Getting around

The same apps on every screen, laid out for the screen you have: a rail of apps down the left of a computer's window, and a bar of tabs along the foot of a phone.

On a computer #

• The rail down the left holds the apps. A dot on Mail means unread mail. The gear under the apps is Settings, and Log out is at the very foot. There is no bar across the top: each app's search is the magnifier in its own bar, which opens into a field where it stands.
• Each app has a column of its own beside the rail — Mail's folders, Chat's conversations, the notes tree, the list of boards — and the thing you opened beside that. Drag the column's edge to make it wider or narrower.
• ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) opens Search everything: mail, people, notes, boards and events in one box, and every command.
• g then a letter jumps between apps from the keyboard — see Keyboard shortcuts.

On a phone #

• The tab bar at the foot holds four apps and More. More has the rest of the apps and, under a line, Settings. The User guide and Check for updates are in Settings → General, under About.
• The ☰ at the top left opens the app's own list in a drawer that slides in from the left: Mail's folders, Chat's conversations, the notes tree, the boards. A swipe in from the left edge of the screen opens it too. Tap the dimmed side, or swipe the drawer back, to close it.
• Tap the app's name at the top of the drawer and the apps drop down in its place, three to a row. Under them are Settings and the User guide, and under another line, Sign out. Tap the name again to go back to the app's list.
• With nothing open, Notes and Boards show their list as the screen: tap a note or a board to open it, ‹ to come back. Inside an open board, ☰ or a swipe in from the left edge lists the boards.
• The magnifier at the top right searches the app you are in. What it finds is listed under the search field; tap one to open it.
• Pull a list down from the top to read it again — the mail list, the chats, the boards and the rest.
• Opening something — a conversation, a note, a board, a contact — slides it over the list, with ‹ at the top left to go back. A swipe from the left edge goes back too — except on an open board, where it opens the list of boards.
• The tab bar steps aside while the keyboard is up, and comes back when you put the keyboard away.

Choosing the order of the apps #

Settings → Display → Menus sets which apps come first. The order is used everywhere: down the rail, in the drawer's app switcher, and on a phone the first four are the tabs and the rest are under More. The first one is where Ayoh opens, and where the logo at the top of the rail goes.

• The default is Chat, Mail, Boards, Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Digest.
• It is kept with your account, so it is the same on every device you sign in on.
• Settings is not in the list: it is always under the apps in the rail, in More, and under the apps in a phone's drawer.
