# 3.0 - Main Interface
The screenshot below shows the layout of the Vantage user interface. Most of the window is taken up by the **current page view**.
When the user first logs in the current page view will show the Wells List. The current page view can be switched to other pages by accessing them in the **Main Menu** or the **Sidebar Menu**. Additional options, including the **User Account Settings**, can be found in the top right corner of the page.
## 3.1 - Main Menu
The Main Menu can be accessed by clicking on the icon in the top left of the Vantage window. It contains options for managing your database, user management and organisation management. It also displays the current oil price and global rig count.
See **section 4.0 – Main Menu** for an explanation of all of the features in the menu.
## 3.2 - Sidebar Menu
The Sidebar Menu is arranged down the left-hand side of the Vantage window. It can be collapsed or expanded by clicking on the **>** or **<** arrow at the top of the menu. It allows the user to access the other main features of Innova Vantage. See **sections 5.0 – 15.0** for explanations of each feature.
## 3.3 - Account Settings
Click on the icon in the top right corner of the page to access the Account Settings menu. This menu contains features that allow you to customise various aspects of your user profile.
**Dark/Light Mode:** Allows the user to toggle the display mode between dark (white text on black) or light (black text on white).
**Profile:** Opens the User Profile page. This page displays your current role, and the permissions and feature access that your role provides. Roles are defined in the User Management page – see **section 4.9.**
In the Permissions section, you can see the permissions that are granted by your assigned role:
* **Admin:** Can add, remove, and edit users and roles.
* **Approve:** Allows the user to approve bid sheets.
* **Create:** Can create new items in the database.
* **Edit:** Can edit items in the database.
* **Delete:** Can delete items in the database.
The Features section shows which parts of the Innova product line you have access to. The available features are governed by the features that you organization has purchased, as well as the role that you username has been assigned. Each column in the table represents access to each Innova product:
* **Vision:** Defines the features available when you are using the Innova Vision app on your smartphone.
* **Vantage:** Defines the features that you have access to when logged in to Innova Vantage.
* **API:** Defines the features you have access to when using the Innova API to retrieve data using third party apps.
* **WSX:** Only the ‘Base’ feature is relevant in this column. If this is checked, you can use your username and password to log in to your organization’s remote server database when using Well Seeker X. All other features for Well Seeker X are granted by your license.
**Favourites:** This menu allows the user to set selected rigs, operators and districts as favourites. Many pages in Vantage can be filtered to only show wells that fall under the favourite criteria set here. This allows the user to quickly find important wells when working in Vantage. Double click in the right hand column to select and deselect items in each category, then click on **Submit** to apply your changes.
On some pages (Such as the Dashboard - **section 5.0**) favourited wells will have a star next to their status icon. Clicking on this icon will add/remove that well’s rig to your favourites list.
**Alerts:** Opens the Alerts dialog. See **section 3.4 below** for details on the Alerts System**.**
**Change Units:** Allows the user to change the unit set they are using. The unit sets that are available here are set up by the organization admin in the User Management page **(section 4.9)**.
**Change Password:** Allows the user to change their password for Vantage. Enter your new password in both the ‘new’ and ‘confirm’ boxes, then click on Submit.
**Logout:** Logs the user out of Vantage.
## 3.4 - Alert System
The Innova Vantage Alert System provides customizable notifications to help monitor wells, drilling activity, anti-collision monitoring, and data exchange. The user can configure their own alerts through the Accounts Settings menu in the top right. They can configure alerts for other users via User Management (**section 4.9**).
**Important: Most alerts are only sent for wells that are both active and marked as favourite.**
### 3.4.1 - Alert Types
Innova Vantage supports seven alert types:
* **Data Acquisition:** Notifications related to collecting and storing WITS data
* **Anti-Collision:** Alerts triggered by potential collisions.
* **Well Notifications:** Updates on well activity.
* **Drilling Parameters:** Alerts for key drilling metrics and thresholds.
* **Data Bridge:** Alerts for importing third party data activities.
* **Organization Notifications:** Alerts triggered by changes in Organization. This alert type is not tied to a specific well and does not need to have a favourite well linked to it.
* **BHA Notifications:** Alerts triggered by changes in BHA.
**Note:** Anti-collision alerts rely on the configuration in the [**Anti-Collision Dashboard.**](https://vantage.innova-drilling.com/anti-collision-dashboard) Ensure that dashboard settings are properly defined to generate relevant alerts.
### 3.4.2 - How to Add an Alert
1. To add a new alert, click in the icon close to the desired alert type.
2. Select the desired alert from the Alert Type dropdown menu.
3. Select the Severity from the dropdown menu options. This will set what notification type the user will receive and help prioritize responses.
4. If ‘Email’ is the notification method selected, user will receive the following notifications:
1. **Info:** Informational alerts, no immediate action required
b. **Warning:** Requires attention but not urgent
c**. Critical:** Requires immediate action
**Note:** Some alerts may only have ‘Info’ available in the Severity dropdown menu.
5. User may have more configurations to set in the alert, like Phase, Rig, Min and Max values, Use Min Depth, Use Max Depth, Include Projections and Send Once. Set these options as desired and click ‘Add’ to save the alert.
6. If the user wants to add another alert under the same alert type, select +Add Another in the bottom left corner and set the new alert as desired.
### 3.4.3 - Notification Methods
When an alert is set, a red notification badge is displayed next to the corresponding **Alert Type**, showing the number of active alerts for that category. Users can then select how they would like to receive notifications for each alert type:
* **Dashboard Notification** – Sends alerts directly to the Dashboard page.
* **Email Notification** – Sends alerts to the registered email address.
For each notification type, users can define the alert frequency by specifying a number and a time unit (**minutes, hours or days**):
After changing the notification method and frequency, user needs to click in ‘**Apply**’ at the bottom right to save their changes and start receiving the alert notifications.
## 3.5 - Additional Options
**Well Selector:** When viewing one of the Well View pages (**section 7.0**) the name of the selected well will appear in the top left, and the well selector icon will show in the top right. Clicking on this icon allows the user to change the selected well.
Filter the list by typing the name of the desired well into the search bar at the top. The pinned filters from the Dashboard (**section 5.0**) are also available. Clicking on the star icon in the top right will filter to show only favourited wells. Once you have found the desired well, click on it to select it.
**Help:** Opens the Innova documentation page. The page initially displays how-to videos for Vantage, but written guides and this manual are also accessible using the contents menu on the left.
**Chat Rooms:** The Chat feature allows you to create chat rooms to exchange messages with other members of your organization.
Click on the icon to create a new chat room. In the window that appears, select the other members of your organization to invite them, and then click on apply.
Click on the icon to display the chat rooms you are currently a member of. Select a chat room to see messages, and to send messages using the message box at the bottom of the page. Click on the  icon to leave a chatroom.
**Organizations:** If your username has been granted access to multiple organisations this menu will become available, allowing you to switch between the server databases for each organisation. For more information, see **section 4.9.4 – Database Access.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.innova-drilling.com/introduction/innova-engineering-manual/innova-vantage-manual/3.0-main-interface.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
