Login to ModalConnect at – https://app.modalconnect.com/login or via the Application link provided by your Organisation or trainer.
Once logged in note the search bar on the left of the top bar and on the right menu buttons for Notifications, Settings (for Administrators), the Help Centre and the User’s menu. The main Workspace menu runs vertically on the left
Open the Help Centre which opens in a separate tab.
From the opened Help page select 'Education Video Library' from the left menu, note the video series topics available and then select a topic to open. Click on a video and note how to expand it to view at full screen.
Next from the Help left side menu select 'Help Centre' and note the Topics available. Click on a Topic to view. Note how most images are thumbnails, hover over an image to view how it enlarges.
In the ModalConnect window, at the top of the Workspace menu on the left, click on the 3 bars, then click on it again. Note how this expands and minimizes the workspace menu. Click on each item to expand view sub menu items except for Analytics and Reports which open the related page in a new tab.
Note the Recents which lists up to 10 of your recently viewed Files, Documents, Tasks and Entities. Note the icons for these which appear throughout ModalConnect against these items. Clicking on a list item - File, Document, Entity or Task opens it the current window.
Pinned Files, Documents, Tasks and Entities are listed by most recently pinned item when Pinned is shown as a separate menu item. Clicking on a list item opens it the current window. Note that list items can be pinned or unpinned directly from the list. Note; Pinned items can be set to appear under the Recents list (see User settings).
Open your User Profile menu (top right under Welcome) and select Settings. Expand the Workspace Menu and note the options available to apply to the Workspace menu such as whether to show the Workspace menu closed or expanded. For the Default on login (for Recents) select your preference of Documents or Entities. The Colour highlighting on Recents and Pinned' is Enabled by default which applies highlighting when mousing - hovering over workspace lists - grey for Files, green for Documents, blue for Entities and orange for Tasks. For Switch Pinned Layout, select Pinned under Recents, note how this removes the Pinned button from the workspace menu and your pinned items will now appear underneath the related Recents File, Document, Task or Entities list. These preferences for your workspace menu can be updated at any time.
With the workspace menu pane expanded, select ‘My Work’ and select New Document (if the mandatory Document Properties note these but click cancel as Adding Documents will be covered in the Documents module).
From the Recents Document menu list select ‘View All’ (top right of the list) to navigate to the 'all' Documents page. Note that all Documents that you have permissions to access can be searched for \ found here. Click on a Document number to open the Document.
Click the pin from the right side of the document menu. Note how this adds the Document as a pinned Document in your Recents and Pinned Documents list. From the Recent or Pinned Entities list click on the Pin to unpin it.
In the Document, right click on an Entity from the Document Entity list on the Entity Extraction page and select ‘Go to Entity Profile’. Note how this opens the selected Entity’s Profile in a new tab and the Recent Entities list now shows.
Pin the Entity to view how it is added as a pinned Entity to your Recent Entities list.
Click on your user profile and note this is where the Log Out button is located.
