This function has not been activated for the staff role (Mitarbeiter*in) but works with other roles. The next icon shows double digit number, which tells you how time is left until the automatic log out from the system. Any action in ZEuS resets the timer back to 15 minutes. The right most icon is the log out button. Below the above icons you will see a button, which allows you to switch language of the system from German to English or the other way around.
	In the zell/line below the main header area, you will find - if activated - a menu bar with the list of main menus and functions available in the selected role. The active menu is highlighted in blue colour. (On the screenshot it is "Home" menu).
	Here you see various tabs. These tabs can vary according to the selected role. For the staff you will find the following selection of tabs: The "Startseite" (homepage) contains various portlets, for example, quick links to the information from the HR.
