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:
Logging In
When logging in, you may be asked to select the brand or store you want to work with.
| This only applies if you have access to more than one store or brand. If you only manage a single store, the portal will take you directly to its dashboard. |
The Section Menu
On the left-hand side, you’ll find the Section Menu. This is used for navigating through the portal.
Clicking the Section menu button will open the Select Section screen, where you can navigate to areas such as System Admin, Stock, Configuration, Reports and more, depending on what your user role allows you to have access to.
Store Selection
On the right-hand side of the page banner, you will see which store you are currently working on. If you have access to multiple stores, you can switch between them here. The data displayed in the portal will update automatically based on the company, brand, or store selected.
The User Menu
The User Menu gives you additional menu options for your account as well as the portal itself.
The menu allows you to:
- Change the portal language
- Switch between brand or store context (based on the level of access your user role allows)
- Open the Store selector to allow you to switch the store and/or brand you're working on.
- Sign out of the current session
| We always recommend you sign out of the portal when you're done working on it for best security. |
Help and Support
At the bottom-right corner, the Help Icon opens the help center. From here, you can:
- Search the support database
- Access guided tours on portal features
- Read portal notifications
- Contact the support team
