The *Kinetica Workbench* provides a rich user interface for accessing data.

*Workbench* consists of two panes:

* *left pane* - contains [Workbench Explorer](/content/admin/workbench/ui/explorer)
* *right pane* - contains content associated primarily with top-level menu items

The top-level menu items are as follows:

* [Home](/content/admin/workbench/ui/home)

* [Explore](/content/admin/workbench/ui/explore)

* [Import](/content/admin/workbench/ui/import)

* [Jobs](/content/admin/workbench/ui/jobs)

* **Manage**

  * **Workbench** - opens a dialog to change various settings
    within *Workbench*

* **Running** - the current status of the system

* <img src="https://mintcdn.com/kinetica/sjJMVofFVyzBN4Br/content/admin/workbench/images/wb.icon_help.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=sjJMVofFVyzBN4Br&q=85&s=1dcdfc344fed7f4c6ca639e149cae7a3" alt="wb_icon_help" style={{display: "inline", margin: 0, verticalAlign: "middle"}} width="24" height="24" data-path="content/admin/workbench/images/wb.icon_help.png" /> - displays the database version number as well as links to
  various help sources

* *\<Profile>* (displays username)

  * **Usage** - displays database resource usage metrics

  * **Preferences** - allows switching between light & dark mode
    themes

  * **Logout** - ends the current session with *Workbench*

The left & right panes act independently from each other, allowing for the
exploration of data across domains (tables, workbooks, files, etc.) from any
part of the application (*Home*, *Import*, etc.).
