User Dashboard

When a user logs into EnterWorks using the New UI they are taken to the User Dashboard (also referred to simply as Dashboard) of one of the user groups they belong to. If a user has more than one Dashboard, they can switch to the Dashboard of their choice.

If the use of personal User Dashboards is enabled, the user will be taken to their personal User Dashboard. Personal User Dashboards can be customized by adding or deleting widgets, then saving the Dashboard layout.

The screen has the following main areas:

  • Feature Sidebar

  • Activity Bar

  • Main View Area

More details about the various EnterWorks displays and their functions are described in subsequent sections of this document.

Tab Bar

The Tab Bar is the top bar in the New UI. The features on it change according to the tab being viewed.

The features that appear on your Tab Bar vary according to how your EnterWorks system is configured. The available features, from left to right, are:

  • Features Sidebar icon : Opens the Features Sidebar.

  • Text Search box: Locates the indicated text in active repositories, records, and widgets. Search is described more thoroughly in Searches and Filters.

  • Dashboard tab : Returns to the User Dashboard.

  • Navigation tabs: The tabs that appear here allow you to switch between functional views. The active tab is highlighted.

  • User Name: The name of the user.

  • Language selector: Allows you to choose the language used in the user interface.

  • Refresh icon : Refresh the Dashboard.

    Warning: Refreshing the Dashboard will cause it to revert to the last saved layout. If you have made changes to the Dashboard that you would like to retain, click the Save Layout button before refreshing the Dashboard.

  • Impersonate icon : Users with sufficient permissions can impersonate a different user role.

  • Profile icon : Allows the user to view their User Name or to log out.

  • UI Performance Indicator : This indicator provides running averages of the number of requests the New UI makes to the server and the server’s response speed.

    The number of dots indicates the number of concurrent requests the UI is making.

    • One dot if there are 0-3 requests.

    • Two dots if there are 4-6 requests.

    • Three dots if there are more than 6 requests.

    Six requests is the limit most browsers will perform.

    The color of the dots indicates the speed that the requests are being returned, averaged over 4-5 seconds:

    • Green: up to 500ms

    • Yellow: up to 1000ms

    • Red: over 1000ms

Activity Bar

The Dashboard’s Activity Bar lists functions that can be performed on the contents of the opened tab. These activities are described in detail in the sections relating to their functional use. The Activity Bar contains different objects according to the contents of the tab.

The EnterWorks Enable About Us screen will appear. The version of EnterWorks is listed under the header titled Build Number.

Note: When you submit a support ticket, it is helpful to note the version of EnterWorks you are utilizing. Patches may come frequently and any issue that is identified may have been addressed in a recently released version.

Select a Dashboard

To switch to a different Dashboard, open the Dashboard Selector dropdown list in the far left of the Activity Bar. A list of Dashboards available to you will be displayed. Select the desired Dashboard.
Note: The user retains all the permissions granted to them, from all their user groups, no matter which Dashboard they are viewing. For example, if the user belongs to the Project Management user group and the Sales user group, they will always have all the permissions granted to the Project Management user group and the Sales user group, no matter which Dashboard they are viewing.
