day, important email, and so forth. To see your executive
summary, click on the <guibutton>Executive Summary</guibutton>
button in the shortcut bar, or select the
<guilabel>executive-summary</guilabel> folder in the folder
bar.

The first thing you'll want to do with the executive summary
is add a service. Click the <guibutton>Add Service</guibutton>
button in the toolbar, then select one of the available
services. Services may vary depending upon your system, but
most installations will have at least the following options:
