Overview of New User Interface

Stellar Cyber has a new user interface in the 6.0.0 release.

This document describes how to switch from the legacy user interface to the new user interface and back, the menus and icons in the new user interface, and a mapping of the legacy user interface's menus and menu items to the new user interface's menus and menu items.

About Screen Captures in the Stellar Cyber Knowledge Base

Stellar Cyber is in the process of updating the screen captures in the Knowledge Base to match the new user interface. As you use the KB, you may still see some places where the screen captures show the legacy user interface. These differences do not affect Stellar Cyber functionality. We are working to match the KB to the new user interface and will finish soon. Thank you for your patience!

Switching User Interfaces

This section describes how to switch the logged in user from the legacy user interface to the new user interface, switch themes in the new user interface, and switch back to the legacy user interface.

Switching from the Legacy UI to the New UI

You can switch from the legacy user interface to the new user interface on a per-user basis. The user interface only changes for that user.

To switch the logged in user from the legacy user interface to the new user interface:

  1. Locate the logged in user. It is to the right of the System menu at the top of the screen.

  2. Click the down arrow to view the menu items.

  3. Select Feature preview.

  4. In the Feature preview dialog, click Enable for Theming.

  5. The user interface changes to a Dark theme and Theming changes to Disable.

    The default is the Dark theme.

  6. Click the X in the top right-hand corner of the dialog to exit the Feature preview dialog and view the new user interface.

Switching Dark and Light Themes

To switch themes from Dark to Light or Light to Dark in the new user interface:

  1. Locate the right-most icon in the top right corner of the screen in the new user interface. In this example, it is a icon.

  2. Click the right-most icon to view the menu items. In this example, it is a icon.

  3. If you are in Dark Theme, select Light Theme to switch to Light Theme.

    The user interface changes to a light theme.

  4. If you are in Light Theme, select Dark Theme to switch to Dark Theme.

    The user interface changes to a dark theme.

Switching Back to the Legacy UI

To switch back to the legacy user interface:

  1. Select Feature preview from the menu on the right-most icon. In this example, it is a icon.

  2. For Theming, click Disable.

  3. Click the X in the top right-hand corner of the dialog to exit the Feature preview dialog and view the legacy user interface.

Mapping the Legacy UI Menu Items to the New UI

The table below maps the menus and menu items in the legacy user interface to the menus and menu items in the new user interface.

In the legacy user interface, a section heading, such as Predefined under the Visualize menu, was not a selectable part of the path. In the new user interface, a section heading, such as PREDEFINED under the Dashboards menu, is also not a selectable part of the path, however, you may need to click the expand icon to see the menu items under the section heading.

In some cases, you may need to expand multiple items. For example, to select the Sensor Profiles menu item under the System menu, expand System, expand DATA SOURCE MANAGEMENT, and expand Sensors. You can then select Sensor Profiles.

Alternatively, you can use the Search boxes under Dashboards or System to locate a menu item. For example, to find the Sensor Profiles menu item, type profile in the System Search box.
