4 Overview The most fundamental change made to the previous Navigator user interface is the increased flexibility to personally organize your dashboard application views or apps with individual tagging and categorization features. In addition, there is a master search bar to quickly and easily find your Apps. There is no limitation to the amount of dashboard App views you can create. All of the Apps can be accessed directly from the homepage, which can be accessed via the icon. Furthermore, Apps and App group categories can be added to your favorites which appear in the primary header bar. Page 4

5 Primary navigation The previous Navigator user interface had a fixed primary navigation to display the different groupings of dashboard application views. These are referred to as app groups. Previous Primary Navigation With the new Navigator user interface, primary navigation can be used to display any apps or app groups that you have marked as a favorite. New primary navigation Page 5
