Navigation Refresh

The Admin Application has a new navigation model. The pages and data are the same, but the page furniture around them moved: titles and tab strips gave way to a dropdown breadcrumb at the top of every page, and details that used to live on their own pages now open in a side panel without taking you away from your list. This page shows the old and new side by side, so you can find anything that moved.

Nothing was renamed in your data. Connections, pipelines, entities, groups, and settings all keep their names and values. The changes here are to layout and navigation only, except where explicitly noted.

The short version

If you used to…	Now…
Read the page title to know where you are	Read the breadcrumb at the top left
Click an underlined tab strip	Click the last breadcrumb crumb and pick from its menu
Go back to a list to switch connection, pipeline, or group	Click that name in the breadcrumb and pick another, with a search box
Open a pipeline’s Statistics page	Click Insights on the entities list
Open a pipeline’s History page	Click History on any pipeline page

Two sidebar items were shortened, and the Pipelines icon changed.

Sidebar with Data Connections and Data Pipelines — Before

Data Connections is now Connections
Data Pipelines is now Pipelines

Connections

The connections list

The page title and the tab strip are gone. Search moved up into the same row as New Connection, which leaves noticeably more room for your connections.

Connections list with a large title, breadcrumb, and tab strip — Before

Connections list with a breadcrumb and a single search row — After

The Collection, Emission, and Schedules tabs are now in the breadcrumb. Click Collection to switch between them.

Collection breadcrumb menu open showing Collection, Emission, and Schedules — The old tab strip is now a breadcrumb menu

Connector health at a glance

New: click Overview in the top right for a summary of your whole connection fleet, one bar per connector, coloured by health, with counts and a short summary underneath.

Overview panel showing 46 connectors with active, error, and inactive counts — New Overview panel

The panel opens beside your list rather than on top of it, so you can keep working with the table while it is open.

Searching connections

Search works the same way and still matches both the connection name and its data source. Two things improved: results no longer re-query on every keystroke, and the term in the address bar is now a short, shareable ?search= value.

Connections list filtered to five Aderant results — Before

Connections list filtered to the same five results — After

A single connection

The connection name is no longer a heading; it is the middle crumb in the breadcrumb. The five tabs became a menu on the last crumb, and the actions moved into the top-right corner.

Connection detail with a title and five underlined tabs — Before

Connection detail with breadcrumb menus and top-right actions — After

Tables breadcrumb menu open showing all five connection views — Tables, Collection, Emission, Auth, and Access Control are now one menu

Views that do not apply to a connection are now left out of the menu instead of appearing greyed out. If a connection is inactive, you will not see Access Control listed.

Jumping between connections

New: the connection name in the breadcrumb is a searchable switcher. You no longer need to return to the list to open a different connection. Each entry shows a status dot, and the data source in parentheses where it differs from the name.

Connection switcher listing connections with status dots — Every connection, with status

Connection switcher filtered to two iManage connections — Type to narrow the list

Jobs and settings without leaving the page

Two new panels open from the top-right of a connection. Jobs shows what is running now or what ran last, counts by state, and the most recent runs. View all jobs opens the full job history.

Jobs panel with completed, errored, scheduled, and running counts — New Jobs panel

Settings summarises the collection configuration as read-only text, so you can check a value without opening the editor. View full settings opens the editor when you do want to change something.

Settings panel showing type, data retention, deletion, sync, and rate limit — New Settings panel

Finding a table or field quickly

The old Quick navigate to resource box in the header is now a search palette. Open it with the magnifier in the top right, or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows).

Resource search palette with keyboard hints — Opening the palette

Palette showing two invoice tables as results — Searching the whole schema

The palette searches the entire schema, not just the page you are looking at, so you can jump straight to a table that is several pages deep.

Your filters and search on a connection’s resource and field lists are now remembered when you switch tabs and come back.

Pipelines

The pipelines list

Same change as connections: no page title, no tab strip, and search sits with Create Pipeline. Switch between Pipelines and Catalog Queries from the first crumb.

Pipelines list with a title and a two-tab strip — Before

Pipelines list with a breadcrumb and search row — After

Opening a pipeline goes straight to its entities

Opening a pipeline used to land on a screen where you picked Silver before you could do anything. That step is gone: you now land directly on the Silver entities list.

