Supported side menu layouts

CluedIn features a side navigation menu on the left that helps you navigate between the main modules of the platform.

Initially, the menu consisted of all platform modules categorized into expandable groups. With this approach, there was no prioritization of modules based on how frequently they are used. Eventually, a new menu was introduced, taking prioritization into account.

By default, the new side layout menu is enabled, but you can switch to the old menu whenever needed.

The side menu layout applies at the organization level, and not for individual users.

New side menu layout

The new side menu layout consists of the following elements.

1. Action center – the Create button redirects to a page with most commonly used actions (related to ingestion, preparation, and other).

2. Search bar (applies to the side menu only).

3. Home page.

4. Frequently used modules – contain direct links to most frequently used modules of ClueIn.

   Hovering over a frequently used module displays brief information about the module, as well as statistics about the number of items in that module (total number of items, as well as the items with the largest count).

   

5. Other modules – contain links to all modules of CluedIn, categorized into collapsible groups, such as Consume, Management, and so on.

Old side menu layout

The old side menu layout consists of the following elements.

1. Action center – the Create button redirects to a page with most commonly used actions (related to ingestion, preparation, and other).

2. Home page.

3. Links to all modules of CluedIn, categorized into groups, such as Ingestion, Preparation, and so on.
