Find your way to what you need in Innoslate.
The black top navigation bar, located at the top of Innoslate, is a constant fixture throughout the application. This bar is your primary means of navigating around Innoslate's Dashboards, Views, and Features.
-
MENU Drop-down
The leftmost feature of the top navigation bar is the 'MENU' dropdown, providing easy access to essential links for navigating around Innoslate.
This dropdown contains menu items that users may click on to successfully navigate around Innoslate.
The links under the drop-down are arranged into three sections: General, Specialized, Tools and Quick Links.
Under the “General” section are navigational links to your project’s Dashboards like Database View, Diagrams Dashboard, Documents Dashboard, and Test Center Dashboard.
Under the “Specialized” section are navigational links to tools within Innoslate like DoDAF Dashboard, Intelligence Dashboard, GitHub Dashboard, UAF Dashboard and Project Management Dashboard.
Under the "Tools" section are the Import Analyzer and Schema Editor.
Under the “Quick Links” section, the Documentation link opens Innoslate’s Help Center website, the Webinars link opens Innoslate’s Webinars on YouTube, and the Contact Support link sends you to our Support Ticket page.

Pinned Links
To the immediate right of the items on this menu are pin buttons that allow users to pin desired views to the top navigation bar. By default, six items are pinned to the bar: Dashboard, Database, Diagrams, Documents, Text Center and Import Analyzer. You can also remove any of these views on the top navigation bar by clicking the pin. The pin will dissappear to confirm the view was removed from the top navigation bar. We recommend pinning the features of Innoslate you use most often for easy one-click access.
Note, you can rearrange the order of these views by dragging and dropping them on the navigation bar:
