=Application Navigation

==Application Components – Top Tabs==
After logging in, a row of tabs will appear at the top of the screen to provide Single Sign On (SSO) access to all of the Elcom applications to which you have permission.

The default application in which you land can be changed for your organisation or user profile but will invariably be the PECOS P2P. Other tabs will appear based on your user permissions and may include, P2P Administration, P2P Reports, eSourcing, Contract Management and eInvoicing.

==Branding and System Name==
Your organisation may have created a new name for PECOS. If so, the Top Tab area will display your organisation’s bespoke name for the application, replacing any generic ‘PECOS’ or ‘Elcom’ logo. These changes may also include your organisation’s logo and the application of your internal branding and colour scheme (known as a ‘skin’).

==User Panel==
The top right hand corner displays your logged in User Name. Hover or click in this area to open the User Panel where you will find access to user specific functions.

* **Password**: Select this option to change your password and open the Change Your Password window.
* **Log Out**: When you have completed all your tasks and wish to leave the application, click here to log out of PECOS P2P. The sign on screen will redisplay, from where you can close the web browser.
