User Interface

Installation

Blazam is a compatible PWA (Progressive Web Application). For easy access you can opt to "install" the webapp to your local device (desktop/laptop/mobile).

Dashboard Widgets

The home page allows you to set up and organize an assortment of dashboard widgets.

You must be provided relevant read permissions somewhere in the directory to be able to add each widget.

The full set of widgets are:

  • New Users
  • New Groups
  • New Computers
  • New OU's
  • New Printers
  • Changed AD Entries
  • Changed Passwords
  • Locked Out Users
  • Favorites
  • Application Logons (Super-admins only)

The main menu is shown on the left side of the screen, mobile users can use the 3 horizontal bar "hamburger" button in the top left to open the main menu.

The available options depend on the permissions applied to your account.

Possible options include

  • Home
  • Browse
  • Create
    • User
    • Group
    • OU
  • Recycle Bin (Admin only)
  • Configure (Admin only)
    • Settings

Search Type

By default Blazam searches all Active Directory object types. To narrow your search, use the type filter to specify the object type you are looking for.

Enabled Only

When green the search will only return enabled accounts (Users and computers), otherwise disabled accounts will be included in search results.

The search box in the center of the AppBar is the key tool for navigating Blazam. Auto-complete searches are performed, respecting the type filter, against all accessible AD objects.

Searches are currently performed against the first name, last name, display name, and username, emails are excluded.

Notifications

Notifications can be found by clicking the bell icon in the top right next to your User Button.

Unread notifications will cause a red dot with the unread count next to the icon to alert you.

Clicking the icon with the notifications panel open will close it.

User Button

The user button provides access to change your email address, the color theme of Blazam, as well as upload an avatar icon to use for personalization.

There is also a button that will take you directly to Blazam's documentation.

The last option in the menu is, of course, sign out.
