The Expense Interface

Following is a quick overview of the Expense interface.

Home Page

The Home page is the first page you’ll see displayed when you successfully log in to Expense. Below is an example of what yours may look like:

There are six panes in the Home page window, labeled A-F in the image above. They are the source for quick information about your expense reports and your organization.

A: Calendar 

Expense provides a simple, easy-to-read calendar for your reference. The current date is highlighted. Click the arrow in the upper left corner to view previous months; the arrow in the upper right corner for upcoming months.
