The Main Nav Panel for sits on the left side of the application. It allows you to quickly navigate to the main parts of the platform and indicates where you currently are.
Key functions (views)
The central section of the Main Nav Panel sets out all the main functions (views). Each of these is a single goto place that is optimized to its function. These main views are:
- Search
- Tasks
- News
- Events
- Discussions (chat)
- People (visual employee directory)
- Library (knowledge base)
- Teams (org charts)
- Listings (a list of offers or items that you can buy or take)
Note: Your organization might not have all these enabled, or might have renamed some of these views.
Key destinations
Just below the main functions (views) in the Main Nav Panel are Links and two Custom Views. Again, your organization might not have these enabled, and likely has given them customized names.
Links provides a quick way to jump to other resources and enterprise tools.
Custom Views will be customized to the exact need of your organization.

Resource Center
You can access our Resource Center via the circle icon at the bottom of the Main Nav Panel. Here you will find information and tutorials to help familiarize yourself with the different views and roles across the platform. System Admins will also be able to use the Resource Center to track the status of any active feature trials they may be running.
It also provides access to our Feature Request Form where you can submit suggestions for improvements and/or new features you’d like to see in the platform.
The Resource Center always displays content that is user-relevant, so feel free to explore and see what's there to discover!
Note: Ad/pop-up blocking browser extensions can interfere with the functionality of the Resource Center, so be sure to have them turned off for Jostle.
Action Bar
While not part of the Main Nav Panel, the Action Bar exists across the platform and is another key component for navigating the platform.
Located at the top of the screen, it provides different options depending on what view you are in. These come in the form of menus represented by filters, and other icons.
