Using the Side Menu, Profile, Shared space, and In-app Help
Datamaran uses a side menu to help you navigate between modules and key areas of the platform. You can collapse the menu to create more space on your screen, and you can access Profile, the Help Center, and your company’s Shared space from the bottom of the menu.
Why this matters
- Find the right tool faster: The menu is organised to match how users work across modules.
- More space when you need it: Collapse the side menu to focus on what you’re working on.
- A consistent place for account and help: Profile and Help Center are always in the same location.
- One entry point to enablement resources: Open your company’s shared space (when configured) directly from the platform.
Using the side menu
Expand or collapse the menu
-
In the left navigation, select the collapse/expand control at the top of the side menu.
-
The menu switches between:
-
Expanded view (shows navigation labels), and
-
Collapsed view (uses less space).
-
Tip: The collapsed view is especially useful on smaller screens or when you want to maximise workspace.
