On a desktop sized screen, the platform interface consists of three, main sections:
The top navigation consists of a left and right section.
The left section of the top navigation includes links to the main information types in the platform.
These are:
By click on the one of the information types, a dropdown opens where you can either go the complete list of items, search for an item within the given type, or select an item from the list of items you've recently viewed:
The right section includes links to commonly triggered actions:
The left navigation changes dependent on the selected navigation item in the top navigation.
That means that depending on the selected top navigation item, you may see one of four different left menus:
The left colum has a header signifying what type of navigation which is currently displayed, and a background color representing that type. The background color matches the selected item in the top navigation.
The text beneath the header displays the navigation context, meaning the name of the team in a team context, the name of a project in a project context, etc.
A lot of the time, the left colum is longer than the allocated screen height, meaning that you need to scroll in the left colum in order to reach the bottom most navigation items.
If you find the left navigation distracting, or just want a larger working space, you can minimize the navigation by clicking the double arrows near the top of the navigation column.
This will narrow the column down to just the icons representing the menu items. Click the double arrows again to expand the column.
When the column is minimized, you can hover over the icons in order to have the menu items appear.
The content area changes based on the selected navigation item in the left navigation.
The header represents the name of the current page. If they current page is hierarchically positioned under another page, you can see the parent page in smaller text next to it.
