Navigation and Documents Overview
This guide covers the main navigation structure in Klarify and how to find your way around the application.
Main Navigation Areas
Klarify’s navigation is organized into three main sections in the left sidebar:
Personal Section
Your personal workspace contains:
- User Profile: View your role permissions (Collaborator, Owner, or Performer views)
- Drafts: Work-in-progress documents you’re creating or editing
- Starred: Documents you’ve marked as favorites for quick access
- Archive: Previously published documents you’ve archived
- Advanced Search: Powerful search functionality (when enabled)
Organization Section
Your organization’s shared workspace includes:
- Folders: Document collections visible to every active member; access to individual documents inside can be restricted
- Documents: All published processes and task instructions
- People: Directory of employees, positions, and team structures
Shortcuts
User-defined folder shortcuts for quick access to frequently used areas.
Documents Page - Your Main Landing Area
After logging in, you’ll land on the Documents page - the central hub of Klarify. This page shows:
Process Models
Business process diagrams created using BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation). These visual workflows show:
- Step-by-step procedures
- Decision points and branching
- Responsible parties
- Timing and dependencies
Task Instructions
Detailed documentation for specific tasks, including:
- Step-by-step instructions

Navigation Tips
Finding Documents
- Use the search bar at the top for quick document discovery
- Browse by folder structure in the Organization section
- Check your Starred items for frequently accessed documents
- Look in Drafts for work-in-progress items
Understanding Views
Your view of documents depends on your role:
- Collaborator View: Can view and comment on documents
- Owner View: Full editing and management permissions
- Performer View: Focused on tasks assigned to you
Folder Organization
- Documents are organized in a hierarchical folder structure
- Folders themselves are visible to all active members; access is enforced per document
- Use folder shortcuts for quick navigation to important areas
Filter and customize document lists
The list pages across Klarify — Documents, Drafts, Archive, Advanced Search, Starred, People (Employees and Positions), and your personal Owner, Performer, Editor, and Shared with me tabs — share the same filtering and column controls above each table.
Filter with pills
Each list shows its available filters as pills above the table. There is no menu to open first — every filter is always visible.
- Click a pill to set its value. A pill with no value shows a + icon; once set, it shows the value (for example,
Type: Process model) and a clear (x) icon that resets just that filter. - On pages with several filters, Clear filters resets all of them at once.
Filter types include:
- Text filters (such as Name) — choose a condition — Contains, Does not contain, Equals (Is), Does not equal (Is not), Starts with, or Ends with — enter your text, and click Apply.
- Multi-select filters (such as Type, Folder, or Access) — pick one or more values.
- Date-range filters (such as Date published or Date modified) — pick a start and end date on a two-month calendar.
Show and hide columns
Click Edit columns above a table to choose which columns appear. Check or uncheck a column to show or hide it; essential columns such as Name are always shown and cannot be hidden. Your column choices are remembered per list, so each page keeps the layout you set.
