Navigating Console
Console has a clean layout built around your selected class. Here’s a map of every area so you know where everything is.
Top Navigation
Section titled “Top Navigation”The top navigation bar is always visible and contains:
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ilmiya logo | Returns you to the Console home (dashboard) |
| Organization name | Shows the active organization — click to switch |
| Class selector | Dropdown to switch between your classes |
| Notifications bell | Real-time notifications for new messages, discussions, and support cases |
| Profile menu | Access your profile settings and sign out |
Class Selector
Section titled “Class Selector”The class selector in the header is the most important control in Console. All data — analytics, discussions, messages — is scoped to whichever class is selected here.
- Click the selector to see all your classes
- Select a class to load its data
- Select Organization view (if available for your role) to see org-wide data
→ See Spaces for more detail on switching between classes.
Main Navigation
Section titled “Main Navigation”The left sidebar or top nav links give you access to all Console sections:
| Section | What it is |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Real-time analytics for the selected class |
| Inbox | Discussions, student messages, and support requests |
| Logs | Full audit trail of organization activity |
| Spaces | Class/space selector and management |
Breadcrumb Navigation
Section titled “Breadcrumb Navigation”As you navigate deeper — for example into a specific discussion channel or message thread — breadcrumbs appear at the top showing your current path. Click any breadcrumb to jump back to that level.
Example:
Inbox → Discussions → Science Q&A Channel → Post: "Question about osmosis"Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”The notification bell in the top navigation shows real-time alerts for:
- New student messages
- New discussion posts in channels you manage
- New support ticket activity
- Other organization events
Click the bell to open the notifications panel and see all recent alerts. Unread notifications are highlighted.
Real-Time Updates
Section titled “Real-Time Updates”Console uses live WebSocket connections to stream data updates without requiring a page refresh. When student activity changes — new engagement data, new messages — the dashboard and inbox update automatically.
