Testing the new UI

Why can't I see the toggle in my entity?

Entity level only users will not see the toggle. 

 
 
 
 

User and Entity Management

How do I log into an entity?

Click on the blue Entity ID.

 
 

Can I have both Group and Entity Users in the new UI?

In the new UI, it will only be possible to create and manage users at group level. When you create users, the assigned Profile (known as Group User Type for customers on the legacy pricing plans) is the only one users can have across all entities:

If you previously set up the same user at both group and entity level with different profiles, consider using their group level profile in all entities. In the new UI, if you update the profile in the Add Group Users screen, these changes will be inherited in any entities assigned to that user. 

For more details, see sections 4 and 5 in Setting Up System Users.

Ensure that all profiles needed are available at in the group entity. In the Entities tab, select Maintain Menu Profiles in the Actions dropdown: 

Then in each entity, you can copy the profiles from the group entity and customise them by checking or unchecking the permissions against each profile:

For more details, see sections 3 in Setting Up System Users.

Likewise, because users in the new UI can only be created at group level, their User Role (Admin/User) will be the same in all entities:

 
 

How can I switch between entities in the new UI?

Navigate to the top-left and either search by name or ID or select the entity from the dropdown.

 
 

Can I have multiple companies open in different tabs? 

No, instead open a new window in your browser or open an additional browser.

Do we need Q Hub to access the release portal?

No, the toggle button sits at the top-right of the screen, outside of Q Hub.

 
 

Where is the Q Hub in the new UI?

The Q Hub is now the question-mark icon at the top right of the screen.

 
 

Can I still raise a ticket in the new UI?

Simply click on the question-mark icon at the top of your screen and go to Raise A Case. Raise a ticket as normal. See Accessing Support and Services for more details.

 
 

Will the training videos be updated?

Yes, over time.  Help articles are already being updated. Many pop-up screens have the same structure, so the new interface changes should have minimal impact.
