User Interface

Click the logo in the header area of the main navigation to take you back to the Project rooms home screen from any page in enaio® coLab.

The logo in the header of the main navigation can be customized by the coLab administrator. The  enaio® logotype (Static and Overlay menu types) or the  enaio® logo (other menu types) is stored by default.

Depending on the selected menu type, a different amount of information is shown in the home screen area. In the static and overlay menu types, the area is identified by the home screen lettering. In the slim, slim +, and horizontal menu types, you can recognize the area by the Home icon. In the uncover and drawer menu types, the area is not specially labeled.

In general, the home screen area contains a link to the Project rooms home screen.

The project room area in the main navigation is only shown if you previously selected a project on the Project rooms home screen. The label of the project room area (in the static, overlay, uncover, drawer, and horizontal menu types) provides you information on the project room that is currently shown in the main navigation. The following links to the various areas of a project room are shown in the project room area:
