Elixir Repertoire Server provides a web interface that allows authenticated users to generate data, render reports, view dashboards and run jobs as well as viewing archived information, such as PDF reports and Excel files. In addition, the web interface provides a set of administration tools that handle the day-to-day administration requirements: creating users, reviewing logs, backing up the database, etc.

Once you have logged on to the server, by pointing your browser at the server location (e.g. http://localhost:8080/), you will see a menu bar of options and the list of current filesystems below, if you want to start immediately navigating the repository. The server web pages have been designed so that you can make full use of your browser. You can open links in new tabs, you can bookmark all links - including those within the repository - and can reopen them at any time (provided you are authenticated). The only exception to this is individual views within a dashboard, the entire dashboard needs to remain together in order for views to update each other. However, the dashboard can be launched separately from the main menu and bookmarked directly, as described previously.

The rest of this chapter describes the individual pages of the web interface.
