The following table describes the different areas of the Collaborate header.

 

Button or Function

Description

1

Panel Access Menu

You can use this menu to switch between the Planner, People, and Resources areas of the app.

For more information, see The Planner Panel and Collaborate People and Resources.

2

Filters

Similar to the Applied Filters area of the Planner Sidebar, this button allows you to clear any topic or metadata filters that you might have enabled.

You can click the X to clear all filters, or you can click the Filters button to selectively clear one or more individual filters.

3

Only My Stuff

Displaying your avatar, this button acts as a filter that allows you to limit the Planner to display only those topics and assignments to which you are assigned. If you are assigned to a topic, but you are not assigned to any assignment within that topic, the assignment is not included in the filtered results.

When you click this button, the app adds a filter under the People category in the Filters sidebar. The button turns blue to let you know that the filter is active. You can clear this particular filter by either clicking the Only My Stuff button for a second time, or by deselecting the matching filter in the sidebar.

4

Add Button

As a standard Collaborate user, this button allows you to create new topics and assignments. As a Collaborate supervisor, you can also click this button to create new contacts or resources without the need to select those panels from the Panel Access Menu.

5

Standard Controls

Controls common to many MediaCentral Cloud UX apps, such as Dock and Close.

If you are working in a topic or an assignment, the Collaborate header displays your current working path. The path always starts with Planner >, followed by the topic name, and the assignment name if applicable.
