Console navigation

The console's sidebar and header frame every screen. This page explains what they contain and how to use them.

The sidebar

The sidebar lists the console's screens:

The item for the screen you are on is highlighted, and the lockup at the top of the sidebar always returns you to the Dashboard: click it from any screen.

The sidebar can be wide (an icon and a name for every item) or narrow (icons only):

  1. Hover the sidebar edge to reveal its toggle, the chevron button labelled Expand sidebar or Collapse sidebar.
  2. Click it to switch between the wide and the narrow form.
  3. In the narrow form, hover an icon to see the item's name in a tooltip.

The console remembers your choice in this browser.

The header

The header names the screen you are on, and carries the controls that stay visible on every screen: the platform guarantees and the company switcher. For a map of every screen, and who can open it, see Console screens, access and errors.

Switch company

The header's right side shows the company you are working in: a small Company label above the company's name.

A switch is confirmed with Company switched. If it does not complete, the console reports Switch failed and you can try again. The company's own details (name, region, billing emails) are on Settings.

Platform guarantees

Next to the company switcher sit two buttons that state DataMind Platform's guarantees. Each opens a short popover:

Your user menu

At the bottom of the sidebar sits your user menu: your avatar with your name and email. When the sidebar is narrow, the name and email move inside the menu. It holds:

Password rules, sign-out and switching between the companies you belong to are on Your account and sessions.

Questions, answered

Why can I only see icons in the sidebar?

The sidebar is in its narrow form, icons only. Hover an icon to see the item's name in a tooltip, or hover the sidebar edge and click Expand sidebar to bring the names back. The console remembers the choice in this browser.

I belong to one company. Why is there no switcher in the header?

With a single company, the header shows its name as a plain label; there is nothing to switch to. The Switch company menu appears once you belong to more than one company.

When does the company menu show a search box?

When the list holds five or more companies. Below that, the whole list fits at a glance. If a search matches nothing, the menu reads No companies found.

How do I change between light and dark mode?

Open your user menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Dark mode or Light mode. The item always shows the mode you will switch to.

Is my light or dark choice remembered?

Yes. It is saved in this browser, and other open console tabs switch with it. Until you pick a mode, the console follows your device's light or dark setting.

How do I get back to the Dashboard from anywhere?

Click the lockup at the top of the sidebar; it always returns to the Dashboard. The Dashboard item in the sidebar does the same.

What are Zero Completion and Zero Data Retention in the header?

Two buttons that state DataMind Platform's guarantees: Zero Completion Insurance (you are not charged for zero token responses) and Zero Data Retention (your data is not stored). Open either one for the full wording; both are described above.
