| | The landing page of the RDMS Web interface contains three main sections: the navigation menu, the directory browser, and the content area. Hover over the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_question_button.png?direct&20|}} button in the menu bar to view the menu items available to you. Select a menu icon to open the corresponding browser and content page. By default, the Web interface opens the "Data Browser" for all users (see the figure above). |

| 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). | The green box in the figure above marks the directory browser. It provides quick access to your files and folders in the RDMS. Use the {{:rdms:webapp:reveal.png?direct&20|}} and {{:rdms:webapp:hide.png?direct&20|}} buttons in the menu bar to show or hide the directory browser. Depending on your permissions, you may not see entries under "Projects" and "Team Drives". For information about gaining access to these environments, see [[..:solution:team|RDMS Team Drives]] and [[..:solution:projects|RDMS Projects and Archives]]. |
| |
| 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. | The content area to the right of the directory browser displays the contents of the selected RDMS location. For example, when you select "My folder", it displays the contents of your personal home folder. Use the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_info_button.png?direct&20|}} button to show or hide additional information and options. |
| |
| 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. | You can use the information panel to: |
| |
| {{ :rdms:webapp:landingpage2.png?direct&850 | }} | * View general information about the selected files and folders. |
| | * View and edit associated [[..:metadata:metadatawebportal|metadata]]. |
| | * View the current [[..:data:permissions|permissions]]. |
| | * [[..:data:sharing|Share data]] with other RDMS users. |
| |
| 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. | The button highlighted in the figure below displays information about the current folder. The button next to a file or folder displays information about that specific item. |
