Navigate GLPI modules

The various functions of GLPI have been grouped into several modules, built around similar contexts of use. The top bar of the interface allows you to navigate between these modules:

ASSETS

Provides access to the various inventoried materials,

ASSISTANCE

Allows you to create and monitor tickets, problems and changes; as well as see statistics.

MANAGEMENT

Allows you to manage contacts, suppliers, budgets, contracts and documents.

TOOLS

Allows you to manage projects, notes, the knowledge base, reservations, RSS feeds and view reports.

ADMINISTRATION

Allows you to administer users, groups, entities, profiles, rules and dictionaries. It also allows the management of the email queue.

SETUP

Provides access to the general configuration options of GLPI: notifications, collectors, automatic tasks, authentication, plugins, external links, SLA, management of titles, components as well as control of the uniqueness of fields.

There are keyboard shortcuts that allow you to navigate from one module / submodule to another. Here is the list of these shortcuts:

• 1 => Home

• Assets

  • o => Computers

  • s => Software

• Assistance

  • t => Tickets

  • a => Statistics

  • p => Planning

• Management

  • d => Documents

• Tools

  • b => Knowledge base

  • r => Reservations

  • e => Reports

• Administration

  • u => Users

  • g => Groups

• Setup

  • n => Dropdowns

In addition, since version 9.2, GLPI offers navigation with approximate search (fuzzy) accessible from the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + G. This will open a modal window allowing you to filter, via a search field, all the menus of GLPI (all the levels are present, you have for example access to the 3rd level such as the dropdowns or the components).

In this window, additional shortcuts are available:

• ↑ and ↓ in order to navigate through the results

• Enter to change the active glpi page on the selected result

• Esc to close the window.
