When successfully logged in you are usually linked to the grid editing dialog. How this dialog appears to you depends on how your local niota admin has configured the system. Your local niota admin can configure e.g.

the look and feel

• theme - (color, background image, font)
• language - Englisch/German
• branding - logo, claim

This menu bar is set up according to the current user's rights and the settings of the catalog object instance (represented as a grid). It can hold various amount of menu items, but minimum one and maximum six. The menu items can be the followings:

• export: exports the content of the grid into an excel file. In the case of a master - detail setting, the content of the main table will be exported.
• import: imports an excel table into a database table. In the case of a master - detail setting, the content of the main table will be overwritten. Data import overwrites all of the data of the database table!
• callable objects: opens the table of the available callable objects
• favourite table: saves the current grid as favourite. After the next login table will be loaded automatically.
• reset favourite table: clears the favourite table setting. There won't be table load after login.
