Getting started with the UI

Start your experience on the HCL Universal Orchestrator UI.

When logging into the UI, a welcome page containing quick start information is displayed with links to additional resources. The Welcome page displays the links to the main pages of the UI:
  • Graphical Designer
  • Dashboards
  • Orchestration Monitor
  • AI Agents
  • Human tasks
  • Self-Service Catalog

The Orchestration Monitor is the monitoring entry point for the UI. It lets you monitor Workstations, workflows, tasks, event sources, resources, and endpoints.

v2.1.6+ Within the Orchestration Monitor you can use the Workflow view to check graphical flowcharts for workflows and tasks enabling you to follow statuses and dependencies visually, while the autorefresh mechanism keeps the page updated in real time.

To get started with the page and learn how the autorefresh mechanism can be tuned by changing the autorefresh timeout, see Introducing the Orchestration Monitor.

Clicking on the User icon on the right side of the welcome page, you access a menu where you can choose from:
