Features

Here's a general overview of the Dashboard and its key features:

• Main Navigation
  In the minimized view of the main navigation, the most screen space is available for the active application, the hover tooltip shows the name of each application.

• Sub-menu for sub-functionalities
  For functionalities that have sub-functionalities, a menu appears when clicking the app's icon in the main navigation. Selecting one of the options or clicking outside of it dismisses the menu.

• Breadcrumbs
  The breadcrumb is displayed in the top bar. It indicates where the user is currently located in the navigation structure.

When there is an intermediate page for navigating to a lower level entity, such as in Experience Manager and Projects applications, users can click on the link of the intermediate page in the breadcrumbs to navigate. The link appears black and clickable. If there is no intermediate page, then the link will be gray and not clickable.

• Site context switching menu
  For Discovery related functionalities like Site search, Categories, brSEO, Pathways, Product audiences, Insights, and Setup, if the account has Multi-site setup, the user can use this menu to identify which Discovery site they are currently located at. You can also browse, search, or navigate to any Account, Site Group, or Site context within the account. The site context switching only applies to Discovery related functionalities (mentioned) but does not influence the context of Bloomreach Content functions such as Home, Experience manager, Projects, Content, Content audiences, Content reports, Extensions, and Setup.
