# Navigate the PRIZM dashboard, nav bar, and search

> Learn how to use the PRIZM dashboard and top navigation bar to access Assets, Metrics, Alerts, Issues, Analytics, and the global search.

After you sign in, PRIZM opens on the **Asset** page, your starting point for browsing the data your organization has connected. From here, every major section of the platform is one click away through the top navigation bar. This guide walks you through each element of the header so you can find your way around quickly.

## The navigation bar

The top navigation bar runs across the entire header and is always visible, regardless of which page you're on.

![Top navigation bar with the PRIZM logo, the Asset, Metric, Alert and Issue tabs, a More menu, the asset search box, notifications, a theme toggle and the user menu](https://mintcdn.com/dqlabs/-llXdpktU4fg82jU/images/guides/top-navigation.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=-llXdpktU4fg82jU\&q=85\&s=24b867d14d67202efc1df7f0f2a35881)

The top navigation bar

On the left side, the PRIZM logo anchors the header. Clicking it takes you back to the Asset page from anywhere in the application.

The primary navigation items sit immediately to the right of the logo:

> [card] [Asset](https://docs.dqlabs.ai/guides/searching-assets.md)
>
> Browse, search, and discover every data asset connected to your organization: tables, views, attributes, pipelines, reports, and more.

> [card] [Metric](https://docs.dqlabs.ai/concepts/metrics.md)
>
> Review the data quality and observability metrics defined across your assets, grouped by context: Structural, Operational, Performance, and Business.

> [card] [Alert](https://docs.dqlabs.ai/guides/managing-alerts.md)
>
> Review the alerts that metrics have raised when a value falls outside its accepted range.

> [card] [Issue](https://docs.dqlabs.ai/guides/tracking-issues.md)
>
> Track and manage data quality problems from discovery through resolution. Cards at the top show how many issues are New, In Progress, Resolved, Blocked, and Reopened.

### The "More" menu

After the four primary navigation items, a **More** button with a chevron icon opens a menu of the other areas of PRIZM:

| Item | What it is for |
| - | - |
| **Access** | Manage user access and permissions |
| **Action** | Create and manage workflow actions |
| **Analytics** | Explore data insights and trends |
| **Audience** | Manage audience segments |
| **Exception** | Review data quality exceptions and manage reports |
| **Semantics** | Manage the semantic layer. Opens a submenu with Application, Domain, Glossary, Product, and Tag |
| **Source** | Manage data source connections |
| **Steward** | Manage and monitor steward activities and actions |

> [!TIP]
>
> Drag an item from the **More** menu onto the navigation bar to pin it as a tab. The bar holds up to four pinned tabs.

## Global search

The search field in the upper-right corner of the header lets you find any asset across your connected data sources without first navigating to the Asset page.

![Search box open before typing, showing Recent Searches and a list of Critical Assets](https://mintcdn.com/dqlabs/-llXdpktU4fg82jU/images/guides/global-search.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=-llXdpktU4fg82jU\&q=85\&s=2a4ea7c982cadde8934e8eeb3e0a6aa2)

The search box with recent searches and critical assets

* The field shows a magnifying glass on the left and the keyboard shortcut **⌘ K** on the right as a reminder.
* When you select the empty search field, a panel opens with your **Recent Searches** and a list of **Critical Assets** you can open directly.
* As you type, matching assets appear with their asset type and location. Select one to open it.

> [!TIP]
>
> Press **⌘ K** on Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows to open global search from anywhere in PRIZM without reaching for your mouse.

## Notifications, theme, and your profile

Three icon buttons sit to the right of the search field:

* **Notifications**: the bell icon shows a count of notifications waiting for you.
* **Theme toggle**: switch between light and dark themes.
* **User menu**: the person icon opens your account menu.

The user menu

The user menu shows who you are signed in as and your role, then groups its items:

| Group | Items |
| - | - |
| **Settings** | **Organization**, **Command Center** (see [Command Center](https://docs.dqlabs.ai/architecture/command-center/overview.md)), **Your Tasks**, and **Your Profile** |
| **Help** | **Documentation**, **Support**, **Legal Notice**, and **Logout** |
