The ELO Java Client opens to the My ELO work area. The areas are described briefly in the following.

1 Tile navigation

The tile navigation contains all available tiles. Tiles can be used to represent work areas, views, and ELO apps. Clicking a tile takes you straight to the corresponding area. The following tiles are shown by default:

• Repository
• Search
• Did you know?
• Tasks
• Intray
• In use
• Clipboard

More information on the different work areas will be provided later on in the

Groups

By default, the tile navigation area is divided into the groups Repository, Tasks, 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. In the dialog box, you can choose between:

• Default client settings: Restores all settings in the tile navigation area to the default values on installation.
• Same settings as at the start of the current session: Discards all changes made since the last time you started the ELO Java Client. Changes made prior to that session are retained.

2 Ribbon

The ribbon provides access to different functions in ELO. The ribbon is divided into tabs that group the functions. Use the tabs to switch between the menus.

To improve usability, some tabs are only shown when needed. For example, the File tab is only shown when you are in the Intray work area.

2a 'Favorites' tab

The Favorites tab contains frequently used functions that you want to access quickly. You can customize the Favorites tab to meet your own requirements. For more information about this, refer to the

2b User menu

You will find the user menu under your name on the ribbon. The user menu provides access to the configuration where you can edit your profile or appoint a substitute, for example.

2c Search functions

Use this field to search for functions on the ribbon. You can execute the functions by clicking them or by using the displayed path (e.g. Organize//Structure). Functions that are not available in the current context are grayed out.

3a News
