This is the global navigation bar, always on top of the Mnemonica UI, carrying information and commands for the entire Mnemonica environment. 

On this top bar you can find, left to right:

• The name of the Project you are in
  — by clicking on it you can open a list of your recent project and a link to all-Project view;
• The Project settings (gear icon)
• The Projects' usage figures (stats icon)
• The Project's info (info icon)
• The Notifications pop-up (bell icon)
• The transfers pop-up (cloud icon)
• The Hub side panel (hub icon)
• The Gate control (double arrow icon).

The bottom navigation bar

The bottom menu host hotlinks to the main Mnemonica modules within the current Project:

• Project Dashboard
• Masters (only in Mnemonica Archive Projects)
• Screening Rooms
• Sharing Boxes
• Team control (to manage people accessing all resources)
• Guests control (to manage people accessing only specific resources)

Notice that the Guests link is contextual: when you are in a Screening Room you jump directly to audience management for that Room.

The User menu

On the left hand of the bottom bar, your avatar can be clicked to open the User menu :

• Preferences
• Company (if any)
• Support request form
• Help (link to this User Guide)
• Log-out command.

Within a Project, your avatar will carry a role badge that describes your role inside the Project. 

• M = Manager
• O = Operator
• G = Guest

Lists

Mnemonica has a list-based UI. Depending on the page, lists can be shown with different layouts: 

• Cards or thumbnails
• Table list

Where it makes sense, users can switch between the two layouts whenever they wish.

Elements of a list often can be filtered, learn how.

Lists are almost everywhere: Projects, Rooms, Media, Days, Bins, Users, Groups of users, etc.

Every list has a toolbar and a footer.

Toolbars

List toolbars are underneath the top-bar menu. Depending on what page you are on, on the toolbar you can find:

• Action buttons
• Filtering option
• Sorting options
• Possibly pieces of information regarding the content below

Footers

When a list is shown, the count of the list of selected items and possibly some other information appears on the list's footer.

In the Media Pool, the footer carries also information about the media runtime of the Room.

The options button

Users can find option buttons all over the User Interface of Mnemonica. The options button is represented by the classical three dots icon and is useful to open up local menus or find action shortcuts. Some of them become visible only when the mouse pointer hovers over the object.

UI and Roles

There are substantial differences between roles in terms of capabilities. As a consequence, while the basic structure of the UI remains the same for all, it may display slight changes in details depending on the user's role in the Project. 

Multiple selections

To select an element from a list just click it. To deselect click it again.

Where permitted you can select multiple items using the Ctrl/Cmd-click or Shift-click commands. There you can also drag & select multiple items by keeping ALT / Option pressed while dragging the mouse.

On the mobile app, you can activate multiple selections by long-tapping an element of a list.

Screening Rooms

A Screening Room has much information attached to it, and it displays some depending on the page you are in. You can get informed on Room status, properties, and family links, directly on the Rooms card by reading the multi-colored icons.

Drag & drop

Wherever a list of objects (rooms, clips, days, bins, Guests, groups, etc...) is shown, users can perform actions on those objects by dragging them over other objects or over the drop areas which appear at the bottom of the screen when they start dragging items.
