User Interface

The web-based user interface consists of different windows that can be freely configured in terms of their arrangement.

In the delivery state, the windows are arranged as shown in the picture below. Thus, it is only used to display and explain the individual window components and their designations.

An action menu belonging to a function is described according to the delivery status. If required, it can be configured individually via the App.JSON.

Side panel (1)

When the application is launched, the left side panel contains tabs that provide access to the following components:

Tabs	Components
Start Page	Quick access to the frequently used function •Identify •Planning Manager •Printing This area can be customized.
Planning Manager	Management, search and creation of Planning Projects.
Layers	Overview of all available layers in the project with the following functions: •Add layers from a collection from the portal, a CSV/XLSX file, or a shapefile to the project •Control of the sequence, visibility as well as the transparency of layers on the map •Layer slider to compare layers directly in the map •Zoom functions to full extent or visible scale of the layer, switch labels on or off, edit style of layers.
Legend	Show symbols of objects included in the current map extent
Results	As soon as results of a search or query are available, they will be displayed here. The results can be displayed individually, grouped or with different line spacing. Refine opens a filter option to control the display of the results in a more differentiated way. A result-dependent action menu opens up a variety of further functions depending on the displayed layers, e.g. •Zoom to results. •Highlight results on the map. •Switch to table view with numerous function, configuration and filter options. •Export to CSV, XLSX, Shapefile. •Remove results.
If, for example, the following functions are used, another tab is opened for the application of this function: Query Builder

In case you need more space, the left side panel can be minimized, maximized or undocked using the buttons in the upper right corner.

Planning Manager and Project window (2)

The Planning Manager tab opens the Project window. Here projects can be created, edited, searched, sorted, highlighted in the map, updated and displayed with/without details.

Already created projects appear in the sortable list of planning projects.

Tool groups (4) and Toolbars (5)

The Map, Select and Notes tabs can be used to quickly access central components of theNetwork Simulator . Each of those tabs have their own toolbars
