This ePVS nameplate acts as a link to the home page. From anywhere in the browser, you can return to the homepage by clicking on this nameplate. It will remain at the same level object that was selected previously. As seen in the image below the date of the browser module button is highlighted. Clicking the nameplate has returned the user to the homepage.

The Expand Main Menu button is here to expand or condense the main menu button. In the expanded mode, the icon and the module title will be displayed taking up approximately 1/8 of the screen.

In the closed configuration, the menu will fall away to 1/32 of the browser window. This will allow a greater viewing area. If the user hovers over the closed configuration menu, it will momentarily expand and allow you to view the whole menu. Moving off it will allow it to auto condense to its closed configuration. While expanded, click on the icon again to pin the expanded menu.
