Top Navigation Bar¶
The top navigation bar consists of several parts, which are summarized below.
Workspace selector¶
The name of the user active workspace is shown on the left side of the navigation bar. By default, this corresponds to the user personal workspace:
By clicking on the UCloud logo on the top-left corner, the user is always redirected to the dashboard of the active workspace.
Note
On UCloud it is possible to create and join a special type of workspace, called project workspace, intended for collaborative research and development.
Search box¶
In the middle of the navigation bar the user finds a search box.
The search function depends on the currently open UCloud page:
If on the Files main page the search function will search for the drive names. Inside drives/folders it will search for filenames.
If on the Shares page the search function will search for files and applications.
If on the Resources page the search function will look for public IPs, public links, software licenses or SSH keys, depending on currently selected tab.
If on the Apps page the search function will search for applications.
If on the Runs page the search function will look for submitted jobs.
Settings and notifications¶
On the right side of the navigation bar the user finds four icons:
The refresh icon can be used to refresh the central dashboard.
The support-form icon chat allows users to send suggestions or report bugs.
Through the notification-service icon the user will receive notifications, for example, when another user has shared a file, on the status of an application grant, etc.
The user avatar icon permits to check the site status page, log out from the platform, and change the login settings, namely: updating the password and setting a two factor authentication method.
Finally, a temporary alert icon in the navigation bar will indicate upcoming downtime and scheduled maintenance.
Note
A temporary progress indicator also appears in the top of the page while uploading, copying or removing a large number of files. By clicking on this icon, the user can monitor the status until the operation is completed.
Two factor authentication¶
It is possible to set up two factor authentication by clicking on the avatar icon and selecting the settings option. Once the button
is pressed the user is guided step-by-step through the activation process.
