To quickly navigate to the control panel sections, use the navigation menu, which is located to the left of the main table. It is a list of the control panel sections available to the user.

The menu has different states: Expand/Collapse menu, Main menu, Favorites, and Popular. The following switch buttons are available at the top of the menu.

  • Expand/Collapse menu —  use the button to hide the main menu to the left side of the screen;
  • Main menu — the full list of items available to the user;
  • Favorites — items you have added to your favorites list;
  • Popular — the most used items;
  • Search  — use menu search to quickly navigate through the items. Just type the first few characters of the item name to see it in the list.  

Main table (list of elements)

To perform an operation in the table, select one or multiple raws, and click the corresponding button on the toolbar. To select a group of elements, you can use the following buttons:

Ctrl — select a number of raws. 
Shift —  to select a group of elements, click the first item, press and hold down the Shift key, and then click the last item.

Many buttons on the panel may be inactive. This means that the action does not apply to that item. After the items in the table are selected, the buttons become active. Under certain circumstances, buttons may remain inactive. In some cases, you can read the reasons in the tooltip of the button.

In the User settings module, you can change the number of rows displayed per page. This will help you work with tables containing too many raws.

Clicking the names of the raws will sort data in the table. Information can be sorted out by one or multiple columns.

At the bottom of the table, you can see statistical information about the table's elements. If no raws are selected, information is displayed for all the raws, otherwise — only for the selected elements.
