# The Insight interface

> A reference for Insight's navigation, the Explorer layout, and the Testing overview.

Insight has a simple, consistent layout: a top navigation bar across the whole
app, and within the Explorer a left sidebar, a toolbar and the data grid. This
page is a reference for each area and what it does.

## Top navigation

The bar at the top of every page switches between Insight's areas.

| Item | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Explorer** | Browse project data in a grid. This is the main area. |
| **Testing** | Company-wide testing schedules and chain of custody. |
| **Analytics** | In development - shown as **Coming soon**. |
| **Map** | In development - shown as **Coming soon**. |

The account menu on the right is where you switch theme and sign out.

## The Explorer

The Explorer is split into three parts.

### Sidebar

| Element | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Configuration switcher** | Choose which configuration's tables to browse. Only appears when your company has more than one configuration. |
| **Search** | Filter the table list by name. |
| **Tables list** | Every table in the configuration, each with a live **record count**. Empty tables are dimmed. Select one to load its data. |

### Toolbar

| Element | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Projects** | Filter the grid to one or more projects. See [Filtering by project](/insight/explorer/filtering). |
| **Geology** | Overlay geological descriptions onto the rows. Only appears when the data supports it. See [The geology overlay](/insight/explorer/geology). |
| **CSV** / **JSON** | Export the current view. Only appear if you have export access. See [Exporting data](/insight/explorer/exporting). |

### Data grid

The grid shows the selected table's records. **Project ID** and **Project Name**
come first, then the table's columns in their configured order. You can resize
columns, and page through results with **Previous** and **Next**. See
[Exploring data](/insight/explorer) for how to read it.

## Testing

The **Testing** area is a single read-only overview: summary tiles, lab activity,
and two tabs - **Schedules** and **Chain of custody** - each a searchable table.
See [Testing](/insight/testing).
