My3DEXPERIENCE Environment

This topic provides you with general information on the structure of My3DEXPERIENCE. This structure revolves around the Compass:

The first time you click the Compass, a pane opens to show you available Roles and Applications. Its 4 quadrants and Play button offer different capabilities, which are described below.

For more information about the Compass, see About the Compass.

My3DEXPERIENCE also displays the top bar, which provides immediate access to key information and services. For more information, see Dashboard Top Bar.
