Business Automation Navigator

IBM Business Automation Navigator is a browser-based interface where you can work with the business applications you need to complete your tasks. Depending on the configuration of your IBM Business Automation Navigator home page, you can access business applications, dashboards, content features, custom plug-ins, and third-party applications.

Navigator desktop

An administrator sets up your Navigator desktop with the applications that you need to complete your work. Your desktop might have a different name that reflects the work you do with it. You access Navigator by clicking a URL for a desktop.

If you do not see an application that you need, ask your administrator for the login link to your Navigator desktop.

Depending on how your desktop is configured, you can use applications for the following tasks:

If you are an administrator, see Administering Business Automation Navigator for more information.

Tip: The Navigator mode controls which desktops are visible. For example, Platform mode shows only platform desktops. To see all available desktops, change the mode to Platform and Content.

You can find the Navigator Mode setting by going to Admin > Settings, and clicking the General tab.
