Console workspace

Navigate the Console

View as Markdown

This article describes how to move around the Hyjal Console at console.hyjal.cloud: the top-level surfaces you pass through before you reach a Resource. Read it once so the names in the rest of the console guide are already familiar. Everything here has a counterpart in the hyjal CLI.

Organizations

The Console opens on your Organizations. An Organization is the top-level account container: it holds members, roles, and billing. If you belong to more than one, the Organization switcher in the top-left of the top bar changes which one you are viewing. The switcher shows the current Organization name and opens a list of the others you can access.

Members, roles, and billing for the current Organization are reached from the switcher menu. Access rules are covered in Teams and access.

The Project grid

Selecting an Organization shows its Project grid: one card per Project. Each card carries the Project name, a count of its Resources, and its recent deploy status. A search field above the grid filters cards by name.

The example throughout these docs is the acme Project: a web front end and a Go api, backed by Neon Postgres.

Open a Project card to enter its workspace. From there the three working surfaces are the Explorer, the Board, and the Resource workspace with its tabs.

The top bar

The top bar is present on every Console screen.

The command palette

Press ⌘K anywhere in the Console to open the command palette. The palette is a keyboard-first way to jump to a Project, a Resource, or a Console action without leaving the keyboard. Type to filter; press Enter to run the selected entry.

The palette is the fastest route between two Resources in different Projects. For opening files and Resources inside the Project you already have open, use quick-open (⌘P), described in Workspace tabs.

⌘K is the global command palette. ⌘P is scoped quick-open within the current Project. They are different surfaces.

Theme

The theme toggle in the top bar switches the Console between light and dark. The choice is stored per account and applies across every Organization and Project you open.
