+The landing page of the RDMS web portal consists of three main sections; the Menu, browser, and the content of the selected menu item. By hovering over the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_question_button.png?direct&20|}} button on the Menu bar you will see all the menu items that are available to you. Clicking on the icons in the Menu will let you navigate to the relevant browser and content page of the item you selected. By default, the landing page of the Web interface is set to be the ''Data Browser'' for all users (see figure above).
-{{ :rdms:webapp:landing_page1.png?direct& |}}
+Because the ''Data Browser'' is your landing page, we will explain what you are seeing in a bit more detail. The green box in the figure above is the browser of the Menu item. In this case, it is a directory browser allowing you quick access to your files and folder in the RDMS. You can reveal and hide the directory browser by using the {{:rdms:webapp:reveal.png?direct&20|}} and {{:rdms:webapp:hide.png?direct&20|}} buttons in the Menu bar, respectively. Depending on what permissions you have in given parts of the RDMS, you might not be able to see data or folders inside the ''Projects'' and ''Team drives'' environments. How to gain access to such environments will be explained in their corresponding pages of the Wiki.
+To the right of the directory browser, you will find the area that shows the content of the currently selected section of the RDMS. For example, if you select ''My folder'', you will see the current files and folders under that location. In this part of the interface, you will also be able to reveal another window further to the right side. This window can be used to see general information about the selected file, information about the permissions assigned on it, and information about sharing options. This view is not always shown and you can reveal it only by selecting the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_info_button.png?direct&20|}} button from the interface. The button highlighted in the figure below will show information on the current directory, while selecting the button to the side of a folder or file name will display information on the selected file or folder.

+Finally, we display the entire Menu below along with the label for the different icons you see. Please note that, depending on your role as a user, you might not see all the Menu items shown in the figure.

+For a quick access to the explanation of the different Menu items, please refer to the list below. If you see no link to a wiki page, it means that that Menu item has no section in our Wiki, yet:

-The landing page of the RDMS web portal (Figure 1) consists of three main sections; the Menu, browser and the content of the selected menu item. By hovering over the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_question_button.png?direct&20|}} button on the Menu bar (Figure 2) you will see all the menu items that are available for you. You can navigate through various Menu items of the web portal, such as ''Data browser'', ''Search'' or ''Metadata Template Settings''. By default, the landing page of the Web portal will look like as in shown in Figure 1 for all users; meaning that the content of the ''Data browser'' will be present. Note that, depending on your role as a user you might not see all the Menu items shown in Figure 2.

-If the ''Data browser'' is selected, the browser section will be a directory browser (Figure 1). There, you will find an overview of the different environments (if you have necessary permission as a user) such as ''Projects'', ''Team drives'' or ''My folder'' that can be used for easy navigation. The directory browser can be revealed or hidden by using the {{:rdms:webapp:reveal.png?direct&20|}} and {{:rdms:webapp:hide.png?direct&20|}} buttons, respectively.
-Next to the directory browser, you will find the area that shows the content of the currently selected drive. For example, if you select ''My folder'' (Figure 1), you will see the current files and folders under that location.  Or, if you select the ''Search'' item from the Menu, then you will see the [[rdms:webapp:search|search]] window.
-In the ''Data browser'', you will also be able to reveal another window to the right side of the interface. This window can be used to see general information about the selected file, information about the permissions, and information about sharing option. This view is not always shown and it can be revealed only by selecting the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_info_button.png?direct&20|}} button from the interface (Figure 3).
