Getting Started
This short guide provides a basic introduction to the UI.
If you have previously been using the Cluster Manager UI, check out the guide below to learn where you can access the equivalent functionality in the new UI.
Home
When you first login to Rancher you'll be taken to the new Home page. There are a number of information cards presented. You can close these using the icon. If you wish to bring back the hidden cards, open the page menu using the icon in the top-right and choose 'Restore hidden cards'.
You can change where you land when you login from the Home page and also from the Preferences page. To access User Preferences, click on the user avatar icon in the top right and choose 'Preferences' from the menu.
Top-level Menu
The new slide-in menu provides quick access to your clusters and apps. It is accessible by clicking on the icon in the top-left.
Migrating from Cluster Manager
As of version 2.6, Cluster Manager is no longer provided as a separate UI. The dashboard UI has been enhanced to provide the functionality from Cluster Manager. As a result, functionality you might be familiar with from Cluster Manager can be found in slightly different locations within the new UI - this guide helps you find what you're looking for.
Note that the legacy feature flag needs to be enabled for legacy functionality to be available. You can enable this from the slide-in menu → Global Settings → Feature Flags.
