New admin UI Sidebar

If an Administrator has enabled the new UI, a user will be able to enable the new UI for his/her user account (1).new_UI_rdy.png

To enable the new UI across your entire portal, review the steps in this guide. 

While the new UI is active, the sidebar will be available on the left on all pages that the Administrator can visit and can be retracted or expanded. To view the sidebar as a different type of user, check here: Instructor and Learner. 

Check out our video guide Discovering the new eFront sidebar.

The new sidebar

The sidebar can be expanded/retracted from the top-left corner (1).retract_rdy.png

It can be used to access all of eFront’s main features quickly, such as Users (2), Courses (3), Branches (4), Calendar (5), Automations (6), Reports (7), Plugins (8), System settings (9), Messages (10), and Announcements (11). Custom links created from the site builder, which appear after logging in, will also show up here.admin_dashboard_rdy.png

The sidebar can be used to quickly add a new user (12), a new course (13), or a new branch (14).add_admin_rdy.png
