Understanding the User Interface

When you first log in to TR Discovery, you will see the default dashboard view. This view will change as you navigate the system, but two elements will always be available: the Universal Banner and the Left-Hand Navigation Pane.

Universal banner

The Universal Banner runs along the top of the screen. The first button in the far left is the ThingsRecon logo. Clicking it will take you to a new page, from which you can navigate between projects (for Admins only).

You can also navigate between projects using the drop-down menu next to this logo. Your account name and the name of the project you have currently selected will show here.

The next icon shows how many jobs are currently running; the number in the centre will change to reflect this. Click the icon to see a pop-up with more information about the status of jobs currently running or which have previously run.

The final icon on the left-hand side of the banner is used to start a scan. For more information, see the Running a Scan guide.

The first item on the right-hand side of the banner is the user's profile menu. This is where you can change user information and log out of the platform.

The final item on the banner is a language drop-down menu. Click here to change the default language across the platform.

Module navigation pane

TR Discovery comprises five modules, which you can access through the navigation pane on the far left of the screen.

Top to bottom, the icons in this navigation pane represent the modules:

• Dashboard – Where you can see an aggregation of key insights from discovery scans and timeline-based comparisons
• Settings – Where you can manage business units, project information, members, and reports
• Jobs – Where you can see if scans have successfully completed, how long they took and why they might not have achieved the desired outcomes
• Scan – Where you can add items to a work queue and add, remove, or change other scan parameters
• Exports – Where you can manage all reports that have been created using the platform's extensive filtering options, as well as utilizing the comparison or delta functionality.

Click the icons to switch between different modules as you need different functionalities.
