The Aura online portal user interface

The NextGen Aura Online Portal UI has some top-level elements that will be consistent on any page that the user interacts with once they log in.

The portal’s landing page appears as below:

This is the Dashboard page. Along the top of the screen is the Top Bar element and to the left is the collapsible Navigation Menu. Let’s examine these elements in detail.

Top Bar

1. Menu and Page Title. Clicking the hamburger menu icon will return you to the top-level navigation menu.
2. Country Selector. This menu lets you select the “Country”, which refers to the highest-level grouping for stores. This is typically at country level, though may contain larger companies. This will filter the dataset on your current page to view data or settings that apply to that entire group.
3. Brand Selector. This menu lets you select the “Brand”, which refers to the intermediate-level grouping for stores, usually the brands within a group. This will filter the dataset on your current page to view data or settings that apply to that entire group.
4. Store Selector. This menu lets you select the individual stores available within the Brand/Country you have selected. Selecting the store lets you view and manage the store’s data and settings.
5. User Info/Logout This shows you which user is currently logged in. You can click the name to view the My Profile settings and permissions page. Clicking the drop-down arrow will reveal the Logout option:
