How The Product Fits Together

Watch folders
  -> Ingestion
  -> File processors
  -> Identity and scoring

The user-facing Dashboard is organized around current workflows:

  • Home for discovery and overview.
  • Read, Watch, and Listen for media lanes and shelves.
  • Collections for automatic broader rollups, administrator-curated collections, a cross-lane shelf index, and canonical people.
  • Search for cross-library discovery.
  • View for profile-owned Personal Spaces and the server-owned Shared Library, with Photos, Folders, Galleries, People, and Places.
  • Detail pages for viewing items and launching inline corrections.
