Huron IRB - Navigation and Basic Tasks

• Recently Viewed:
  • Recent: The last several items you viewed. Scroll through this list to find an item you worked on recently.
  • Pinned: You can pin the items in Recently Viewed section for quick and easy access. This is where those pinned items are listed.
• Personalize Table: You can alter the tables displayed on the dashboard by using the Personalize Table gear icon.
