So as I explained last time, there are these these two different modes that you can use anytime.
There's anything cloud, which is when N-r10, the company is managing an installation that you're connecting
to remotely.
And then there's self-hosted, which is when you run the code yourself and you run it either on your
computer or on a server or somewhere, and we're going to get to that later.
For now, we are working with cloud because it's the one that gets us up and running as fast as possible.
There is there is also the the white label mode I mentioned too, but that's that's a bit different.
So anyway non cloud that's what we're using.
And there's like a super big picture thing that I have to explain to you some basic terminology about
moving your way around.
And, and that is confusing and that I want to I want to get completely crystal clear right up front.
When you first sign in to Nw10, you're signing in at the account level, and the first thing you see
is details about your account with cloud account level information at the cloud.
That includes something called an instance.
The instance is an nw10 engine.
It's the software running that is designed to automate business processes, that is nw10, that is running,
and it's called an instance, and that has its own sort of set of screens.
And those screens allow you to run a number of different workflows.
Each workflow represents a business process that you are automating, and there can be many of them
that are part of your instance.
Your instance can have many workflows.
So there are those three levels of granularity the cloud level, the instance level, the engine, and
then each workflow that's being managed by that instance.
And so there are these these different screens that you can come to if you've just signed in, you see
a screen that's that's called the dashboard.
And it's also called the admin panel.
Those are two different terms for the same thing.
That is the cloud level, account level details that you see and that the URL, the web URL you'll see
there looks like app.
We'll see that in just a second.
And then within that you can go into your instance.
You'll see there's a running instance for you.
And when you go into that instance, you land on a screen that is sometimes called home and sometimes
called overview.
We'll see that at home, I think is the most common way of describing it.
It is the home screen of your instance, and you can see that I've given the URL that I get, which
is like.
Cloud slash workflows.
It's the home screen.
And within that there are a number of these workflows.
And each one you can click on and bring up the screen.
That is where you are digging into that workflow.
And this goes by a number of names.
Sometimes it's called the canvas.
The editor in that the I think the truth is that the editor is the whole screen, and the canvas is
the section that covers most of that the editors screen to be pedantic about it, but basically people
will will call it the canvas or the editor, and you can see that the URL for that is like.
My my my instance URL slash workflow, and then some ID for that workflow.
And that is bringing up this editor view of the workflow.
So those are the three levels of granularity that cloud the instance the workflow.
Let's go to N810.
Let's see those three right now.
Okay so here I am I'm at that's where I've gone in my browser.
And I've got like a sign in button here, which is what I can press.
And because I've already signed in before I come to this screen, let me make this a bit bigger.
And maybe you've seen this screen already and it's confused you for a second because it looks a bit
different to what you see when you're inside your actual running instance.
This this is the dashboard.
This is the cloud account screen.
We are in here now in this screen that you can think of as if we're logging into the server as a whole
and we see like dashboard as the option that we're on right now.
There is also an option manage which takes us to stuff about the plan.
It's to do with what version I'm currently.
I've just upgraded to version two.
It's the beta version.
I'm sure you were on the final version of two, and probably several on from that, because it changes
pretty regularly and you can see all sort of cloud level settings that we see here.
I've got 22 days left in my free trial.
I originally had a 14 day free trial with this account, and then it got extended because I did a few
things.
You may have had a similar experience and there's a billing tab, an export tab.
So this is all the cloud level of granularity.
This is that first top level the cloud dashboard.
And you can see right here on the cloud dashboard there is this thing this square box that is showing
a an instance.
This is a running installation of the software that's running on the cloud, and I would go into that
by clicking the open instance button, which is what I will do.
Now here we go.
That is the cloud screen.
We're now going in to the N810 screen.
And this is what it looks like when you are at that first page, which is sometimes called the home
page.
Uh, and uh, but, but yeah, we'll, we'll see.
There are other names for an overview.
It also says at the top, but I think home is the most common name for it.
And you'll see the URL has changed.
As I promised it now has the name of this running instance in it.
It's Edna for me cloud slash workflows.
And we're looking here at an overview of our workflows that is now within the installation.
This is now looking at the actual software running.
And if we were running a local installation, if we were self-hosting we would see this too.
This is this is the software itself, not looking at our account level details.
And let me make this a little bit bigger too by pressing Command Plus.
And you can see this is telling me that that overall I've got um I haven't run anything.
There's nothing has failed.
Zero failure rates.
This is all completely empty.
You might have one workflow in there from what we did yesterday, in which case that'll be showing uh
or if you've not created anything, then you get that very first screen that we saw yesterday that had
like create from scratch or something as, as one of the buttons.
Uh, and you can also you can see here on the left is the, is the main navigation.
There's a button here that will expand it and give us more words.
We are currently in this page called overview that you could also call the home.
And there is then also a page called personal.
This is representing a project.
This is a set as a subset of the workflows associated with personal I.
Also I created a project called my project which I did by pressing that plus button.
Then you probably don't see this but but you could get get the same thing by pressing the plus.
But I've gone back to overview here.
This is the overview screen, the home screen within the instance.
And to belabor the point, there's a button here called Admin Panel and Admin panel.
Again lots of lots of names for the same thing.
This is going to take me back to that cloud dashboard.
This thing called the dashboard Cloud Admin panel is another word for it.
It seems back here I can press Open Instance and it's going to flip me back to this.
So here I am at cloud.
Inside the instance I click on admin panel and I'm going back to the cloud account level.
This is something which is no longer running software.
It's just the server that contains my instance.
I imagine this is super clear for you now, but because it's got different terms, I wanted to go through
it just just to finish off what's going on over here.
Templates.
This is something which allows you to have like pre-setup workflows that you can As it sounds, you
can start from something that's already been built, and you can you can copy it as your way of getting
a head start.
So we will at some point be looking at, at templates.
But but generally we'll be creating things from scratch because that's the best way to learn.
But then you'll be able to come in here and see all sorts of things that have been pre-built for you,
but it will make more sense once we've done some ourselves.
Um, and then there's a bunch of AI related features, as is often the way.
And there's also a settings screen, which is our gateway to lots of the, the controls that are the
settings associated with this running instance of N810.
And so of course, I'd mentioned there are three levels of granularity.
There's the account level that we'd seen and the the cloud dashboard or the admin panel.
At the top there's this which is looking at the home screen of the running N810 instance.
And then we can go where we're currently on that home page.
We can we can press Create Workflow right here.
And this is going to bring us to the editor.
This is where we are editing a Think a particular workflow.
A workflow, of course, that represents automating one business process.
And this editor thing, this screen we're looking at, you can see now up here we've got the.
Workflow.
And now it's just got like a new or a new screen with some project ID baked in there.
And this is what we are, we are looking at.
And uh, you can see that this part of the screen right here, this is what's known as the canvas,
uh, which is where we can we can drag and drop different bits of our workflow.
That's then those are the three levels.
To go back to that home page, we can just press personal here back.
We have gone, you know, already.
We could go back to the admin panel, back to that that cloud screen.
That is how you flip between those three levels.
And just so you build some muscle memory, go in now and go between those three levels a couple of times
so that you feel really good about how they fit together.
