The site list and search are on the left, and the map on the right shows a pin for each site. It is where you open a site, search across your sites, and create new ones. > [!NOTE] > **Note:** If your instance contains only one site, NavVis IVION opens that site directly and the All Sites page is not shown. The left panel contains, from top to bottom: - A greeting and the name of your instance. - The **Search sites** field. - **Recent**: the sites you opened most recently. This replaces the old **Last visited** list. - **All sites**: every site you have access to. - **Create site**. Each site card shows the site name, the date it was last published, and an options menu. ## Open a site Click a site card in the **Recent** or **All sites** list, or click its pin on the map. The site opens directly in the site view. ![Map interface displaying various sites including Water Treatment Plant and Heating Room.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-23 at 13.24.51.png) ## Find a site Enter a name in the **Search sites** field. The lists filter as you type and the map zooms to the matching pin.

When several sites are close together, they are grouped into a single pin with a number. Zoom in to separate them. ## Manage your instance The icons on the right of the topbar open instance-wide tools. Which icons appear depends on your permissions. | Icon | Use it to | | --- | --- | | **Audit** | Configure audit settings for the instance. | | **User management** | Create and manage users, groups, and their permissions. | | **Instance settings** | Configure instance-wide settings. See [Configuring Your Instance](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/configuring-your-instance). | | **Account** | Edit your profile, set your language and unit system, open the documentation, and sign out. See [Viewing and Changing User Settings](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/viewing-and-changing-user-settings). | ### Audit ![Audit interface displaying options for POIs, measurements, and download buttons.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/audit.png) ### User management ![Admin dashboard displaying user management options and site listings for navigation.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-23 at 14.38.20.png) ### Instance settings ![Admin dashboard displaying site settings and map view for location management.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/instance screen.png) ### Account ![Admin dashboard displaying site management options and user profile settings.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-07-23 at 14.38.32.png) --- ### FAQ #### What happened to the instance dashboard? It is now the All Sites page. The layout has changed — a searchable site list on the left and a map on the right — and the topbar is labelled **All sites**. #### What happened to the Last visited list? It is now the **Recent** section at the top of the site list. #### How do I zoom in and out on the map? Scroll forward to zoom in and backward to zoom out, or use the **+** and **−** controls at the top right of the map. Double-clicking a location also zooms to it. #### How do I move around the map without the zoom controls? Drag the map with the mouse. #### Why does one pin show a number? Sites that are close together are grouped into one pin. The number is how many sites it contains. Zoom in to separate them. #### Where do I find the list of all sites in my instance? On the All Sites page, which opens when you sign in. From inside a site, click the site name in the topbar and then **Back to all sites**. #### Why don't I see the All Sites page? Your instance contains only one site, so NavVis IVION opens it directly. #### How do I switch to another site without going back to the All Sites page? Click the site name in the topbar to open the **Recent sites** dropdown, then select a recent site or search for one. #### Where do I manage users and instance settings? Use the **User management** and **Instance settings** icons on the right of the topbar. Both require the corresponding permissions.
