Unifier User Interface Left Navigation
The left Navigation (or left Sidebar, or Navigation) lists all of the nodes (or modules) that are available for a company, program, shell, or project.
Note: Your Navigator setup may differ, but the basic functionality will be the same.
Your company administrator can configure the User mode Navigator (Company Workspace > Admin mode > Configuration > User Mode Navigator) to better suit the company business needs.
Example
Creating additional nodes to store business process records, renaming nodes, and so on.
Every module, feature, and record in Unifier can be accessed by way of the Navigator, which is always available in the left-hand pane of the Unifier screen. The Navigator is similar to a folder system, much like a network drive. Each feature is stored in its own "node," similar to a folder. Each node is controlled by permissions. If you do not see a feature in the Navigator, contact your project or shell Administrator or Company Administrator to verify that you have been assigned the proper access permissions.
As you access different nodes (modules) on the left-hand Navigator, the Navigator remains available on the left of the screen, while the content frame on the right changes.
Unifier User Interface Screen Adjustments
The screen adjustments section of the interface contains the following elements, from left to right:
- Collapse Sidebar
- Expand Navigation
- Collapse Navigation
Use the Expand Navigation or Collapse Navigation icons at the bottom of the Navigator pane to expand or collapse all the nodes (modules) in the Navigator.
Unifier User Interface Log
This right pane displays all of the information pertaining to the nodes (or modules) that are available for a company, program, shell, or project. The right-hand pane houses the logs. Additional functions are available from the options and links at various parts of the logs.
On top, below the company, shell, and project tabs, the locator links (breadcrumbs) are displayed. The locator links:
- Enable you to follow the path to the current location
- Always include home
Click the drop-down arrow of a locator link (breadcrumb) to reveal the direct children or sub-shells of that location.
Even if you do not have permission to access a shell, the shell name appears in the breadcrumb trail.
See the following topics for details on each static element, listed above.
