📋 Main Menu

What is the Main Menu?

The home page is the starting point for every user in the OpticCount system. It was designed to be clear, simple and intuitive, allowing every employee to start a count or identify an item with a single button press.

Page Structure

• 🔝 Header (Top Bar)
  • OpticCount logo (clicking it always returns to the home page).
  • Hamburger button ☰ (top right) – opens the Sidebar with all management pages and settings.
  • Username/Avatar (top left) – clicking opens a menu with:
    • Language Selection – Hebrew, English, Arabic, Russian. The interface adjusts direction (RTL/LTR) automatically.
    • Logout.
• 🟦 Main Action Cards – displayed in the center of the screen:
  • Start Count 🧾
    • For starting an inventory count.
    • If there is only one store – the count page opens immediately.
    • If there are multiple stores – a dialog appears: "Select Store for Count".
  • Identify Item 🔍
    • Allows searching for an item by barcode, item code, or product name.
    • You can update item details or add it to the catalog.
• 🎯 Floating Button – Onboarding (FAB) (for new users)
  • A small round button in the corner of the screen leading to the onboarding checklist.
  • Hidden automatically after completing all steps or after manual dismissal.

Sidebar

When you click the hamburger button ☰ – a sidebar opens with a list of all management pages and settings:

• 🏠 Home
• 📊 Overview
• 🧾 Recent Inventory Counts
• 📋 Orders (appears when Wix eCommerce or Bina ERP integration is configured)
• 📑 Item Catalog
• 💳 License & Purchases
• 📍 Locations
• 🏪 Branches
• 👥 Users
• 🔄 Borrowers & Loans
• 🔌 Integrations
• 🏢 Company Details

Behavior by User Type

• 👑 Main user (Manager) – sees all management pages in the sidebar.
• 👥 Sub-manager (Branch Manager) – sees the home page and some management pages, only those relevant to the branches they manage.
• 👷 Employee user – sees only the home page (Start Count, Identify Item) and generally does not see the full management sidebar.

🔍 "Identify Item" Button – Details

• Allows users to check information about a specific item, whether or not it exists in the catalog.
• Recommended for example when pricing products – scan an item and see its current price for applying price stickers. Also useful for checking current inventory of an item or viewing item data fields.
• After clicking, a search dialog appears where you can enter an item code, barcode, or product name.
• If the item is found in the catalog, a detailed screen is displayed with all relevant data:
  • Item name
  • Category
  • Price (if set)
  • Warehouse location
  • Quantity counted so far
  • And more...
• You can update item details and save changes, so future counts are based on the new data.
• In addition, a history table is displayed showing:
  • How many times the item was previously counted.
  • Which stores counted the item and on which dates.

Preventing Duplicates

To prevent duplicate user accounts, the system enforces the following rule:

• You cannot create two accounts with the same phone number.

If a user tries to register with a number that already exists, a warning appears and they are asked to login instead of registering again.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

1. User tries to access the management page without permission
   • If an employee tries to reach the management page (e.g., via a direct link), the system blocks the action and returns them to the main menu.
2. User did not select a store during counting
   • If the business has more than one store but the user did not select a store, the system does not allow them to continue until they select an appropriate store.
3. User clicks "Identify Item" and enters a code not in the catalog
   • The system displays a message that the item was not found, and offers:
     • To choose a similar item from a list of similar items.
     • To add the item to the catalog, according to system permissions.

Summary

The home page is designed to remain simple and clear: count or identify an item. All advanced tools are centralized in the Sidebar, which gives managers access to all management pages and hides them from regular users. This maintains a smooth user experience for employees, alongside full control for managers.
