This section addresses the functions of the tile navigation.

The tile navigation is the ELO Desktop Client start screen. Tiles can be used to represent work areas, views, and ELO apps. Clicking a tile takes you straight to the corresponding area.

Interface

Search tiles: Enter your search to the search field. While entering a search term, the results are narrowed down to the appropriate tiles thanks to the search-as-you-type function. The matches are highlighted in the tiles.

The following tiles appear by default:

• Repository
• My ELO
• Search
• Desktop
• In use

Groups

By default, the tile navigation area is divided into the groups Repository, Search, Other, and Hidden tiles.

You can edit the groups using the context menu. To open the context menu, right-click the group name. The following functions are available:

Add group: Use the Add group menu item to create your own groups in the tile navigation area.

Rename group: Use the Rename group menu item to change the respective group name. This function is only available for your own groups.

Delete group: Use the Delete group menu item to delete the respective group. All tiles in the deleted group are moved to the Hidden tiles group.

Restore default settings: This option enables you to revert changes to tiles and groups in the tile navigation area and restore the default values. Click the menu item Restore default settings.

The arrow following the group title expands and collapses the group.

You can change the order of the tiles and their allocation to groups via drag-and-drop.

Work area toolbar: The toolbar provides access to the My ELO, Repository, Search, Desktop, and In use work areas.

Settings

Shrink tile and Hide: Right-clicking a tile opens a context menu. Click Shrink tile to cut the size of the tile in half or Hide to hide the tile. Hidden tiles are moved to the Hidden tiles group. To restore the tile, drag it to the target location in the tile navigation.

Tile settings: To open the tile settings, right-click a tile and select Settings. The Tile settings dialog box opens. You can set the color and size of the tile and choose an icon. Confirm your changes with OK. To discard your changes, click Cancel.
