Navigating Your Tenant

End User

Once you have successfully logged in to DataCentral, you will be presented with your personalized portal. This interface is specifically tailored to you, displaying only the reports and data that you have been granted permission to access.

This guide explains the main areas of the DataCentral interface and how to find what you need.

1. The Sidebar Menu​

The sidebar menu is your starting point. It provides a clean, organized view of all the analytics available to you, listing the items you have been granted access to.

Header Navigation​

At the top of the screen, you will find the main navigation bar. This area typically includes:

  • Your Organization's Logo: Clicking this logo will always return you to the home view.
  • Global Search: A search bar that allows you to quickly find specific reports by name.
  • User Profile: Located in the top right corner. Clicking your profile icon allows you to access your account settings, change your password (if applicable), or log out.

In the sidebar menu, your reports are either displayed as links or organized into logical groups, often corresponding to Power BI Workspaces or business departments (e.g., "Sales", "Finance", "Inventory").

  • Clicking on an item in the sidebar will open that specific report in the main content area.
  • If you only have access to a few reports, they may be displayed in a single, unified list without categories.

2. Accessing Reports​

Each available report is listed in the sidebar menu.

  • Report Title: The name of the report as it appears in the menu.
  • Simply click on a report name in the sidebar to open and view it in the main content area.

3. Mobile Experience​

DataCentral is fully responsive. If you access the portal from a smartphone or tablet, the navigation and sidebar menu will automatically adjust to fit your screen.

  • The sidebar menu may collapse into a "hamburger" menu (three horizontal lines) in the top corner.
  • Reports will scale to ensure that the data remains readable, though complex Power BI reports are often best viewed in landscape mode on mobile devices.
