Rundoo has two modes — POS for day-to-day selling and Admin for setup and settings — and each mode has its own left sidebar.
Every page has the same three zones: the header across the top, the Mode switcher and left sidebar down the left edge, and the page content in the middle.
The header
The header runs across the top of every authenticated page. Left to right:
- Rundoo logo — takes you back to the POS home (New Sale).
- Pin / unpin button — the pushpin immediately right of the logo collapses the sidebar to icons when you need more room on screen. Click it again to pin it back open.
- Your name and current location — top-right, two lines. The top line is you (e.g. "Rundoo Staff"); the bottom is your company and the location you're currently signed into ("RUNDOO | Menlo Park"). Location determines which register, inventory, and tax rate this session is acting against — see Sign-in for how to switch.
- Search — the magnifier-icon button. Opens a global search overlay that looks across products, customers, sales, and more. See Search below.
- Support — the question-mark dropdown. Links into Rundoo Support and documentation.
- Rundoo AI — the purple sparkle icon at the far right. Opens Rundoo AI, your built-in assistant for asking questions about your store's data.
The "user menu" lives at the bottom of the left sidebar rather than the top-right: Change theme (light / dark) and Sign out.
POS mode vs Admin mode
The two tabs at the top of the left sidebar — POS and Admin — flip the whole app between two workspaces:
- POS mode is the day-to-day register. Transactions, Receivables, Cash Drawers, Orders, Transfers, Counts, Products, Customers, Vendors, Dashboards, Reports, Rundoo AI. This is where a cashier, counter rep, or manager spends most of their day.
- Admin mode is setup and back-office. Company settings, Locations, Staff, Customer / Product / Tag settings, Communications, Security, QuickBooks, Chart of Accounts, Finances, Reporting, Stripe. This is where an owner, admin, or implementation lead configures how Rundoo runs.
Clicking either tab swaps the left sidebar to that mode's items. The header stays put; your current location stays put; only the sidebar changes. Which items you can see in each mode depends on your permissions — if you don't see something a coworker has, that's a permissions question, not a missing feature.
