# Navigating Noreja

Find your way around Noreja: the top bar and what each area is for, where Noreja opens after you sign in, why your top bar may look different, your profile and the settings, and where to get help.

This page shows you around Noreja: the top bar and its areas, where Noreja opens after you sign in, your profile and the settings, and where to get help. For what Noreja does, see [Welcome to Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/welcome-to-noreja).

> **Permissions:** each area appears with its feature: **Dashboard**: **Read**, **Analyzer**: **Read**, **Workbench**: **Create**, **Builder**: **Read**, **AI Hub** with **Agent**, **Prompt** or **Context**: **Read**. The **Minerva-AI** switch needs **Chat**: **Create**. Something shared with you also opens its area. **My Profile**, the Help Center, **System** and **Trust Center**: everyone. The other settings: see the table under *The Settings Menu*. Customer admins see everything. See [Create and Edit Roles](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-and-edit-roles).

### The Top Bar at a Glance

The top bar is always at the top of the screen:

![The Noreja top bar with the logo, the areas Dashboard, Analyzer, Workbench, Builder and AI Hub, the Minerva-AI switch, and the buttons for help, settings and profile](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/a9831cd2-15b5-4d69-8e62-b70f3657f6dc)

-   **Logo**: takes you back to your start page. Your company can replace the Noreja logo with its own; see [Environment Settings: Branding, AI and Import](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/environment-settings-branding-ai-and-import).
-   **Areas**: **Dashboard**, **Analyzer**, **Workbench**, **Builder** and **AI Hub**. The area you're in is highlighted. Point at an area to see what it is for, for example *Analyze processes*.
-   **Minerva-AI**: opens or closes Minerva next to dashboards and the Analyzer.
-   **?**: opens the Help Center. See *Get Help* below.
-   **Settings** (gear icon): your profile and, depending on your roles, the administration and environment settings.
-   **Profile** (person icon): shows who is signed in, opens the Minerva chat page and has **Sign out**.

### What the Areas Are For

| Area | What you do there | Read more |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Dashboard** | See the key figures of a perspective at a glance, in widgets you arrange yourself. | [Create a Dashboard Tab](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-a-dashboard-tab) |
| **Analyzer** | Explore a perspective in depth: the process graph, single cases, patterns and timelines. | [Create an Analyzer Tab](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-an-analyzer-tab) |
| **Workbench** | Run your own analyses of the process data in Jupyter notebooks. | [Create and Use a Workbench (Jupyter Notebook)](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-and-use-a-workbench-jupyter-notebook) |
| **Builder** | Connect data sources and model entities and perspectives, the basis of every analysis. Its menu on the left has **Perspective**, **Entities** and **Sources**. | [From Data Source to Perspective: How the Builder Works and Who Does What](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/from-data-source-to-perspective-how-the-builder-works-and-who-does-what) |
| **AI Hub** | Set up how Minerva works, in the tabs **Agents**, **Skills & prompts**, **Context** and **Workspaces**. | [AI Hub: Agents, Skills, Prompts and Workspaces](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/ai-hub-agents-skills-prompts-and-workspaces) |

Dashboards and the Analyzer are organised the same way: the **Tab Explorer** on the left lists your tabs, the tab bar at the top shows the tabs you have open. See [Organise Your Analyses: Tab Explorer, Folders, Favorites and Subtabs](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/organise-your-analyses-tab-explorer-folders-favorites-and-subtabs).

### Minerva Next to Your Analysis

Switch on **Minerva-AI** to open Minerva next to the dashboard or analyzer tab you're looking at, so you can ask about it directly. Switch it off to close the panel. Noreja remembers the switch in your browser.

For the full chat page, with your earlier chats and workspace files, open the profile menu (person icon) and choose the Minerva chat entry (currently spelled *Minverva chat*). The chat page has no top bar; to come back, click the exit icon **Leave the chat** at the bottom of the chat list. See [Chat with Minerva](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/chat-with-minerva).

### Where You Start

After signing in, and whenever you click the logo, Noreja opens the first area your roles give you, in this order: **Dashboard**, **Analyzer**, **Builder**, **Workbench**. Customer admins start on the dashboard.

