# Dataplane Interface
Overview
The Dataplane Interface provides a web-based application used to operate and manage the AI Fabrix Dataplane service. It allows users to configure integrations with external systems, manage integration templates, monitor system activity, and review operational records.
The interface is organized into several primary sections that expose the operational capabilities of the Dataplane environment.
Dashboard
Description
The Dashboard provides an overview of the Dataplane environment and operational activity.
It presents system metrics, environment status information, and summaries of ongoing system activity.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- View overall environment information
- Monitor system health indicators
- Review synchronization activity
- Observe system metrics
- Access quick operational actions related to system configuration or integration activity
Typical Workflows
Typical uses of the dashboard include:
- Checking the operational status of the Dataplane
- Reviewing recent system activity
- Monitoring synchronization operations
- Navigating to specific systems or operational areas for further investigation
Governance Considerations
Information displayed in the dashboard may include operational data related to synchronization processes, system activity, and integration operations.
External Systems
Description
The External Systems section manages connections between the Dataplane and external platforms or data sources.
This area provides visibility into configured systems and allows users to review or manage their associated data sources.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- View the list of configured external systems
- Access details for a specific system
- Review associated data sources connected to each system
- Manage integration connections to external platforms
Typical Workflows
Typical workflows include:
- Adding new external systems
- Reviewing configured integrations
- Accessing system-specific configuration details
- Managing connected data sources
Governance Considerations
External systems represent integration points with external platforms. Configuration of these systems may involve credentials, connection parameters, or access configurations that affect how data is accessed and synchronized.
Integration Templates
Description
Integration Templates provide reusable configurations used to define integration behavior.
Templates allow users to define standardized integration structures that can be applied across multiple systems.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- View available integration templates
- Access template configuration details
- Manage template definitions used by integrations
Typical Workflows
Typical workflows include:
- Reviewing available integration templates
- Navigating to template configuration pages
- Managing templates used in integration workflows
Governance Considerations
Templates influence how integrations operate. Modifications to templates may affect integration behavior across systems that use those templates.
Audit Logs
Description
The Audit Logs section provides access to operational records and system activity logs.
These logs capture events related to system operations and synchronization processes.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- View system events
- Access synchronization logs
- Review operational activity records
Typical Workflows
Typical workflows include:
- Investigating system errors
- Reviewing synchronization events
- Examining operational activity within the Dataplane environment
Governance Considerations
Audit logs provide traceability of system activity and may be used for operational review, diagnostics, and compliance monitoring.
Document Approval
Description
The Document Approval section manages workflows that require document review and approval.
This interface provides visibility into documents awaiting approval and allows users to process them.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- View documents pending approval
- Review document information
- Process document approval actions
Typical Workflows
Typical workflows include:
- Reviewing submitted documents
- Approving or rejecting documents
- Managing document processing workflows
Governance Considerations
Document approval workflows may support governance or data processing controls within the Dataplane environment.
Administration
Description
The Administration section provides access to configuration controls for the Dataplane environment.
This area is used to manage system-level settings and administrative configuration.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- Access administrative configuration settings
- Manage operational parameters
- Configure system-level settings
Typical Workflows
Typical workflows include:
- Managing system configuration
- Updating operational settings
- Performing administrative maintenance tasks
Governance Considerations
Administrative settings affect system-wide behavior and operational parameters within the Dataplane environment.
AI Assist
Description
AI Assist provides an interface intended to support users working with the Dataplane environment.
This feature provides assistance related to operational troubleshooting and system usage.
What Users Can Do
Users can:
- Access AI-based assistance
- Request guidance related to Dataplane operations
Typical Workflows
Typical workflows include:
- Requesting help while configuring integrations
- Obtaining assistance when troubleshooting system issues
- Accessing contextual guidance during Dataplane operations
Interface Navigation
The Dataplane Interface organizes functionality into the following primary sections:
- Dashboard
- External Systems
- Integration Templates
- Audit Logs
- Document Approval
- Administration
- AI Assist
Each section provides access to specific operational capabilities required to manage and monitor the Dataplane environment.
