Getting to know the interface

Relator has two fixed areas: the sidebar on the left, with navigation and search, and the top bar, with the open client, the page path and quick actions. The page content sits in the middle. This article shows what each area holds and the shortcuts that save clicks.

Sidebar

The items change with the space that is open. Inside a client (or in an own-business account) the sidebar has three groups:

  • Main

    Items
    Home, Performance, Reports, Dashboards and Spaces
  • Analysis

    Items
    Metrics, CRM, Goals and Timeline
  • Agency (or Account, in own-business accounts)

    Items
    Clients (agency only, with the number of clients), Sources and Settings
GroupItems
MainHome, Performance, Reports, Dashboards and Spaces
AnalysisMetrics, CRM, Goals and Timeline
Agency (or Account, in own-business accounts)Clients (agency only, with the number of clients), Sources and Settings

In the agency view the sidebar is shorter: Home, Clients, Dashboards and Reports, plus Settings in the Agency group. Each client's analysis, spaces, goals and sources live inside that client.

  • Pinned: dashboards you pinned appear below the groups. In the dashboard menu, use Pin to sidebar.
  • Getting started: at the bottom of the sidebar, the checklist for the open space. It disappears when you finish or dismiss it.
  • Collapse: the button next to the client's name, at the top, collapses the sidebar to icons only (the name shows on hover). On smaller screens the sidebar starts collapsed.

Top bar

  • Client switcher: on the left, it shows the open space. Click to switch; see below.
  • Page path: next to the switcher. Click an earlier level to go back to it.
  • Trial: during the free trial, a badge shows the days left; see Trial period.
  • Ask RelatorAI: opens the assistant on the screen you are on. See What RelatorAI does.
  • Language: switches the interface between Portuguese, English and Spanish.
  • Bell: connection health notifications; see Notifications.
  • Your photo: Account settings, Chat history, What's new, Send feedback, Contact support and Sign out.

    Step 2

    Pick the space

    Click the agency to see the whole portfolio, or a client to work only with them. The entire app then shows data for that space: dashboards, reports, metrics and sources.

Quick search (⌘K)

The Search… field at the top of the sidebar opens quick search. The shortcut is ⌘K on Mac and Ctrl K on Windows and Linux. With two or more letters, it searches dashboards, reports, clients and metrics. With nothing typed, it shows Navigate (shortcuts to the main screens) and Switch client.

  3. 3No useful result? The same phrase becomes a question for RelatorAI.

Settings and help

Settings, in the sidebar, opens the window with the settings for the open space; see General settings. Your personal details (name, photo, email and password) are in Account settings, in your profile menu. The ? button next to the title of some pages replays that screen's guided tour.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see Clients in the sidebar?

Because your account is an own-business account, or because you signed in as a client through the portal. Clients only exists in agency accounts, for members of the agency team.

Why does my menu look different from a colleague's?

The sidebar shows what the open space and your access allow. In the agency view it is shorter; inside a client the analysis areas appear. People who sign in through the client portal see only the areas enabled for the client.

How do I go back to the agency view?

Open the switcher at the top and click the agency, in the Agency group.

Where can I see product updates?

In your profile menu, under What's new. A red dot shows on your photo when there is an unread update.
