Understanding the GWMS Navigation Bar

Last updated: 2026-08-06

1. Scenario

The navigation bar helps customers find business entry points. After logging into GWMS, the left side is the business menu, the top bar is the global operation area, and the avatar dropdown in the upper-right corner is used for personal settings and logout.

Applicable scenarios:

• You are logging into the customer side for the first time and need to understand the page layout.
• You want to confirm whether a function is in the top bar, the left-side menu, or the avatar dropdown.
• You want to organize the left-side menu into daily-use scenarios.

2. Instructions

2.1 Review the top navigation bar first

Menu location: Top of the page after logging into GWMS

The top navigation bar is used for global actions. Common customer-side areas currently include:

• Collapse Menu on the left: expands or collapses the left-side menu.
• Breadcrumb in the middle: shows the current page location, such as Home.
• Current Time on the right: shows the system time under the selected timezone.
• Timezone dropdown on the right: switches the timezone used by time displays.
• Freight cost estimation on the right: opens the freight trial page.
• Message on the right: opens system messages, notices, and unread reminders.
• Language on the right: switches Chinese, English, Français, or Español.
• Help Center on the right: opens the GWMS help documentation.
• Username and Avatar on the far right: opens Personal Center, Layout Setting, or Logout.

2.2 Then review the left-side main menu

Menu location: Left side of the page

The left-side menu is used to open business pages. The customer demo account currently shows these first-level menus:

• GWMS-Home: reviews inventory, outbound, reminder, and financial overview widgets.
• GWMS-System Configuration: opens customer-side configuration pages.
• GWMS-Product Management: maintains products and SKUs.
• GWMS-Inbound Management: creates inbound forecasts and reviews inbound progress.
• GWMS-Outbound Management: submits outbound orders and tracks outbound status.
• GWMS-Inventory Management: reviews inventory, starts stock counts, and sets inventory alerts.
• GWMS-Return Management: reviews and processes return-related orders.
• GWMS-Fee Management: reviews account balance, bills, and fee transactions.
• GWMS-Platform Management: manages platform authorization, platform orders, and SKU mapping.
• GWMS-System Management: reviews users, permissions, or system-related pages.
• GWMS-Report: opens customer-side reports.

If a menu is missing, it is usually related to account permissions or a personalized menu scenario. Click 个性化菜单 - 全部应用 first to confirm whether a custom scenario is active. If the menu is still missing, contact your implementation team or administrator to confirm the permission scope.

2.3 Use the personalized menu to organize common entries

Menu path: GWMS-Left-side bottom-个性化菜单

After clicking 个性化菜单 at the bottom of the left-side menu, the left area switches to the personalized menu panel:

• 全部应用: exits the personalized menu and restores the full menu.
• Created custom scenarios: clicking one scenario shows only the menus selected for that scenario.
• 自定义菜单: creates a new custom scenario.

Figure legend:

1. 全部应用: switches back to the full menu.
2. 自定义菜单: creates a daily-use menu scenario.

When creating a custom scenario, enter the scenario name and select the menus to keep in the menu permission tree. After clicking 确 定, the scenario appears in the personalized menu panel.

Figure legend:

1. 场景名称: enter the custom scenario name.
2. 菜单权限: select the menus to display in this scenario.
3. Bottom action buttons: cancel or save the current scenario.

2.4 Use the avatar dropdown menu

Menu path: GWMS-Top-right avatar

Click the avatar in the upper-right corner to expand the dropdown menu. Common customer-side entries currently include:

• Personal Center: opens profile details, change password, and online devices.
• Layout Setting: adjusts theme, breadcrumb, Tags-Views, fixed Header, Logo, dynamic title, and layout size.
• Logout: signs out of the current account and returns to the login page.

2.5 Use the navigation bar to open account-setting pages

If you need to manage settings for the current account itself, we recommend this order:

1. Start with this article if you need to understand where buttons and entry points are located.
2. Go to User Center when you need to review or update nickname, phone number, or email.
3. Go to Change Password when you need to change the current login password.

3. Supplementary Notes

3.1 Division of responsibility between the top bar and the left-side menu

• The top navigation bar is better suited for global actions, such as switching timezone, switching language, viewing messages, opening Help Center, and entering Personal Center.
• The left-side menu is better suited for opening business pages, such as inbound, inventory, outbound, fee, and platform management.
• The avatar dropdown is better suited for current-account and page-layout settings.
• A personalized menu only changes the current user's menu display scope. It does not change the account's system permissions.

3.2 Menu visibility can change with permissions and scenarios

Different customer accounts may see different left-side menus, top quick-action buttons, and warehouse scopes.

If you find that:

• A menu visible to your colleague is missing from your own account.
• An entry point mentioned in the documentation cannot be found in your account.
• Some menus disappear after switching to a personalized menu scenario.
• A top-bar button is not displayed.

Switch back to 全部应用 first, then contact your implementation team or administrator to confirm the permission scope.

4. FAQ

Q1: Should I look for a function in the top navigation bar or in the left-side menu?

A1: For global actions, check the top navigation bar first, such as timezone switching, language switching, message viewing, Help Center, or Personal Center. For business functions, check the left-side menu first, such as inbound, inventory, outbound, fee, and platform management.

Q2: Why can't I see a certain left-side menu?

A2: Click 个性化菜单 - 全部应用 first to confirm that a custom scenario is not filtering the menu. If the menu is still missing after switching back to all applications, the current account usually does not have the corresponding permission. Contact your implementation team or administrator.

Q3: The left-side menu is long and hard to browse. What should I do?

A3: Go to 个性化菜单, click 自定义菜单, and create a daily-use scenario. After selecting that scenario, the left side only shows the menus selected for the scenario.

Q4: I no longer see the old Full Screen or Layout Size button in the top bar. Where should I adjust the page display?

A4: The current customer-side top bar no longer shows separate Full Screen or Layout Size buttons. To adjust page display, click the avatar in the upper-right corner and open Layout Setting.
