The logo also takes you to your Revelation helpdeskhome page from anywhere in the system. If you have the Personalization module activated, the graphic can be changed at any time.
Masthead: Navigation buttons are dependent upon a user’s access rights. As an example, Reports are not available to internal Users with User level permissions, so the button would not be visible.

The buttons, left to right, are as follows:
