Navigating Vigilis

The sidebar

The left sidebar is organized into sections. Depending on your role and your organization’s plan, you may not see every one; if a section is missing, see Roles and permissions.

Sections can be collapsed to save room. Network, Operations, and Reports start collapsed. You can pin (favorite) any item to surface it at the top of the sidebar for quick access; your favorites are remembered on the device you are using. An icon-only collapse toggle shrinks the whole sidebar to its icons when you want more space for the page.

The sections you may see are:

The top bar

Every page has a top bar with:

• A sidebar toggle to collapse or expand the left navigation.
• A breadcrumb showing where you are.
• Global search (see below).
• A notification bell with an unread count that caps at “99+”. It refreshes about every minute, and opening it marks everything read.
• A ? keyboard-shortcuts button that opens the shortcut help.
• A Feedback button to reach your provider.

Global search

Press Cmd/Ctrl+K or click Search to open global search. Type between 2 and 100 characters and results stream in, grouped by type, up to 6 per group. When the box is empty, your recent searches (up to 5) show so you can jump back to them.

Search is scoped to your organization and covers nine kinds of records:

• Services
• Account Numbers
• Invoices
• Contracts
• Locations
• Tickets
• Projects
• Network Connections
• Phone Numbers

Keyboard shortcuts

Vigilis has a small set of global shortcuts:

• ? opens the shortcut help.
• Cmd/Ctrl+K opens global search.
• Esc closes a dialog.
• / focuses the list search box on a page.

List pages add their own “This page” shortcuts, which you can see in the same shortcut help.

Filtering tables and saving views

Every data table supports inline column filtering. You can filter by text, by a select list, by yes/no, or by a date range. A chips bar shows your active filters with a Clear all button, and a Columns menu lets you show or hide columns.

When you have a table set up the way you like, save it as a view. A view remembers its filters, sort, and columns so you can return to it later. Column widths are remembered per device, so the same view can look right on both your laptop and a larger monitor.
