Desk Page

When you log in, you're presented with the Desk. It features a persistent sidebar sorted into categories. Each sidebar item links to a page called Desk Page.

A Desk Page represents a module (for example CRM in ERPNext). A Desk Page includes the following:

  • A dashboard section for that particular module.
  • A shortcut section for frequently used masters, transactions or pages.
  • A masters section where all the reports and masters are grouped and listed.
