The Refined Risk application has introduced a brand new redesign of the user interface, offering a clean layout that is mobile friendly and easy to navigate. 

  • The previous "Jump To" menu header has been replaced with a drop-down menu, a property/tenant search box and a settings function



  • When a user first logs into the system, they will land on the Portfolio Dashboard view. This view will display dashboards for the module selected across the entire portfolio. Users can switch to different module Portfolio Dashboards from the drop-down menu icon on the top left of the page.



  • Previous client filters are now available as "Dashboard Filter" under the gear icon on the top right.

     



  • If a user wishes to switch to the full Module view, they will need to select a property, either by using the search bar or by selecting one from the new Property List or Building List dashboard.

      



  • Once on a property's Landing page, users can navigate through the module's menu items by clicking the menu icon in the top left corner once again. If they wish to change module's or return to the Portfolio Dashboard view, they can click "Switch To"  at the top of the menu.