-   Users who may only chat with Minerva open Noreja on the chat page, without the top bar.
-   On a small screen, such as a tablet in portrait mode, Noreja opens the chat page for everyone who may chat with Minerva.
-   Areas that only appear because something was shared with you count only if you have no other area.

The first sign-in is described in [Sign In for the First Time](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/sign-in-for-the-first-time).

### Why Your Top Bar May Look Different

Which areas you see depends on your roles and on what colleagues have shared with you. A user who may only read, for example, sees no **Workbench** and no **Minerva-AI** switch:

![The top bar of a read-only user with Dashboard, Analyzer, Builder and AI Hub, without Workbench and without the Minerva-AI switch](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/e41cd9cb-8edc-4022-91b1-ce263c25520a)

-   **Workbench** appears for users who may create workbenches.
-   **Minerva-AI** appears for users whose role includes **Chat**: **Create**. With **Chat**: **Read** alone, you chat with Minerva on the chat page.
-   **AI Hub** appears with **Agent**, **Prompt** or **Context**; **Workspaces** alone doesn't show it.
-   An area can also appear because something in it was shared with you. If a colleague shares a perspective with you, for example, you see the **Builder** even if none of your roles includes it, and you can open what was shared with you there.
-   Customer admins see all areas.

If you miss an area you need, ask your Customer admin for the right role. For details, see [Access Management at Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/access-management-at-noreja).

In a narrower browser window, the areas turn into round icons; point at an icon to see its name and what it is for. On very wide screens, each area shows an icon next to its name.

![The top bar in a narrower window: the areas as round icons, with the tooltip Analyzer (Analyze processes) under the second icon](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/c296f2c1-7bf9-4602-8c66-0537b65b2e71)

### The Profile Menu

Click the person icon at the right of the top bar:

![The profile menu with Logged in as Admin, the entry Minverva chat and Sign out](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/076ad191-b38d-4f27-b993-0ed568f0745c)

-   **Logged in as** shows the first name of the account you're signed in with.
-   The Minerva chat entry opens the chat page. It appears if your roles include the chat.
-   **Sign out** signs you out of Noreja. On the chat page, click your name at the bottom of the chat list for **Dark mode** and **Sign out**.

Noreja also signs you out after a while without activity. Just sign in again.

### The Settings Menu

Click the gear icon (**Settings**). Noreja opens **My Profile**, with the settings menu on the left. What the menu contains depends on your roles. A Customer admin sees all entries (left); a process analyst, for example, sees only some of them (right):

![Two settings menus side by side. Left, a Customer admin's: Profile with My Profile; Authorizations with Users, User groups and Roles; Environment with Manage and Workbenches; Information with System, Theme and Trust Center. Right, a process analyst's: Profile with My Profile; Environment with Manage and Workbenches; Information with System and Trust Center](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/c818b3fd-b807-4385-956e-bd49488729a4)

| Entry | What it is for | Who sees it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **My Profile** | Your name, email, language and dark mode, and an overview of your access. See below. | Everyone |
| **Users** | Add, edit and re-invite users. See [Add a User](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/add-a-user). | Customer admins |
| **User groups** | Group users and give roles to a whole group. See [Manage User Groups](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/manage-user-groups). | Customer admins |
| **Roles** | Define which features and actions a role allows. See [Create and Edit Roles](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-and-edit-roles). | Customer admins |
| **Manage** | Company logo and colours, AI and import settings. See [Environment Settings: Branding, AI and Import](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/environment-settings-branding-ai-and-import). | Customer admins; with **Context**: **Edit** the AI settings only |
| **Workbenches** | The running workbench instances. See [Manage Workbench Instances](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/manage-workbench-instances). | **Workbench**: **Read**, Customer admins |
| **System** | The version of your installation, for support requests. See [System Information and Trust Center](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/system-information-and-trust-center). | Everyone |
| **Theme** | The colours and design elements of the interface, for reference. | Customer admins |
| **Trust Center** | Noreja's public Trust Center on security and data protection, in a new browser tab. | Everyone |

The entries are grouped under **Profile**, **Authorizations** (users, user groups, roles), **Environment** (**Manage**, **Workbenches**) and **Information**. How users, user groups and roles work together is explained in [Access Management at Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/access-management-at-noreja).

