User Interface

In this section, discover the User Interface of neanex' System Engineering tool

Look & Feel

The interface is divided into three areas: top, left; right (same display throughout the tool):

  • Top of the screen: A ribbon showing colored Buttons enabling the user to navigate from one module to another.

  • Left area: An overview screen displaying general information related to the selected module

  • Right area: A detail screen showing information related to the item selected in the left area

Follow this process to efficiently navigate in Relatics:

1. Select the appropriate module from the ribbon (top of the screen)

2. Select a topic within this module (left screen)

3. Navigate through the detailed information related to the selected topic (right screen)

Furthermore, quick access links are available at two different places:

  • In the left area, above the overview screen (menu shortcuts)

  • In the ribbon, the module buttons display a drop down list (when the cursor is on the button)

User rights

As it is not necessary/useful for every user to have access to the entirety of the data stored on Relatics, users have specific rights to view/modify data depending on their role in the project. (Please contact your system administrator in order to adapt your access)
