# Navigate in Boss’nX: page bar, Menu, search and language

Context: Boss’nX web: building supervision, supervision opened from a hypervision, or hypervision view

In a Boss’nX supervision, the bar in the header shows your usual pages and the **Menu** button gives access to every allowed page, with a search. You choose the pages of your bar. The pages offered depend on the context (a building’s supervision, a supervision opened from a hypervision, or the hypervision view) and on your account’s permissions.

These landmarks assume an open session: to sign in or end the session, see [Boss’nX access](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-access/).

## Find your way in a supervision

1. Look at the header. On the left, the site name appears; **Main building** is shown if no title is available.
2. Click the site name or **Dashboard** to return to the dashboard of the current context.
3. Use the pages of your bar, to the right of the site name. By default it offers **Dashboard**, **Building**, **Components**, **Alarms**, **Schemas** and **Analytics**, depending on your permissions.
4. Below the header, a second row shows the other pages of the same family: for example **Network health**, **KNX gateways** and **Alarm rules** on the **Alarms** page.

The site name shown in the header is not a building selector. To open another context, use its access link or [the hypervision chips](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-hypervision-switch/) when they are offered.

## Open a page with the Menu

1. Click **Menu**, the three-line icon to the right of the bar. With the keyboard, use **Ctrl K**, or **⌘ K** on a Mac.
2. Find the page in its family, or type a few letters in **Search a page, a zone, a component…**. The search also finds zones, components, schemas and tabs.
3. Click the page, or press **Enter** to open the first result. **Escape** clears the search, then closes the Menu.

| Family | Pages offered depending on permissions |
| --- | --- |
| **Dashboard** | **Dashboard** |
| **Building** | **Building**, **Site view**, **3D building**, **Components**, **Schemas** |
| **Alarms** | **Alarms**, **Network health**, **KNX gateways**, **Alarm rules** |
| **Analytics** | **Analytics** |
| **Schedules** | **Time programming**, **Indicator templates** |
| **Administration** | **Users**, **Activity log**, **Guest access**, **Site Information** |
| **Integration** | **KNX commissioning**, **Building organisation**, **Datapoint tags**, **Data logging**, **Modbus gateways**, **BACnet devices** |

The **Integration** family can be folded: click its title to show its pages. The Menu only lists the pages allowed for your account. Being able to open a page does not automatically give the right to modify its content.

## Choose the pages of your bar

1. In the **Menu**, click the star to the right of a page. A filled star shows that the page is in your bar; click again to remove it.
2. To reorder the bar, choose **Customise my bar**, at the bottom of the Menu or in the account menu.
3. Drag a page by its handle, or use its up and down arrows. The cross removes a page; **+ Add a page** adds one.
4. To return to the six original pages, click **Restore the default bar**.

**Alarms** always stays in the bar: its padlock indicates **Always visible**. Pages marked with a phone also appear on phones. Beyond six pages, a small screen may not show them all.

## On a tablet and on a phone

On a screen less than 1024 pixels wide, the bar moves to the bottom of the screen: it shows the first six pages of your bar on a tablet and the first four on a phone, followed by **Menu**. The Menu then opens full screen, with the same search, families and stars. The **Close the Menu** cross, or the Escape key, closes it without opening a page. On a phone, the account menu, with **Log out**, is at the end of the Menu.

## Change the language

1. In a supervision, click **Language**, the globe icon at the top right.
2. Choose **Français** or **English**. The active language is ticked.

In the hypervision view, use the **FR** and **EN** buttons in the header. The choice is remembered in this browser.

## Navigate in the hypervision view

On a computer, the consolidated view offers **Hypervision dashboard** and **Aggregated alarms**, as well as **Hypervision users** when this menu is allowed. It has no **Menu**, does not include the configuration pages of a supervision, and the logo returns to the hypervision dashboard.

On a screen less than 1024 pixels wide, these links move to a bar at the bottom of the screen: **Home**, **Alarms** and, when allowed, **Users**.

## Find the guide for a page

On some pages, the **Guided help** button, shaped like a question mark, offers a guided tour of the page. The following guides describe each page:

- **Dashboard**: [the energy breakdown](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-energy/) of a supervision. An authorized person can [associate a Chart’nX dashboard with the widget](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-energy-config/) and [organize the dashboard blocks](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-dashboard-layout/). For a missing chart or a save without result, follow [energy troubleshooting](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-energy-help/).
- **Analytics**: [the Trends tab](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-analytics-consult/), to select measurements and request their chart. For the **Chart'nX** tab, follow [opening it from Boss’nX](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/chart-open-boss/).
- **Alarms**: [the alarm history](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-alarms-consult/), to find an alarm, read its status or filter the list.
- **Network health**: [the status of monitored IP and KNX devices](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-health/).
- **Schemas**: [the Schemas page](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-schemas-consult/), to open a drawing and its layers.
- **Time programming**: [find a time program, activate it or run it](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-scenarios-consult/) depending on your permissions.
- **Guest access**: [QR management](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-qr-manage/), for guest access.
- **Data logging**: [the KNX addresses to log](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-knx-monitoring/) and [Modbus register readings](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-modbus-config/).
- **Site Information**: [the site title and location](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-site-info/).
- **BACnet devices**: [declare a BACnet device and discover its objects](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-bacnet-devices/).
- **Modbus gateways**: [add or edit a Modbus gateway](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-modbus-gateway-create/), for shared Modbus TCP access.
- **KNX gateways**: [KNX gateway statuses](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-knx-gateways/).
- **Users**, **Roles** tab: [the list of roles](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-roles-consult/), to check the permissions and the accounts associated with a role.
- Account menu: [changing your password](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/boss-password/).

## Troubleshooting

- Page missing from the bar: look for it in the **Menu** or with its search, then add it with the star. If it does not appear in the Menu either, have the permissions assigned to your account checked.
- Edit button missing: editing the dashboard requires a separate permission, **Edit own dashboard**, and its **Edit layout** button only appears on the dashboard. A read-only role can give access to data without allowing commands or changes.
- A page sends you back to the dashboard: have your administrator check your access to this page and to the building concerned. Do not change navigation addresses to work around missing access.

If the problem persists, including for a hypervision link you cannot find, contact support@can-nx.com, specifying the product, the context, the menu or page you are looking for and the checks already made.

French labels: **Tableau de bord** for **Dashboard**, **Bâtiment** for **Building**, **Composants** for **Components**, **Analyses** for **Analytics**, **Langue** for **Language**, **Personnaliser ma barre** for **Customise my bar** and **Modifier la disposition** for **Edit layout**; **Menu** keeps the same name.
