Nova organises everything into a small number of consistent building blocks. Once you understand these, every app works the same way.
Apps
An app is a collection of related pages and functionality for a business area - for example Risk, Audit or Incident management. You choose an app from the app switcher at the top of the screen. Administrators can control which apps and pages each user role can see.
Pages
Pages are what you view and interact with inside an app. A page can present a dashboard, one or more reports, or a form. Menu items for the pages you can access sit along the top of the app.
Dashboards
A dashboard is a page that brings together multiple components - reports, charts, data tables, hero counters and filters - to give an at-a-glance view of a business area. Dashboard filters let you slice the information across all of those components at once.
Records and forms
A record is a single item of data, such as one risk or one incident. Forms are the pages you use to create, view and edit records. Nova forms support a modern layout, rich guidance, and role-based visibility so different users see the fields relevant to them.
Moving between pages
When you move from one page to another, or drill into a record, Nova lets you return to the source page you came from, so you can navigate through data without losing your place.
