The refresh icon on the left will reload the patient data and apply any changes you have entered into the patient record that are checked by Topbar. However normally Topbar will pick up changes as you enter them, so there shouldn't be any need to manually refresh the patient record.
The settings menu icon 
will open a settings menu with a number of options to customise Topbar according to your preferences.
The 'My Account' link will open a new page in your browser on users.pencs.com.au where you can change your details and update your password if desired. The Sign Out link will sign you out of Topbar while leaving the application running – if you have enabled the single sign on this computer it will also unlink Topbar from your clinical system sign on. We recommend to close your clinical system as this will sign you out of Topbar while leaving the link between Topbar and the clinical system sign on enabled or click on the X to close Topbar.
