After [logging in](../../configured-commerce/optimizely-configured-commerce/administer-a-website/security/windows-active-directory-sso-login.mdx) to Optimizely Campaign, the start page appears showing a dashboard with information and data on your latest campaigns.

The [global navigation bar](docId\:PmNPgvNucBrAG5Rw8f41f) lets you navigate the available Optimizely products, your organizations and Campaign clients and access the [profile area](docId\:PmNPgvNucBrAG5Rw8f41f). The [menu bar](docId\:PmNPgvNucBrAG5Rw8f41f) to the left lets you access all available features - depending on your user account, your package, and your permissions.

## [start-page.mdx](docId\:PmNPgvNucBrAG5Rw8f41f)Global navigation bar

The global navigation bar lets you navigate the available Optimizely products, your organizations and your Campaign clients. For additional information, see [Opti ID home dashboard](docId\:PmNPgvNucBrAG5Rw8f41f). The navigation bar is structured from left to right as follows:

- Optimizely logo
- Drop-down menu for Organisations
- Drop-down menu for products and clients
- Page selector for switching between currently open features and menus of Campaign. The stack icon displays the number of open windows.
  **Attention:** Always use the page selector to return to open pages. Do not use the forward and back buttons on your browser, as this may cause unsaved changes to be lost.
- Buttons for marketplace, user documentation and [profile area](docId\:PmNPgvNucBrAG5Rw8f41f).

## Time zones

If the time zone support is *not* activated in your client, the profile area shows the system time of the Optimizely data center. This corresponds to central European time (CET), which may be different from the time at your location.

For example, if you are in London (one hour behind CET) and set a dispatch time of 17:00, then Optimizely Campaign sends the message at 18:00 your time. On the other hand, if you are in Istanbul (one hour ahead of CET) and set a dispatch time of 17:00, Optimizely Campaign sends your message at 16:00 your time.

Also, daylight savings time may vary by an additional hour compared to your time zone.

Dates are entered in the format YYYY-MM-DD and correspond to the ISO 8601 international standard. Example: 15th May 2017 is displayed as 2017-05-15.
