Global app bar

The Global app bar allows you to navigate between different applications and access certain actions.

Navigating between applications

The Global app bar is visible throughout all FA applications. This allows you to see the applications you can access and navigate between them through a single sign-on.

At the top, the Global app bar lists all the applications you have rights to access. Click an application from the bar to navigate to it. The new application is opened within the same browser tab. You can also right-click an application from the Global app bar and choose to open it in a new browser tab instead, allowing you to easily open multiple applications within the same browser.

Access to applications is determined based on user roles: you can see an application in the Global app bar if you have a role that grants you access to that application. The Global app bar is visible in FA Front only if you have access to other applications in addition to FA Front. If you can only access FA Front (for example, you are an end-user logging into FA Client Front), the Global app bar is not visible.

Accessing global actions

Global actions at the bottom of the Global app bar are available in all applications. You can:

View notifications and save them for later . For details, see Notifications.
Manage tasks and workflows . For details, see Tasks and workflows in FA User guide.
Access Helpdesk – Open the front page of FA Helpdesk in a new browser tab.
Access FA Documentation – Open FA Documentation in a new browser tab.
Manage two-factor authentication – Open a new browser tab to manage two-factor authentication for your account.
Log out from the system – Log out from all apps. If you had another app open in another browser tab or window, it takes up to one minute before your access expires and you are logged out.

Managing your user account's two-factor authentication

Once you are logged into the FA system, you can use the icon in the Global app bar to manage two-factor authentication for your user account. For example, you can reset two-factor authentication for a new device by setting it up again here. For more information about enabling two-factor authentication, see Enable two-factor authentication in FA User guide.

Notifications

FA allows you to keep track of processes by sending global push notifications about their status. You can view the notifications in any FA application, allowing you to get updates about processes started in one application while working with another. Notifications are available for 30 days unless saved for later.

View and save notifications for later

To open Notifications side pane, click the bell icon in the Global app bar on the left. In the side pane, you can:

View all notifications in the All tab or only notifications saved for later in the Saved tab.
Filter the notification list by type (see Notification types).
Only view unread notifications by toggling Unread only.
Mark all notifications as read or mark individual notifications as read by clicking the blue dot icon next to them.
Save notifications for later with the bookmark icon . Saved notifications appear in the Saved tab.

Notifications can also contain an "Open details" link to the application from which the process originates. You can click the link to learn more about what occurred in the process.
