The Sidebar is the blue navigation panel on the left side of CARMIS. It provides quick access to CARMIS modules, forms, reports, and other areas of the system.

Searching from the Sidebar
The Sidebar includes a search box at the top that allows users to quickly find forms by typing keywords.
For example, typing case will display matching forms such as:
- Case Notes (30)
- Employer Case Notes (560)
- Event Case Notes (General / non-client) (206)

After searching, the Sidebar will continue to show the matching results until the search is cleared. To clear the search, click the X icon in the search box.
Searching by Form Number
Users can also search by form number. Each form in CARMIS has a unique form number.

This allows users to quickly open a form without manually expanding each menu section.
