Every screen in the console

This section describes the administration console screen by screen. A guide walks you through one task from start to finish; here, each page answers a single question: I have this screen in front of me, what does it do and what can I expect from it.

Every page follows the same structure. A screenshot, what the screen shows, what you can do there, and where they apply, what gates access and what the screen refuses. Button labels are the ones in the console, to the letter.

Screenshots are taken in the language of the page you are reading, because a console speaks: its menus, titles and messages change with the language.

#Search fields ignore accents

Everywhere in the console, a search field compares without regard to accents or case. Typing eclairage finds "Éclairage", cable finds "Câble et conducteur", modeles finds "Modèles produit" in the command palette. So you never have to compose the accented capitals that many keyboards do not offer.

This matters day to day: many catalogue categories carry an accent in their French name, and several start with an É.

Some screens do not appear in your menu. Three possible reasons, and each page says so where it applies: your plan does not include the feature, your role does not allow it, or your brand's profile locks a whole section. A locked entry stays visible, greyed out, with a padlock and a "Pro" badge that opens an email to us.

#What your brand's profile is

At first sign-in, the console asks a question. That choice changes neither your plan nor your rights: it only decides which sections the menu shows, so that screens you have no use for stay out of your way. Every answer keeps the Digital Product Passport, which every offer includes.

On the Compliance + Identity offer, two answers:

• "Passports and piece tracking" locks the four NFC tools and hides the buttons that create pieces or encode chips, and nothing else.
• "Passports and pieces, chip encoding included" locks nothing.

On the Compliance offer, a single answer, "EU Digital Product Passport": this offer creates no piece, there is nothing else to choose.

The pages in this section name that profile by its code, dpp or full, because that is the value your brand carries. Two other codes are no longer offered but are still read for a brand that chose them before: basic, which also locks components and suppliers, the supply chain, DPP templates, DPP passports and DPP compliance, and custom, which locks nothing. A brand that has not answered yet has no profile, and nothing is locked.

The profile acts in three different ways depending on the screen. On most, it locks the menu entry without removing it. On the supply chain and on the whole DPP area, it is a hard lock: the direct address itself sends you back to the dashboard. And on the Settings tabs, the tab is genuinely removed. What decides your rights remains your plan and your role. If a section is missing, change your profile.

The sentence under each title below is the one the page announces itself.
