# Getting around SystemView
## An introduction to the layout, navigation tools, and how to move between Explore and Interact.
When you first log into SystemView, you’ll land on the **Explore** page. From here, you can navigate across different domains, open components, apply filters, and interact with tiles. This article gives you a quick orientation to the general layout and how to navigate confidently across the platform.

### **General interface overview**

2. **Notifications, Sharing & Account Settings:** Access your alerts, view content shared with you (such as MyHubs, SharedLists, and SharedProjects), and open your account settings (including log out options).
3. **Announcement Banners:** If there are known issues, upcoming updates, or messages from your SystemView admin team, they’ll appear here.
4. **Zoom & Alignment:** Adjust how the **daisy chain** is displayed when you're in Explore.
5. **Help & Support:** Access onboarding guides, eLearning modules, and video walkthroughs.

### **Navigating Explore**
Explore is your main environment for viewing data. It uses the [**daisy chain**](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-the-daisy-chain) layout to guide you through domains, component groups, and individual components.
> 🔗 *See: [What is Explore? ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-explore)* and [What is the daisy chain ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-the-daisy-chain)
****
1. **Select a Domain**
Choose a domain from the daisy chain (e.g., *Outpatients*, *Surgery*, *Beds*). This will open the component groups available within that domain.
2. **Select a Component Group**
Within the domains daisy chain, click on any component group to reveal its available components.
3. **Open a Component**
Click on the component you want to view. This opens its dashboard page, where you can filter, drill down, and explore the data further.
---
### **Understanding the component page layout**
Each component page gives you a consistent set of tools and information:
- **Breadcrumbs**
Displayed at the top-left, these show your path and let you jump back to a previous step in Explore
🔗 *See:* [How do I go back to the previous screen in Explore? ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/how-do-i-go-back-to-the-previous-screen)
- **Data Refresh Time**
Also at the top-left, this shows when the data for the component was last updated.
- **Filter Bar**
Located at the top-left of the component page, below the data refresh time. Use this to drill into data by site, specialty, and more.
🔗 *See: [How do I use filters? ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/how-do-i-use-filters)*
- **Chart Series Toggle**
Below most charts, you’ll find clickable legends. Click on a label to isolate that series in the chart.
- **Activate**
Click the **purple Activate button** in the top-right of a tile to open it in full screen. This unlocks options to export, share, add to a MyList/MyProject/MyHub, or set a Monitor Goal or Improvement Target.
🔗 *See: [What does the purple Activate button do? ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-does-the-purple-activate-button-do)*

### **Navigating Interact: Your personal workspace**
While Explore is for discovering data, **Interact** is your personalised environment for saving, grouping, and tracking what’s important to you.
> 🔗 *See: [What is Interact? ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-interact)*
You'll find:
- 🔗 [MyView:](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-myview) A dashboard of tiles you've chosen to watch, monitor, or improve.
- 🔗 [MyLists / SharedLists](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-mylists): Save and share patient-level data tables.
- 🔗 [MyProjects / SharedProjects](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-myprojects): Group charts together for improvement work or reports.
- 🔗 [MyHub](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-explore): Build your own dashboard with key charts and tables from any component in SystemView.
