Exploring the User Interface

Civic Platform provides a common interface for users across an agency with the agility to personalize the interface somewhat to meet individual needs. Civic Platform may differ visually from the descriptions in this manual due to your agency configuration, permissions and functionality defined by a user's job duties, personalization, or the specific user interface version for your agency. In spite of all the potential differences, the user interfaces have some elements and features that are common to all.
