– Search History¶
The Search history symbol denotes that you can save or favorite your most frequently used searches. This feature allows users to re-run previously searched models within a project. The Search history has two parts, the search history part shows the last 10 searches the user has performed and the search favorites which allows the user to favorite and run a previous search done by the user. This ia a very powerful and useful capability that is liked by most users.
– Notification¶
The Notification symbol denotes that you have notifications. A number badge next to the notification symbol denotes the number of unread notifications or messages.

The Full Window symbol allows the user to maximize the current page or screen the user is viewing. Clicking this symbol will expand the current screen by full size by removing the browser title, address and button bars while maximizing the browser window to create more screen real estate.
– Dashboard¶
The Dashboard symbol allows the user to view the dashboard page. Depending on the user privileges either the Org, Project or User dashboard will be made available to the user. The dashboard itself contains many widgets which show various charts and numbers relevant to the org, project or user.
– Biological Profile¶
The male/female symbol denotes that the biological profile for a specimen. The biological profile is available under more actions button on the specimen screens if that specimen bone has any methods associated with it such as age, sex, ancestry and stature.
– Age¶
The number or pound symbol denotes that age methods for a specimen. The age methods are available in the biological profile menu under more actions button on the specimen screens if that specimen bone has any associated age methods.
