Tab Bar: effortless multi-tasking

The Tab Bar feature allows a user to manage multiple tabs within the same instance of SmartSimple Cloud. By enabling users to work on different tasks or access various data sets simultaneously, the Tab Bar streamlines workflow and improves efficiency. The Tab Bar functionality enhances productivity and ensures a smooth transition between tabs while providing customizable data views. With the ability to customize data views within each tab, users can tailor their workspaces to suit specific needs, further optimizing their experience within the platform.

Tab Bar functionality: Located at the bottom of the SmartSimple Cloud window, the Tab Bar includes a "New Tab" button for easy tab creation and a "Multitask Toggle" button on the far right, to split the screen in two.

Multitask: Toggle on/off. Allows for split-screen viewing of two tabs at a time. The two tabs shown in this mode must be adjacent to each other. Re-order the tabs by dragging them to their desired order.

Tab Bar feature highlights:

• Efficient task management via multiple tab creation, reducing operational time.
• Productivity boost with simultaneous running of tabs, maximizing work output.
• Personalized viewing experience through customization, enabling focused work.

Dashboards: your personalized access to real-time data

The Dashboards feature in SmartSimple Cloud offers a strategic advantage by organizing your data into digestible, clear displays. Dashboards are essentially personal portals that users can create themselves and share amongst other users within the platform. Dashboards turn relevant system data into visual insights, helping to alleviate data overload and allowing for a more intuitive understanding of complex information. This, in turn, drives value for your organization by optimizing decision-making processes and enhancing overall efficiency.

Dashboards can help enhance your personal efficiency and decision-making:

• Clear visual insights via appealing charts and lists, enabling quick data comprehension.
• Streamlined operations through customizable layouts, enhancing user experience.
• Informed decision-making with access to real-time data, promoting accuracy.
• Increased productivity and control over data management, improving efficiency.
