Console UI Overview

Learn how to navigate the Synnax console UI.

Important Tabs

The Synnax Console has several important properties in it. First, there are four main tabs that can be opened from the side. These are the Resources, Ranges, and Visualizations tabs.

Resources

The Resources tab list a file tree with folders for channels, ranges, users, and workspaces.

• Channels are the sensor channels that you can track and plot.
• Ranges are saved times that you can use when loading data to view.
• Users are a list of all users registered in the cluster. The workspaces created by the users can be found underneath their name.
• Workspaces list all created workspaces in the cluster. This tree includes workspaces created by all users.

Ranges

You can view and create active ranges on the right by clicking the Ranges icon. More information about ranges are covered in Querying Data Using Ranges.

Visualization Properties

When you have a visualization open, such as a Schematic or Line Plot, you can open the visualization properties by clicking the Visualize icon in the bottom-right. This allows you to show or hide visualization properties for a cleaner view.

Clusters

The list of clusters that you are connected to is found by clicking on the Cluster icon in the bottom-right. This opens up a list of all available clusters. You can add new clusters from here. Also, you can switch your current active cluster. The text in the corner indicates whether you are connected, disconnected, or have a failed connection with the cluster. More information about clusters can be found in the page about connecting a cluster.
