Navigation Menu

The web interface is controlled from a collapsible sidebar on the left (not a top bar). It holds platform info, user account, settings, notifications, project selection, and links to every other page in the web interface.

Sidebar Header

  • Collapse/expand (dock icon) – toggles the sidebar between full width and icon-only (mini).

  • About (info icon) – opens a dialog with Slack, issue-tracker and documentation links, plus platform version information.

  • User (account icon, shown when logged in) – opens a menu with the current username and a Log Out action.

  • Settings (gear icon) – opens the settings dialog.

  • Dark mode toggle (lightbulb icon) – switches the interface theme; the setting is persisted per user.

  • Notifications (bell icon) – opens the notifications list; the icon changes to a ringing bell when unread notifications exist.

  • Project selector – a dropdown of the projects the current user belongs to. Archived projects are marked with an Archived chip. Switching projects reloads the interface and scopes subsequent views (data, workflows, active applications) to the selected project.

Menu Sections

  • Home – the interface’s landing page.

  • Workflows – links covered in the Workflows guide.

  • Extensions – covered in the Extensions guide.

  • Additional sections configured as external webpages, if any are enabled for the deployment.

Sidebar Footer

  • Help – opens the FAQ page in a new tab.

  • Log out – ends the current session.
