User interface

How do I navigate Tensor Cloud?​

Navigation on Tensor Cloud is centered around the collapsible left-hand sidebar that brings you quickly to the most relevant sections. The sidebar is split into 3 parts:

  1. The Portfolio section gives you access to managing the building blocks of your renewable energy portfolio. Go here to manage base data like location of your assets, SPVs, PPAs, and BGs.
  2. The Tasks section provides you with tools to support operational or financial activities.
  3. Get access to market data, asset data uploads and settings in the Other section.

If you have access to multiple workspaces, you can quickly switch between them with the workspace drop-down at the top of the sidebar.

When working on a smaller screen, consider collapsing the sidebar with the Collapse button on the bottom of the sidebar to give you more space to work.

The quickest way to understand where you are on Tensor Cloud is to look at the breadcrumbs at the top left of the screen. These breadcrumbs show you the path you took to get to the current page and allow you to quickly navigate back to a higher level.

The top right of your screen contains links to the support form, the notification center, and your avatar menu to log out, quickly change your language, or access your personal settings.

Common UI Elements​

We try to re-use and standardize most parts of the Tensor Cloud interface. Below are some elements you will find in many places on Tensor Cloud.

Date Picker​

There are many places on Tensor Cloud where you will need to select a date. Our date picker allows you to quickly select dates, even if they are years in the past, using only your mouse. You can move through time either by month or by year with a click on the current year bringing you to a visual month and year selection.
