The settings icon on the right side of Topbar give access to the system functions. Clicking on the name of the Patient, in this case Mrs Maureen Andrews, will switch from full screen Topbar view to the patients record open in your GP application. If you are already viewing a patient and don't have Topbar on full screen view, nothing will happen.
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.

Application Settings
Here you can link your clinical system logon to your Topbar logon to make your logon to Topbar easier. Once linked you won't have to enter your Topbar user name and password. When logging out of your clinical system, Topbar will automatically log you out, too.
You can also set Topbar up to start when you start up your computer using the 'Auto Startup' option and set your preferred time for Topbar server updates. The default update time is 2 AM.
For full details on how to configure the single sign on and auto start up please check here: Topbar Startup and Single Sign On
