Top bar ​

  • Search — global search across all entities (≥ 2 characters). Results are grouped by type. Ctrl + Shift + F (⌘ + Shift + F on macOS) puts the cursor into the field.
  • Quick navigation — a window listing menu items: Ctrl + K (⌘ + K on macOS) or the button in the bar. Typing filters the items, ↑ ↓ select, Enter opens, Esc closes.
  • Bell 🔔 — incoming notifications. A red badge shows the number of unread items.
  • Avatar / name — go to your profile, switch theme, log out.

Left menu ​

The menu consists of two parts.

Dynamic items ​

Every entity you create (for example "Tickets," "Customers," "Employees") can get its own menu item — the administrator configures the list and icon in the Menu section (admin/menu). This is the menu that regular users see.

"Application Management" section (administrators only) ​

Home page (dashboard) ​

The home page shows the tabs configured for your role. Each tab is an entity list, a dashboard, or a calendar.

To configure your tabs: Profile → Dashboard.

Record lists ​

Opening any section shows a table list. Capabilities:

  • Search box at the top — quick filtering across all columns
  • Click a row — open the record
  • "Create" button — new record (if you have permission)
  • Filter icon in the column header — advanced filtering
  • Sorting by clicking a column header
  • Export to CSV via the table menu

Record card ​

Opening a record shows:

  • A form with all fields — edit right here
  • "History" tab — all changes to the record (who, what, when), see Audit Log
  • "Tasks" tab — active process tasks for this record
  • Related records — if relations between entities are configured
  • Attached files

Quick actions in the table ​

Many fields can be edited directly in the table, without opening the record card — this is called inline editing. Just click the cell.
