Navigation

JARVIS RD Assistant uses a consistent application shell across all pages.

AppShell layout

The application is divided into three regions:

  • Sidebar (left) — primary navigation, grouped by function.
  • TopBar (top) — global controls: quick search, jobs indicator, Pomodoro timer, and theme toggle.
  • Main content area — the active page.

On narrow viewports (below the md breakpoint) the sidebar is hidden and replaced by a hamburger menu button (☰) on the left of the TopBar; tapping it slides the full sidebar in from the left as a drawer (a Sheet overlay). Tapping outside the drawer or selecting a destination closes it.

The sidebar is divided into five labelled groups identified by Roman numerals. Each group has a short sub-label describing its purpose. The Ⅴ Admin group is only rendered for users with the admin role; it is hidden entirely from regular users.

Group Items (route)
Ⅰ Today — What needs your attention right now. Home (/) · My Day (/my-day) · Pulse Deck (/pulse) · Library (/feed) · Discover (/feed?surface=search)
Ⅱ Read — Your library, projects, and the graph that connects them. Projects (/projects) · Knowledge Graph (/knowledge) · Citation Graph (/citations) · Consensus (/consensus) · Extraction Table (/extractions)
Ⅲ Learn — Cards, analytics, and how your knowledge grows. Learning Cards (/cards) · Analytics (/analytics)
Ⅳ Ask — Cross-paper reasoning and workspace. Ask (/ask)
Ⅴ Admin — Users, health, backups, and audit trail. (admin role only) User Management (/admin/users) · System Health (/admin/system-health) · Audit Log (/admin/audit-log) · Backups (/admin/backups) · System Logs (/logs)

Density modes — simple and full

The sidebar has two density modes, remembered per device:

  • Simple — a short rail of the daily essentials (Home · My Day · Library · Ask · Cards). Everything else is one "Show all features" toggle away in the sidebar footer. This is the default the first time you use JARVIS, so the app isn't overwhelming.
  • Full — the complete grouped layout shown above. This is the default for returning users.

Switch modes any time with the "Show all features" / "Simple view" toggle in the sidebar footer. Your choice is stored on your device and survives logout; it does not change which pages exist — every destination is always reachable.

Below a separator, the sidebar footer is visible to all users:

  • Density toggle ("Show all features" / "Simple view") — switches the sidebar between simple and full modes (see above).
  • Settings link (/settings) — navigates to the Settings page.
  • HealthDots pill — shows live service health indicators. Admin users can click the pill to navigate to /admin/system-health; non-admin users see an in-place popover.
  • Logout button — ends the current session.
