Home

Track work in flight, current usage, and the fastest route back into what you were doing

Overview​

The Home page is the first page you see after logging in. It reports what is running now, what you have used against your tier, and what to do next.

Refresh reloads every section of the page, and the timestamp below it records when the data last refreshed.

Onboarding checklist​

A new account opens with a setup checklist covering the four things worth doing first. These are running a task, configuring a custom core, connecting a repository, and creating an API key. Each entry takes you to the page where you do it, and the checklist goes away once all four are done.

Alerts​

Alerts appear when something needs your attention, such as a build or task that failed, a monthly quota you have hit or are close to hitting, or a Compute Engine API key that has expired or expires within 7 days. Each alert is either a warning, for something approaching a limit, or critical, for a limit already reached.

Each alert links to the page that resolves it, and dismisses it.

Quick actions​

The quick actions row links to whatever is most useful to you right now. The set changes with the state of your account. During onboarding it points at the remaining setup steps, and afterwards at the work you are most likely to return to.

Tiles​

Six tiles report the state of your account.

  • Compute activity plots the tasks you started on each of the past 7 days.
  • Active tasks lists what is running or queued right now, with a link to open each one. View all opens Builds and Tasks.
  • Compute Engine API Key reports how many keys are active and lets you create one without leaving the page. API Settings opens the Compute Engine API tab.
  • Usage this period shows your monthly quotas as used-against-limit bars and reports when the period resets. View usage opens the Usage page.
  • Cores lists the cores available to you. View all opens the Cores page.
  • Learn links to documentation and examples selected for your account.

Recently completed​

Your six most recently finished builds and tasks, each with its core, source, duration, and final status. View on a task row opens its Task Detail page, and the copy icon beside an ID copies the full ID to your clipboard. The Builds and Tasks link in the header opens the full history.

Example repositories​

Curated open-source repositories you can build and run without writing anything yourself. Clicking a card opens a dialog with the application description.

Open goes to the repository on GitHub in a new browser tab, and Connect () starts the connect flow for it on the Repositories page. A repository already in your account shows Connected instead. Browse all opens API App Highlights.

The navigation drawer​

The navigation drawer sits on the left of every page. The Collapse sidebar () toggle next to the platform logo narrows it to an icon-only column.

  • Home returns to the Home landing page.
  • Code Playground is where you write and edit single-source-file applications and run them on C0 cores. Run Your First Program walks through a first run.
  • Cores lists the C0 cores available to you and lets you create custom configurations.
  • Data and Sensors is where you manage data sources, drives, and Signaloid Sensor Gateways.
  • Repositories lists the GitHub repositories you have connected to the platform.
  • API App Highlights shows curated demo applications powered by the Compute Engine API.
  • Builds and Tasks shows every active and completed build and task on your account, with a small badge counting active tasks.
  • Usage shows resource usage for the current billing period.
  • Billing is where you manage your Signaloid Cloud subscription.
  • Settings is where you configure the platform and your account.

Two extra items sit at the bottom of the drawer:

  • Documentation opens an in-app right-side drawer with the docs you are reading. Holding Cmd or Ctrl while clicking opens the docs site in a new browser tab instead.
  • Help opens a menu where you can start or restart the QuickStart Tour or Detailed Tour, or contact Signaloid support.

The top bar​

The top bar carries two controls:

  • Notifications () opens a panel of recent release notes, and shows a badge when there are unread ones.
  • The user menu links to Profile Settings, the Signaloid service agreement and policies, and Log Out. It also reports the platform version you are running, which is worth quoting when you contact support.
