MiBaseNZ’s system menu is a bar-shaped menu located below the MiBaseNZ logo. It provides you with a wide range of the most helpful functions on the MiBaseNZ system. The design of the second menu allows you to get to the most commonly used functions quickly with just one click.

Below is MiBaseNZ home page. It is the first screen you see when you log in. Underneath the MiBaseNZ logo, you will see a horizontal bar of buttons (outlined). This is the second menu.

Note: Some extra functions will appear in the second menu depending on certain pages you have viewed in MiBaseNZ. This is explained below.
