Example of the Marketing Cloud components

The Marketing Cloud UI is made up of four distinct areas:

• The Sidebar (1).
• The Main window (2).
• The Information panel (3).
• The Options drop-down panel (4).

The Sidebar

The Sidebar normal view with the Hub options displayed

The Sidebar enables you to directly access all the pages of each Marketing Cloud module. For example, when you click Hub, links to its Dashboard, Customers, Analytics and Automations pages display, together with the Settings page if you are an Admin user.

Note:
The modules that are active in the sidebar depend upon your permissions. Only the modules you have access to can be highlighted and clicked.

The Sidebar itself can be displayed in two formats:

• The normal view.
  Displays the module names and their associated icons.
• The compact view.
  Only displays the module icons.
  Hover your mouse over the appropriate module icon to display links to its pages.

If you use, for example, a tablet to access the Marketing Cloud UI, you may need to toggle the Sidebar to the compact view, to be able to see more of the selected page in the Main window.
