Main Menu

19. June 2026

Elaine Foley

Both user interface views share the main menu. The main menu is on the left side. The main menu without additional permissions always contains the following elements: 

  • Logo: The logo appears in the top-left corner. In the main menu's collapsed state, only the icon is shown. By default, the Fotoware Alto logo and icon are used, but the logo can be changed.
  • Content Items that give access to the Browser. 
  • Settings that only give access to the system information. Here you find the Fotoware Alto Content Platform Version, Customer ID, and Customer Alias, as this information is needed for support requests or integrations. 
  • Help with Link to the Manual, System Information again, Terms, Subscription Information, About Fotoware Alto, and third-party licenses. 
  • Language Switch changing the UI language used for e.g buttons and help messages. 
  • Notifications
  • Account page My Profile, where you can log out, request cancellation of your account, or change additional profile information, such as your Gravatar.

By clicking the Fotoware Alto icon, the menu expands to show the menu icon and name. The menu items available between Content Items and Settings depend on your user role Permissions.
