Dashboard

The dashboard is the start page after signing in. It has one job: to get you into the right module quickly. Everything it shows is also reachable from the sidebar – the dashboard just presents the same destinations as large, easy targets.

The dashboard with its module tiles

The tiles

Each tile leads to a module. Which tiles appear depends on two things: your organisation's plan and your role in the project. Modules your plan does not include are not shown at all.

Tile	Chapter
Dashboard	this page
Network map	Network map
Actors	Actors
Attributes	Attributes
Survey statistics	Survey results
Online questionnaire	Online questionnaire
Import actors	Import
Import relations	Import
Export	Export
Define input masks	Input masks

The sidebar on the left stays with you throughout the application.

The sidebar with the project switcher

From top to bottom:

Element	Function
☰ (burger)	Show and hide the menu
❮	Narrow the menu to icon width
Project tile	Shows the active project and, below it, the organisation; a click leads to the project list
Module list	The modules in fixed order
Documentation	Opens this manual
Logout	Sign out

The project tile is the most important element in the whole interface. Almost every module works exclusively with the data of the project named there: the actor table shows its actors, the import writes into it, the network map draws its relations. A glance at it before every write action saves a lot of cleaning up.

The header and the language switch

Two elements sit at the top right of the dashboard: your user name as plain text, and next to it the language switch. The button is labelled with the language it switches to – if it says Deutsch, the interface is currently in English.

The language switch exists only here. The other modules do not have it, so to change the language you go to the dashboard first. The choice then holds for the whole session.

Note: the switch only affects the interface. Your own data – attribute names, attribute values, question texts – stay in the language you created them in. And some modules are labelled in English regardless; see the introduction.

For your user account – login name, email address, password – go to the Profile module; the name in the header is not a link.

When no project is active

If you have no project yet, or your last one has been archived, MyNetworkmap redirects you to the project list. Only a few modules work without an active project, because they operate across projects:

All other modules need a project and send you back there otherwise.
