BlueCat Gateway consists of a series of workflows that implement its features and functionality. Workflows in the Administration and Configurations categories in the left navigation menu of Gateway (which are referred to in this guide as Administrative workflows) implement core Gateway functionality. Adaptive apps or custom workflows can be added to Gateway for additional features.
Workflows don't necessarily have a UI, there are several common features in those that do.
Using tiles and the navigator to access workflows
When viewing Gateway on a browser, go to the following URL to display the Workflows page.
<Gateway URL>/index
Home button also displays the Workflows page. You can
change where the Home button goes in the Group
settings.The Workflows page displays all available workflows (features) as tiles. Tiles are displayed in alphabetical order. You can click a tile to jump to that page right away. Gateway shows only tiles available to the currently-logged in user (and only workflows that have an associated user interface).
You can also access workflows with a navigator of links on the left side of the screen. Within the navigator, workflows are organized in a tree structure. The navigator can be hidden or revealed as needed:
If the navigator isn't visible, click the
Navigator button in the top left corner.To hide the navigator again, click the
Close
Navigator button.
Drag-and-drop uploads
Sometimes a workflow requires you to upload a file to Gateway. In most cases, you can do so directly in the Gateway UI. Simply drag the file from a folder outside of the browser onto the indicated box. Or, click within the box and browse to the file's location.
If an uploaded file already exists, Gateway lists it under the box.
Depending on the feature, you might be able to click the 
download button to download it.
Configuring item lists
In many places in Gateway, you'll be asked to configure a list of items, such as a list of URLs.
You can manipulate these lists as follows:
-
If the order of items is important, an item's place in that order appears in its top left corner.
To change the order, drag an item by its "grip" handle (
) to its new
spot. -
To delete an item from a list completely, click the X in the corner of the item.

Logging in and out of Gateway
You must log in to Gateway to use it. When you log in, you'll have access to only
those workflows and features that are assigned to the user group to which you're a
member. To view the currently-logged in user and their user groups, click the 
Account
button.
After a period of inactivity, you will be asked to log in again if you try to use or
access a workflow. Until this happens, Gateway will continue to
display the last page you viewed. To explicitly log out and return to the login
screen, click the Account button and select Logout.
