General Site Layout
The Accounting Services Web Site has been designed to make finding
the information you need easy. The site is divided into several
sections representing the services that we provide:
- Bookkeeping - bookkeeping entries
and financial report descriptions
- Travel Management - university policy
on travel and instructions on completing travel forms
- Accounts Payable - instructions on making
payments to companies and individuals
- Sponsored Programs - information
pertaining to the financial administration of sponsored program accounts
- Property Management - instructions on managing university-owned
equipment in your department and on notifying Accounting Services
of changes in the status or location of equipment
General Page Layout
Every page in the Accounting Service Web Site is layed out identically
for navigation purposes.
Banner Area
The banner area of each page contains the IPFW logo and a list of the
topical areas of the web site, as well as links back to the Accounting
Services home page and the university's home page.
To go to a particular area of the web site, click on the name of the
topic to go to that part of the web site.
Content Area
The middle section of each page contains the content of the topic.
It may contain additional links to other topical areas.
A Note about External Links
In order to help you "keep your place" on the Accounting
Services web site, links to external web pages are designed to open
in an entirely new Netscape or Internet Explorer window. Once you have
located the information you need on the external site, simply close
the window and you should find yourself right where you left off on
the Accounting Services web site.
Windows 95/98 users will see a new Netscape icon appear on the
taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Windows 3.1 users will not see anything obvious that indicates
a new window has opened. If you try to use your back button to return
to the Accounting Services page from which you came, however, you will
be unable to get any furthe back than the first external link you went
to. Simply close the browser window and you will be back in the original
browser session, right at the Accounting Services page you were last
on.
(Some older browsers don't support multiple sessions. With these browsers,
you will have to use your BACK button to return to the Accounting Services
Web Site.)
Bottom Border
The bottom border of each page contains links back to the main topics
of the site, plus any additional topics related to your current topic.
Search Form
Additionally, there is a general search link on each page. If you didn't
find the topic you were looking for, click on this link to go to the
search form. Type in a keyword that describes the topic you're looking
for and submit it to the search engine. You'll get a list of pages matching
your keyword.
Comment Form
At the bottom of the page, beneath the copyright notice, is a link
to the Comment Form. If you have a
suggestion, a comment or a question about the web site - click on this
form and you can submit your comments to the Manager of Accounting Services.
