Tour of the UI
This page walks through the main areas of the Novant interface so you know where to find things.
Where You Land
When you sign in, Novant takes you to your organization:
- One organization — you land on its project list.
- Several organizations — you land on My Organizations to choose one.
- No organization — you land on Shared Projects, the projects you’ve been invited to.
Switching Organizations
The organization menu in the top-right corner, next to Help, shows where you are. Open it to switch to another organization, view your Shared Projects, or create a New Organization.
Organization View
The organization view is where you manage your team and settings. The top navigation bar provides tabs for:
- Projects — all projects in your organization
- Members — everyone in your organization
- Settings — organization configuration (admin only)
Inside a Project
Once you open a project, the top navigation bar gives you access to every major area:
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Home | Dashboard overview with summary cards and quick links. |
| Zones | Manage operational groupings such as HVAC or lighting zones. |
| Spaces | Manage the physical layout — floors, rooms, and areas. |
| Assets | Manage equipment — AHUs, VAVs, meters, sensors, and other devices. |
| Sources | View and configure the devices and services your node connects to. |
| Blocks | Work with the block model that ties spaces, zones, assets, and sources together. |
| Trends | View and analyze historical point data. |
| Drive | File storage for project documents and attachments. |
| Explorer | Browse and discover devices and points on your network. |
| Settings | Configure project details, team access, nodes, credentials, and more. |
