The enaio® coLab user interface consists of the main navigation and the workspace.

Main Navigation

Depending on the selected menu type, the main navigation is located on the left or above the workspace. Thanks to the different menu types, you can choose between static, dynamic, and minimalist main navigations (see Customizing the User Interface).

The main navigation consists of the following areas:

Click the logo in the header area of the main navigation to take you back to the Project rooms icon 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 icon enaio® logotype (Static and Overlay menu types) or the enaio® logo - icon 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 page icon 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 icon Project rooms home screen (see 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 icon Project rooms home screen.
