The top menu bar gives you control over the view found in Section 3: Main Calendar View. This contains the regular menu items (File, Edit, View, and Help), and the currently logged-in user. If you are an administrator, you have the option to switch between accounts. This section also has the two types of Filters you can use, and all the other buttons and menus to control the main calendar view.
Refer to the following breakdown of the menus and buttons you can see on the Top Menu Bar:
The Top Menus consist of the File, Edit, View, and Help options. The only menu item here that you would normally use is the Edit > Options > Calendar if you want to make some changes on the Main Calendar View, see Calendar Edit Preferences for more details.
