UX Update - New Navigation Experience
A universal navigation bar is now available in Early Access. We’re excited to share the changes and deeply appreciate your feedback on our latest designs.
We're excited to announce a fully overhauled approach to navigating the Veza platform, currently available in Early Access. Our new global navigation at Veza is intended to make it easier and faster to find what you're looking for while preparing the way for additional thoughtful product improvements in the future.
We understand this is a significant change for those of you who’ve worked with our platform for so long. We thank you and hope you enjoy the latest work from the Veza design team, which we hope will provide a more intuitive experience for new and old users alike.
What has changed?
Veza features are now available via a new top navigation bar for navigating between product areas, and a simplified left sidebar for accessing individual features.
Some old menu items are recategorized and placed in stricter product verticals. Important changes include:
The Integrations section for adding and managing data sources and providers is included on the top nav bar, and is no longer found under Configuration.
Entity Catalog, Tags, preconfigured Remediations, and user-generated Proposals are now part of Access Intelligence.
Administration pages such as Sign In Settings and User Management are now available under the System Settings section. Click the gear icon ⚙ to manage users, teams, and API keys, review Veza events, or configure SSO and tunable settings for your Veza platform.
Click the user icon 👤 on the rightmost side to open User Settings (previously your “Profile”). Here, you can update your password, enable authentication factors, or change your current team.
You can collapse the left navigation bar to create more room for the current dashboard, access review, or graph visualization.
Page URLs have not changed; bookmarks saved before activating the feature will continue to work.
Why are we making this change?
Navigating between all products and features using a single sidebar could become overwhelming, especially after several years of continual feature development. Now, Veza’s sidebar only contains features and views for the selected product area. While developing the UX, we found that this helped users focus on the most relevant tools for their use case while retaining the option to easily transition between Access Reviews, Lifecycle Management, and Access Visibility and Intelligence functionality.
This is the first step towards many additional improvements planned this year, including further enhancements to sidebars in Graph search interfaces. Your feedback is invaluable as we refine this integral part of the Veza platform experience. Please contact our team at support@veza.com to let us know what you think.
When will this change take place?
The new navigation UX is now active for select customers in early access. Please contact our support team to be part of the initial rollout. The new navigation will be enabled for all customers after we have gathered your feedback, with general availability planned for 2/15/2024.
