# Navigating the EdEHR Interface
Every charting screen follows the same layout.\
Once you know the five main sections (shown below) you can work in any case study with confidence.
1. **Application Banner**
2. **Learning Activity Banner**
3. **Health Record Banner**
4. **Health Record Navigation**
5. **Health Record Content**
We will go through each of these below
***
### 1. Application Banner

2\. Click your choice of "Courses, Activity, User settings, Notepad , Exit to LMS"
#### Quick Menu Options:
* Courses (Go to the course dashboard page)

### 4. Health Record Navigation
The left hand navigation is the primary source of navigating between different health record forms and content areas. You can search for specific forms or navigate through drop down categories to find the desired form. You can also use the search bar to find what you're looking for.
* Left column = **Navigation** (Demographics, Allergies, Notes, Orders, Results, etc.).
* Right side = **Page content** (forms, tables, rich text).
***
### 5. Health Record Content
This is the heart the EHR interface the individual forms. After you have toggled to the desired form you can edit the form and or reset your chart data.
Many pages use editable forms: click **Edit form**, make changes, then **Save** or **Cancel**. You can always **Reset form data** to the base case.
1\. Click "Edit form"
2\. Click the field you want to edit
3\. Type your changes (e.g., "Mary Mary")