### My Profile

**My Profile** shows your account and what you may do in Noreja:

![My Profile of a process analyst: First name, Last name, User name, Email and Language; Assigned user groups with Process Analyst; Assigned roles with Analytics Power User; the table of features and actions; Style settings with Dark mode; the buttons Reset Password, Cancel and Save](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/c159f547-4f21-403e-aa46-1f4042eadc55)

-   **First name**, **Last name**, **Email**: you can change them yourself. The **User name** can't be changed.
-   **Language**: the language of Noreja, of the emails Noreja sends you and of the Help Center.
-   **Assigned user groups** and **Assigned roles**: what your Customer admin has given you. Only Customer admins can change them.
-   **Permissions table** (currently titled *Cumulative over-allocation of all assigned permissions*): which actions you have per feature, from all your roles and user groups together. For Customer admins, a note above it says that they have all permissions.
-   **Style settings**: the **Dark mode** switch.
-   **Reset Password**: the next time you sign in, Noreja asks you for a new password.
-   **Context access** (further down, if you may use the Context Hub): the Context Hub knowledge you have access to. See [Context Hub: Knowledge for Minerva](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/context-hub-knowledge-for-minerva).

Click **Save** to keep changes to your name, email and language. **Cancel** discards them.

#### Change the Language

Choose the **Language** in **My Profile**. Noreja switches to it at once, so you can see the result. Click **Save** to keep it; if you leave the page without saving, Noreja goes back to your previous language. The language is stored in your account, so it applies on every computer you sign in from.

#### Switch to Dark Mode

Under **Style settings**, switch **Dark mode** on or off. It takes effect at once, without **Save**. Dark mode is remembered in your browser, not in your account: on another computer or browser you choose it again. Until you choose, Noreja follows the light or dark setting of your operating system.

### Get Help

Click **?** in the top bar to open the **Help Center**. Click anywhere outside it to close it again.

![The Help Center with the search field and the sections Product Tours, Product Documentation and Release Notes](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/00b5b391-d33d-42b9-ba0e-fcd671fa4371)

-   **Search**: enter a question or a term and click the search icon. The Help Center shows a short summary generated from the documentation, followed by the matching articles and release notes.
-   **Product Tours**: guided tours that walk you through a screen step by step. Click a tour to start it. Which tours are listed can differ from user to user.
-   **Product Documentation**: opens the full documentation, with articles like this one, in a new browser tab.
-   **Release Notes**: what changed in each version, newest first. To see which version you're using, open **Settings** → **System**.

Below these sections, the Help Center can also show videos, such as an introduction to Minerva. The Help Center uses the language set in **My Profile**.

![Product Tours with the tours Welcome Tour and Dashboard: Widgets](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/462561d6-8193-485d-b1a4-73ece15de7dd)

On the dashboard, new users may also see an onboarding checklist with first steps, each of which starts a tour. The button below the checklist folds it into a small bar at the bottom left; click the bar to open it again.

#### Send Feedback

Click **Feedback** at the bottom of the Help Center to tell Noreja about a problem or an idea. Describe it in the text field, add a picture of the screen with **Attach screenshot** or a short recording with **Record video**, and click **Send**. If you'd like an answer, include your email address in the text.

![The form Send us your feedback with the text field, Attach screenshot, Record video and Send](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/a38842ce-7153-4964-9db5-889fac25c4f9)

#### Other Ways to Get Help

-   **Ask Minerva**: Minerva knows the Noreja documentation, so you can ask it questions such as *How do I share a dashboard with my team?* See [What Minerva Can Do](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/what-minerva-can-do).
-   **Missing access**: if you can't see an area or an item you need, ask your Customer admin. See [Access Management at Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/access-management-at-noreja).
-   **Problems**: when you report one, say what you did and where, and add the versions from **Settings** → **System** → **Copy all**. See [System Information and Trust Center](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/system-information-and-trust-center).
-   **Common questions**: see [General FAQ](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/general-faq).

The Help Center is opened from the top bar, so it isn't available on the chat page.
