.. note::

    The application is under constant further development.
    So, some parts of this documentation might already be outdated.

On all pages, users will encounter so called badges to other entities within the graph.
These badges are color-coded per type of entity (services, actors, norms, resources, ...).

Clicking on those badges will navigate to the respective page of that entity.

The sidebar is the main navigation tool of the web app.
It is located on the left side of the screen and contains the following sections:

* Services

Each of these, provide a full list of known entities of the respective type along with a basic search functionality.

Further, each entity has a details page to retrieve further information about it.
