Understanding the GUI

User Interface Elements

The IBM webMethods Integration home page is designed to provides an intuitive and efficient starting point for managing the integration tasks. Before you start creating integrations, let’s first get familiarized with the IBM webMethods Integration Graphical User Interface (GUI).

IBM webMethods Integration home page is the first screen that you see after logging in to your tenant. From the home page, you can perform a lot of activites such as create and manage projects, monitor tenant activities, navigate to recipes, switch between environments and applications, see notifications, and manage your profile and settings with ease.

Here’s an overview of what you can typically find on the IBM webMethods Integration home page:

The main elements that make up the IBM webMethods Integration home page are:

• Main Navigation: A top-level menu bar that provides access to different sections of the platform, such as Projects, Monitor, Recipes, Environments, App Switcher, Documentation, Notifications, Profile and Settings. This menu provides an easy navigation between various functionalities and is visible across all pages.

  You also have sub-menus that allow you to navigate within the functionality. For example, the Projects tab has a submenu: Integrations, APIs, Events, Connectors, Configurations, Deployments.

  Based on the user’s role and access privileges, the menu items appear.

• Search Options: Tools for searching and filtering through your integrations, connections, and other assets are typically available to help you quickly find what you need.
