# Navigating SwimTech
Learn how to move around SwimTech, use the Home screen, and access the main areas of the application.
### Understanding the Home screen
After signing in, SwimTech opens to the **Home** screen. This is the main starting point for accessing the features you use throughout the day.
At the top of the screen, you’ll see your greeting and name. The **Settings** button in the upper-right corner provides access to application preferences and configuration.
### At a Glance
The **At a Glance** section gives you a quick summary of current business activity.
Depending on your account and available data, this area may display information such as:
* Today’s activity
* Events
* Open work orders
Tap the arrow on the right side of **At a Glance** to expand or collapse the summary.
### Quick Actions
The **Quick Actions** area provides shortcuts to SwimTech’s main business tools.
From here, you may see:
* [**Contacts**](/documentation/using-swimtech/contacts.md) — Manage customer contacts, addresses, and email information.

* [**Settings**](/documentation/administration/settings.md) — Configure application preferences.
> **Hint:** The Quick Actions available to you may vary depending on your role, permissions, and your company’s SwimTech configuration.
### Bottom navigation
The navigation bar at the bottom of the application provides quick access to five frequently used areas:
* [**Home**](/documentation/using-swimtech/home-and-dashboard.md) — Return to the main SwimTech dashboard.
* [**Contacts**](/documentation/using-swimtech/contacts.md) — Access customer and contact information.
* [**Quote**](/documentation/using-swimtech/quotes.md) — Create and manage customer quotes.
* [**Work Order**](/documentation/using-swimtech/work-orders.md) — Access scheduled and active service jobs.
* [**Invoice**](broken://pages/c4vmt3pj7Hs9AGGlemam) — Access customer invoices and billing.
The currently selected area is highlighted in blue.
### Scrolling through the Home screen
Not every Quick Action may fit on the screen at once. **Scroll vertically** to access additional tools.
The bottom navigation remains available so you can quickly move between the primary areas of SwimTech.
### Where to go next

[**Home & Dashboard**](/documentation/using-swimtech/home-and-dashboard.md) → Learn more about the dashboard, At a Glance, and Quick Actions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.getswimtech.com/documentation/getting-started/navigating-swimtech.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
