The top menu is the main header of the EBS browser. It contains quick actions and shortcuts to different sections of the EBS. Let’s discuss each part of the top menu.
Left Navigation
The left navigation is a key feature that lets users navigate the Core Breeding tools. By default, the left navigation is visible and this tab will not be available. However, if the left navigation is hidden, click Show left nav or use the shortcut Alt + L to make it visible.
Dashboard
The dashboard is the landing page of the EBS website and contains helpful information or shortcuts that the user can use to navigate the system. It can be accessed by clicking on Dashboard or using the shortcut Alt + X.
Data filters
When viewing experiments, occurrences, or products, users can quickly filter out what is visible to them using data filters. The main filters they can set are the program(s) to which they belong and other filters such as year, season, stage, and site. They also have the option to see experiments made by everyone under that program or just their own.
Access the data filter by clicking on Data filters or using the shortcut Alt + V.
Type the year, season, stage, and site; then click Apply.
Save filters
Users can also save a filter for future use by clicking Save on the upper portion of the data filters tab. A pop-up window will prompt them to name the saved filter.
To switch between the saved filters, click the current filter and select one of the saved filters. The filtered data will display in some EBS tools like Experiment Manager.
Rename filters
From the Data filters, click the dropdown button beside the Save button > Update filter. The modal will prompt again to rename the filter.
Favorites
If a certain tool is used more often, it can be helpful to mark this as a favorite by clicking Favorites beside its name on the main page of that tool.
To view all the favorite tools, click the icon on the top menu or use the shortcut Alt + A. A pop-up window will appear with a list of your favorite tools which you can click to be redirected.
Recently used tools
The Recently Used Tools widget is similar to the Favorites widget. It shows the tools that were recently opened and the time last opened. Click on one of them to visit the tool again. This can be accessed by clicking Recently used tools or using the shortcut Alt + R.
Current filters
The current filters tab is a quick visual to show which filters are currently applied. By default, this will always show your current Program. To change the current filters, click the Data Filters button.
Search
Each tool will have its own way of searching for a specific item (e.g., experiment, seed, etc.). However, the Search on the top menu acts as a general search. Users can look for either germplasm, package, trait, experiment, tool, or person.
Simply click on Search to access the search field, type the word or phrase to look for, select from the dropdown menu the entity type, and type Enter.
If users are having difficulty getting results, they may click on the right side of the search field for a guide on how to use the general search. Refer to the guide below.

If users feel confused or encounter an issue while using the EBS, click Help from the top menu. Here they will find different sources of helpful information.
Support Desk
The Support Desk serves as a platform for submitting feedback on improving various parts of the system, reporting bugs, or requesting assistance. Access to the registered email address is essential, as updates on submitted requests will be sent there.
User Guides
When users click User Guides, it will take them to the EBS User Resources space. Here, they can find helpful information about the EBS, its concepts and terminologies, and user guides.
Account
The account tab contains information and tools that can help users manage their accounts. They may access the different tools in the submenu by clicking Account on the rightmost side of the top menu.
My profile
