login covers more than one business, this is also where you switch between them. See Switching organisations.
The menu itself — the list of screens, grouped into sections (Operations, Directory, Analytics, Finance and so on).
Your account — pinned at the bottom. Your initials and name appear here; opening it reveals settings, and the Sign out button.

Sections expand and collapse

The menu is grouped under headings like Operations and Directory. Select a heading to open or close that group — it works like a set of drawers, so you can keep the ones you use open and the rest tucked away. WastePro remembers which groups you left open. The group containing the screen you’re currently on always stays open so you never lose your place.

Some items (like Customers) have their own sub-items that appear indented underneath when you open them.

You won’t necessarily see every section shown in this guide. The menu adapts to your role and the type of business your account is set up for, so some items are hidden if they don’t apply to you.

Giving a screen more room

You can collapse the whole sidebar to a narrow strip of icons using the toggle button in the top bar — handy when you want more width for a screen. Hover over the strip and it slides back out temporarily. A couple of the wide spreadsheet-style screens (Bookings Review and Master List) collapse it automatically to make room for the grid; you can always slide it back out.

The top bar

The slim bar across the top of every screen holds:

Breadcrumbs — a trail on the left (for example Customers › Acme Pty Ltd) showing where you are and letting you step back up.
Search — a search box on the right (covered below).
A green “Live” pill — simply confirms the app is connected and working.

Search: the fastest way to jump anywhere

The search box in the top-right is the quickest way to get to a specific record. Start typing the name of a customer, site, service, contact, driver and so on, and matching results appear grouped by type — select one to jump straight to it.

You can open search from anywhere with a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + K (or ⌘ + K on a Mac). Type at least two letters to see results.

At the bottom of the sidebar, your account menu shows your initials, your name, and your role (such as Administrator or Member). Open it to reach any settings you have access to and to Sign out when you’re done.
