A tour of the NATIS UI — the top navigation, sidebar, workspace switcher, and key panels.

Global Navigation

The NATIS UI is organized into five main areas: the top application bar, left sidebar, main workspace canvas, right context panel, and the status bar at the bottom.

  • Top Bar — Workspace switcher, global search (⌘K), notifications, user profile
  • Left Sidebar — Primary navigation: Home, Data Explorer, Pipelines, Analytics, AI/ML, Governance, Admin
  • Main Canvas — Context-sensitive workspace for the selected module
  • Right Panel — Metadata, lineage, version history, comments, and sharing options
  • Status Bar — Active job status, cluster health, recent activity

Home Dashboard

The Home page shows recently accessed items, pinned resources, platform announcements, and a quick-access launcher. You can customize the Home layout by clicking the ⚙ icon in the top-right corner of the Home page.

Global Search (⌘K / Ctrl+K)

Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) anywhere in the platform to open the universal search bar. You can search across tables, pipelines, dashboards, notebooks, models, and documentation. Results are ranked by recency and relevance.