Pipeline landing page with a Silver card — Before: pick Silver first

Silver entities list with Insights, History, and Run Pipeline — After: straight to the entities

The breadcrumb now shows which pipeline and layer you are in, so you always have a way back up without using the browser button.

Old links still work. A bookmark to a pipeline, or to /silver, now forwards to the entities list.

Running a pipeline

Run Pipeline used to live on the Statistics page, which meant opening a pipeline, choosing a layer, and then switching tabs before you could start a run. It is now in the top right of the entities list, the page you land on. It also asks for confirmation before starting, naming the pipeline it is about to run.

Run pipeline dialog naming the Main pipeline with Cancel and Run Pipeline — New confirmation step

Statistics is now Insights

The Statistics page became the Insights panel, which opens beside your entity list instead of replacing it. The four counters and the pipeline status block carry over unchanged, and recent runs are summarised with a link to the full job history.

Statistics page with counters, pipeline status, and an entity table — Before: the Statistics page

Insights panel with the same counters and pipeline status — After: the Insights panel

History

Pipeline history moved into a History panel available from any pipeline page, and it is aware of where you are: on a list it shows the pipeline’s history, and on an entity it shows just that entity’s history.

Reverting works as before; the confirmation steps now happen inside one window rather than a chain of dialogs.

Entity pages

On an entity, the Editor, Fields, Data Lineage, and Access Control tabs are now a menu on the last crumb, and the entity name itself is a searchable switcher for moving between entities. The entity’s History tab is now the History panel described above.

Instance Settings

The settings cards

The cards are unchanged. Three of them, Data Encryption, Timezone, and Log Analytics Retention, now open in a window over the grid instead of replacing the page.

Instance settings with a large title — Before

Instance settings with a breadcrumb — After

These three now have their own links, so you can bookmark or share one directly. It opens with the card grid still behind it.

Timezone dialog open over the instance settings grid — A shareable link to one setting

Firewall settings

All firewall functionality is unchanged. The Data Sources and System tabs moved into the breadcrumb, Apply Changes moved to the end of the breadcrumb row, and Add Data Source now sits beside a full-width search box.

Firewall settings with breadcrumb crumbs and a wide search box — After

Which tab you are on is now part of the address, so you can link straight to the System tab.

Network Connections

Network Connections is in the same place, reached from the Network Connections card in Instance Settings. It picked up the same chrome as the rest of the application: the page title gave way to a breadcrumb, and search moved into the row with Add Connection.

The Network Connections crumb is a menu, so you can jump straight to Firewall Settings from here. Your search term is now part of the address as well.

Users

The Users heading became a breadcrumb, and the generic search box became a labelled Search users box next to New User.

Users list with a breadcrumb and a labelled search box — After

Searching now updates the address bar properly, so your browser’s back button steps back through searches and a link to a filtered list opens already filtered.

Access Control

Groups and Users

The Groups and Actors tabs became a menu on the last crumb. Actors is now labelled Users throughout this area, including the empty states and dialogs that used to say “actor”.

Groups list with breadcrumb and Search groups box — The groups list

View menu open showing Groups and Users — Switching between the two

A single group

The group name is a searchable switcher, the member tabs became a menu, and the two tools in the corner now open beside the member list instead of covering it.

Group detail with a title, tab strip, and header buttons — Before

Group detail with breadcrumb menus and corner actions — After

Test Permissions and Explore Access were windows that covered the page. They are now panels, so you can read the member list and your test results at the same time.

Test Permissions panel with subject, entity, and resource fields — Test Permissions as a panel

Things to know

Unavailable options are hidden rather than greyed out

Where a tab used to appear greyed out with an explanation on hover, it is now simply absent from the menu. If you expect an option and cannot find it, check whether the connection is active and whether its prerequisites are met.

Panels open beside your work, not over it

On a wide screen, Insights, History, Jobs, Settings, and the Access Control panels narrow the page rather than covering it, so your list stays readable. On a narrower screen they slide over the content instead. They close when you navigate.

Keyboard shortcuts on lists

Ctrl+Space jumps to the search box on any list. On a connection’s resource pages, ⌘K opens the resource search palette.
