Navigational tabs appear at the top of SaffronArchitect. Each tab is described in this document:
Dashboards
Select Dashboards to access all dashboards that are included in SaffronArchitect. Once clicked, the tab view changes to include the names of all dashboards so that you can easily navigate between them. In the example below, dashboard tabs appear for SaffronStreamline IDR:
Settings
The Settings tab reveals configuration information set up by your system administrator. It cannot be edited:
Control Panel
Access the Control Panel to begin a data ingestion. Note that the data source location and other configuration considerations have been previously added by your system administrator.
When you access this tab, the system checks to see if an ingestion has been previously run.
Once it establishes that an ingestion has not yet run, click Ingest Data. This tells the back-end system to run an ingestion.
When data is fully ingested, Ingestion completed is returned. The various dashboards are populated with information.
As you periodically return to the Control Panel, the system checks to see if new data has been added. The example at left indicates that no new data has been ingested.
If for whatever reason you need to run an ingestion, check Force Ingestion and then click Ingest Data.
