Navigation and dashboard
Dashboard
Section titled “Dashboard”The Dashboard (/dashboard) is your home after login. It provides:
- Quick links to create a survey, usability test, or in-product survey
- Recent activity for surveys and usability tests
- Summary stat cards (placeholders may show until wired to live metrics)
Use the dashboard when you want the fastest path to a new study.
Top navigation bar
Section titled “Top navigation bar”The top bar always shows FromUsers.com on the left. On study list pages you see three study-type links:
- Surveys
- Usability Tests
- In-Product Surveys
The active tab is underlined. On mobile, icons and shortened labels appear.
Right side of the top bar
Section titled “Right side of the top bar”| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Documentation (?) | Opens this docs site in a new tab |
| Profile | Settings and sign out |
Left sidebar
Section titled “Left sidebar”The sidebar can be collapsed (icon-only) or expanded (labels). Hover collapsed items to see tooltips; items with submenus show a flyout (e.g. Distribution).
Distribution in the app expands to:
- Email Templates
- Message Tracker
Participants (/participants) holds sample lists and participation history — see Participant samples in the docs under Distribution.
Study editor layout
Section titled “Study editor layout”When you edit a study (/surveys/{id}/edit, /usability-tests/{id}/edit, or /in-product-surveys/{id}/edit):
- The left sidebar and top study-type nav are hidden for a focused builder experience
- A study header appears in the top bar with tabs: Configure, Build, Logic & Variables, etc.
- Back returns to the study type list
Keyboard shortcuts

- Search and sort
- Status filter (Live, Draft, Paused, Closed — in-product uses Live/Inactive)
- Per-study actions: Edit, Preview, Distribute, Results, Translations, Copy, Delete
- In-product surveys also show Embed
Opening results
Section titled “Opening results”The Results & Insights Studio index (/results-insights) is a landing page. To analyze a study:
- Open the study list (Surveys, Usability Tests, or In-Product Surveys)
