    The Fabric Portal user interface has three panels. Running from left to right:

    Description

    Navigation Panel

    This is where you can jump between channels, your files and files shared with you. The navigation panel can be opened and closed with the hamburger menu (icon with 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner of the interface).

    Content Panel

    Depending on the area you have navigated to, the middle area of the interface is reserved for content. This could be the video player or a list of videos in a channel.

    Dynamic Panel

    This panel will open to display information relating to the content being explored. Including listing the interactive content in the touchcast, file information or who your content has been shared with.


    To open a video, you must select the video thumbnail and this will launch the video player view (which automatically closes the navigation and dynamic panels). The Fusion Player navigation is straightforward since common interface elements of video players will be found here, like playing or pausing the video or jumping to a new point in the timeline. Under the video player is a place to make comments on the video that can be viewed by other portal members.

  2. The library will show up as a side panel. You'll see "My Files" as a drop down option on the top right corner. You can filter your files form here by choosing one of the following options. You can also click on the filter icon to manually search for a file.
