UI basics

When you first sign in to Opaque, you'll land on a clean, minimal interface designed to help you manage sensitive data, work across teams, and perform secure computations.

While the features available depend on your role—organization admin, workspace admin, or workspace member—the overall layout remains consistent across the platform. Here’s a quick tour of the main elements to help you get oriented.

Core interface elements

The Opaque interface includes the following core components, visible to all Opaque users:

  1. Navigation panel
  2. Page view
  3. Utility nav
  4. Opaque version

Core Opaque user interface elements

The core Opaque user interface elements.

Use the left-hand navigation panel to access the platform’s main sections. What you see here depends on your role:

  • Workspaces: View and switch between workspaces you’ve joined—or created, if you're a workspace admin.
  • Data: Connect datasets for use in workspaces.
  • Audit Log (org admins only): Track all actions on the platform for compliance and security verification.
  • Admin (org admins only): View organization members and assign workspace admin roles.
  • API key Retrieve keys for accessing Opaque services.

You can toggle the side navigation to icons only using the control at the bottom of the panel.

Page view

This section updates based on the item selected in the navigation panel. It’s where you’ll complete tasks, view data, and interact with different features based on your role and the page you're on.

Utility nav

Use the icons in the top-right corner to access:

  • Help (): Access the Opaque user guide.
  • Notifications (): View alerts and system messages.
  • User account (): View your sign-in email and log out.

Configuring your view

Each page in Opaque includes a table displaying relevant data, which you can customize using sorting and filtering options. You can click the menu in most columns to sort or filter rows in a table:

  • Sort by ASC sorts rows in ascending order based on that column's values (A to Z, or earliest to most recent date and time).
  • Sort by DESC sorts rows in descending order based on that column's values (Z to A, or most recent to earliest date and time).
  • Unsort re-sorts rows by their default order. Each table on a page has its own default order.

  • Filter enables you to set conditions based on that column, to display only rows that meet the specified condition.

    Note

    A table accepts only one active filter at a time.
