It is specifically written for users with a role as an Agent, Provider, Port Authority, Pilot and/or Stakeholder. Depending on the rights of the user some content may not be available.
Modules
The following modules are available:
Website layout
After signing in, a user will be redirected to the back end, where the main menu and notification overview are shown.
Menu
The main menu (side panel on the left) divides the various PROTIDE functionalities into several modules, where each module has its own icon. A module can contain submodules that will be displayed in a separate side panel when the module is open. The module and submodule panels are both horizontally collapsible. Within the submodule panel, the child elements of a submodule can be vertically collapsed. If a user does not have access to certain functionality, it will not be shown in the menu structure.

Notification overview
The notification overview (side panel on the right) shows a centralized summary of relevant system updates and user-related information. It is limited to what the user has access to and is divided into the following categories: Last visit, Transits, Calculations, Data, Calendar, Tasks, and Analysis. This overview shows for example if there are any running calculations, which transits are planned in the next few days or have just arrived/departed and which tasks are open for the user. An indicator shows (if configured) if there are any issues with either transits or data sources.
