The screenshot below is of the Globodox main window with a DB opened. The Globodox main window is divided into four main parts:

1.	Ribbon bar

2.	Navigation Pane

3.	List View Pane

4.	Details View (Display) Pane

1. Ribbon Bar:

The Globodox user interface is similar to the familiar MS Outlook user interface. The menus and toolbars have been replaced with a single Ribbon bar. The Ribbon bar is divided into tabs (Home and Tools), which group related features together. This makes all important tools and features of Globodox very easily accessible.

The Ribbon bar can be minimized by right-clicking it and selecting the Minimize the Ribbon option. You can also double-click the Ribbon bar tabs to minimize it.

For more information, see Home Tab, Tools Tab.

Globodox Button: Use the Globodox button to log-in to and log out of Globodox. You can also use it for opening and closing a Globodox DB.

Quick Access toolbar: You can add the frequently used buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar is located besides the Globodox button. For e.g. let's say you frequently use the Save, Add and Scan buttons. You can add these buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar to quickly access them. For more information, see Add buttons to Quick Access Toolbar.

2. Navigation pane:

The Navigation pane appears on the left side of Globodox window. It gives you quick access to all the documents and data in your DB as well as the various settings for your DB. The Navigation pane contains navigation groups (e.g. Workplace, Settings) which in turn contain navigation nodes (e.g. All Documents, Folders). Selecting a navigation node displays the related information in the list view.

The Navigation pane can be minimized by clicking the Double Arrow on the top right corner of the Navigation pane.

The Navigation pane has the following navigation groups...

Workspace: This is your personal workplace. The workspace initially displays all navigation nodes (i.e. Folders, Tags, Document Types etc..) but you can customize the workspace to only display navigation nodes which are of interest to you.

Workspace navigation group contains the following navigation items...
