Essentials
Choose a Console screen for pending work, indexed history, participant context, or search.
Whichever management area holds the actual work, these are the screens a Console session starts from or returns to. Dashboard orients you right after sign-in. Actions runs a pending operation you can execute; anything else shows "Unavailable", except a custody-pending row, which names your provider and explains that it is still signing. Activity is the read-only record of what already happened. Acting asDelegated Authority lets a signed-in operator work inside another party's account. One check decides who may enter; the party's own roles decide the rest.Read the concept switches which participantA participant lets every role grant, claim, audit row, and delegated action point at one stable subject, so a person's history never splits.Read the concept the rest of the Console treats as active, and so whose data and authority it uses next: a participant is the platform's one record for a person, an organisation, or an account. Search jumps straight to a record you already know by name or address, without navigating menus to find it. Use the relevant management screen to change an asset, participant, or report.
Reach for the sidebar directly when you already know which management screen you need; it gets there faster than any page here. Come back to Essentials when you are not sure what needs attention, or when you need to confirm an operation actually finished. You also land here when you administer more than one organisation or wallet and need to change which one the Console is scoped to.
Match what you need to a screen
| What you need | Open, and why |
|---|---|
| You just signed in, or are not sure what needs attention | Dashboard: role-gated cards route you onward |
| You need to run or check a pending operation | Actions: the active participant's queue |
| You need to confirm an operation already settled | Activity: indexed history, never work still in flight |
| You manage more than one organisation or wallet | Acting as: relocates scope without switching your sign-in |
| You already know the name or address you want | Search: opens the detail page, or copies the address for a contact or system contract |
Pending work and settled work look alike at a glance. An operation still waiting for you lives on Actions; Activity holds only indexed history and never shows work still in flight.
Check the active participant
Dashboard, Actions, and Activity follow the participant selected in Acting as. Dashboard uses that participant's roles to choose its cards. Actions lists its work, and Activity lists its indexed events on the selected network.
Search uses a different scope. Asset visibility follows your signed-in account, while other categories follow the active organisation and network or your personal contacts. Changing Acting as does not give Search the selected participant's asset holdings.
