Navigating in Convier

Convier has functionality for exploring and analysing data in different ways, depending on the usecase.

To see and explore all the data related to some entity (e.g. a customer), you can search for that object to open the corresponding object view. The search bar is always found at the top of the page. Clicking the search bar will reveal which information is searchable in the platform. Typically it is possible to search for a Customer, an Account, a Task etc. When you start typing in the search bar, additional hints will show up to help show which data values you can use to search for each object type. In the example below, a Customer can for example be searched by Name or Customer ID Number. Select the object type and value you are searching with to make the search quicker. Hit Enter to search.

Search

A lot of the components in the Conviers views are clickable, and will take you to the object view of the element you are clicking. Some examples of clickable elements that will open an object view:

  • Property links
  • Object list charts
  • Table charts
  • Clicking a row in Browse

If you have Convier open on a wide screen, the new object view will by default open in the right side panel. Use “Move” to change the display location.

Tabs, side panels and “Move”

Navigation between views in Convier behaves very similarly to navigation in a web browser. A view is always opened in a tab, and all open tabs can be seen in the top header. You can switch between tabs by clicking on them, or close a tab by clicking the “x” on the left side of that tab.

Open tabs A row of 3 open tabs. Tabs can be closed by clicking the ‘x’-button.

It is possible to see 2 views side-by-side in Convier, by opening one view in the right-hand side panel. When using Convier on a wide screen, new views will be opened in the right-hand side panel by default. Drag the middle split bar to resize the side panel width. Tabs can be moved from the left to the right side of the screen (or back) by using the “Move”-buttons in the top right corner or a view.

Move button A side-by-side view of a report view and a customer view. The “Move” buttons (circeled) can be used to move a tab between left and right side panels (or fullscreen view)
