Navigating the Interface

• 5 min to read •

Syxsense is a cloud-hosted solution, that requires neither installation of any kind, nor special browser plugins to work. It functions best on Google Chrome on any endpoint, be it a PC or mobile device.

The navigation interface is super simple, and it allows you to design workflows with a no-code drag-n-drop interface in minutes. As Syxsense shows the freshest data about what happens in the environment in real-time, it doesn't require a refresh feature. Any tabs can be closed and reopened.

The console is totally safe as it has multifactor authentication. To make authentication as easy as possible, Syxsense can be integrated into a single sign-on.

The main features of the software are placed on the left side of the console window. When you click on one of the main features, the list of sub-items is opened to the right.

In the console, you may configure the column set of every spreadsheet selecting the information you want to see. To do that, you have to click the three points in the upper right corner of the spreadsheet window. You can also save the spreadsheet with the configured column set locally.

Note that some actions, like a task creation, need to be saved, while others, like data deletion or archiving, need confirmation to be processed.

To make your navigation in Syxsense software straightforward, we've created a table explaining the meaning of each button and linking to the articles where you can find out more about their possibilities.
