The Bookmarks Bar is essentially the more than 300 systems, websites, and links the company uses, all organized according to the issues that each Department in the company handles. The company has 6 Departments. The bookmarks bar is an essential tool of the BTCN because every site any company employee might need during the course of daily workflows is housed in the bookmarks bar.

Workflow Divider Tabs are provided so that the many websites a FM must navigate to during the course of daily workflows are organized in a logical way. The divider tabs appear at the top of an FMs web browser. They are not only color coded and organized with relavant categories, but also placed in order chronologically according to the steps a FM must take when planning, bidding on, booking, and assigning any load. The tabs extract and detract so that a user when extracted has access to the tabs within the category; when detracted, only the category heading is shown.
Google Workspace, which hosts our company network, has not yet provided the functionality for these divider tabs to be remain set. Use the guide below to reorganize your tabs if they ever become unorganized:
