How to use the Arkham interface

Three quick actions to orient yourself before exploring individual panels.

1. Open the dashboardLoad the home page and let the panels finish rendering — loading skeletons are replaced by content when each module is ready.
2. Review the summary stripThe counters along the top summarise recent activity across the sections you follow.
3. Open one entityClick any name in the main list to open its entity page; press Esc to step back.

The workspace keeps three persistent regions so your context stays stable while you explore.

The search field is the fastest way to move around the app.

1. Focus the fieldUse the shortcut Ctrl/⌘ + K to focus it from anywhere.
2. Type a name or identifierSuggestions appear instantly, grouped by category: entities, lists and pages.
3. Navigate with the keyboardUse the arrow keys to move through suggestions and Enter to open the highlighted result.
4. Reuse recent queriesRecent searches are shown when the field is empty — clear them from the small x beside each entry.

Every entity has a dedicated page built from the same four blocks.

The graph view turns relationships into nodes and links you can rearrange freely.

1. Open the graphChoose the graph view from the entity header or the side rail.
2. Pan and zoomDrag empty space to pan; scroll or pinch to zoom. Use the reset button to recentre.
3. Expand nodesClick a node to reveal its direct connections; use the depth control to choose how far to expand.
4. Save the layoutRearrange nodes, then save the arrangement so it opens the same way next time.

Tables follow one consistent pattern everywhere in the app.

Narrow a long list down to exactly what you need in four steps.

1. Open the filter drawerUse the funnel icon next to the table title to reveal all available conditions.
2. Combine conditionsSeparate conditions combine with AND; multiple picks inside one condition combine with OR.
3. Save a presetStore the current combination with a name so one click restores it later.
4. Choose visible columnsUse the column picker to add, remove and reorder fields for the current table only.

Group the entities you return to often into named lists.

1. Create a listChoose “New list” in the side rail and give it a descriptive name.
2. Add entitiesUse the star button on a row, then select the destination list.
3. Reorder and renameDrag entries to reorder; rename or duplicate a list from its menu.
