The icon with the three dots inside is called a Twinkie.

● Twinkies often lead to additional and related actions that you may take on a given

item, if necessary.

● If you do not immediately see the twinkie, try hovering over the item you are

interested in with your mouse.

This icon is often found on items that require parameters to be entered in the

beginning of your navigation. Once you get to a report, for example, you can click

on the slider icon and adjust the initial parameters of the report you are

requesting.
