What is Ishtar.365?
With Ishtar.365, we offer a digital workplace, for the entire organization. This application will be the overall dashboard and starting point for all employees. Through the clear tile structure (which should reflect your organization), each user can easily find what they are looking for. The application grows with the organization and can be expanded at any time with all other tools from the Ishtar.365 suite.

Once you change the language, all opened Ishtar applications will immediately display in the selected language.

Homepage
Once logged in, or every time you click on home button in the navigation bar, as a user you will land on the home page of Ishtar.365. This page displays all the shortcuts (later called tiles) configured by your organization's administrator.
The administrator has the option of displaying this home page in 2 ways. The default home page looks like Figure B. But it can also be displayed in combination with an intranet or web page, see Figure A.
All tiles from the tile page(s) are then displayed one below the other in a navigation menu on the left side. The menu is displayed only when you hover
your mouse over the arrow . If desired, you can choose to pin the menu via the next button , so that it remains permanently visible. Once you click on the arrow , the full tile page is displayed. The page can be hidden again by clicking the cross in the upper right corner.
Clicking on a shortcut/tile opens the corresponding link, page or application.
Only tiles to which you have rights are displayed. It is perfectly possible that this page looks completely different for a colleague. In that case, contact your administrator.
Ishtar apps
If you have a license for one or more applications from our Ishtar suite, you can open them via the '+' button. A drop-down menu will then show all the applications that have not yet been opened. Once you select an application, it will open in the same browser window. You will notice that a new tab is added next to the Ishtar.365 app for the selected application. This way, you can easily and quickly switch between all open applications. To return to Ishtar.365, click on the far left tab/app.
If you no longer see a '+' button, you have probably already opened all applications for which you have a license. Contact your administrator if you need additional licensing.
To close an application, select the open application and click the cross. It is then closed.
For your ease of use, any applications you had previously opened will reappear each time you restart Ishtar.365.
Navigation
In most applications of our Ishtar suite, the following icon allows you to open a navigation menu where you have an overview of the different screens and/or functionalities. This menu can vary from one application and user to another, depending on his or her role and rights. Once you click on a button, the desired screen is immediately displayed. You will not find this button in Ishtar.365 itself, as there are no additional screens. Only administrators can access the configuration section via the settings button in the top right corner.
Search
Pretty much anywhere in our applications you will have the ability to perform a quick search. Using the search button , you can enter a simple search query as, for example, the name of a customer and then press the Enter key. The filter will be activated immediately, displaying only the data that match your search term.
Note: This search feature is currently in preview phase and is gradually being implemented everywhere. Although the search button is displayed, entering a search term may not yet yield results.
You will soon also have the ability to perform a more comprehensive search.
