Working in the status bar

OpenKM 7.1 comes with two user interfaces, called "classic" and "kcenter". Although both are functionally very similar, the layout and the way they are used may have significant differences. This page is based on the "classic" user interface. If you are using the "kcenter" user interface and have any doubts about accessing any of these features, please create a ticket in the support website.

The Status panel at the bottom provides general information.  The status panel is organized into:

  • OpenKM news alert.
  • The connected user.
  • User repository size.
  • Chat.
  • Alerts.
  • HTML documents being edited.
  • Message panel.
