'''Note''' The link to the default Interface has been moved to the '''''Utilities''''' menu and a new drop-down, called ''''Support'''' has been added to provide access to the Wiki, the Forum and my Wiki.
 
===Viewing Data===
The '''Dashboard''' menu item is always visible in both large and small screen, other menu items collapse until you expand the menu with the classic ''hamburger'' item.
<br><br>
The '''Weather data''' menu, as shown on ththe left, contains links for all other pages that simply allow you to view rather than edit data.
 
The exceptions are for the NOAA reports pages which can still be used to regenerate the currently displayed or all missing reports.
The ''Extra sensors''' menu provides access for any extra sensors that are attached or 'air linked' to your weather station.

===Editing Data===
 
[[File:Screenshot Settings MenuScreenshot 2025-10-26.png|600px|thumb|left|alt=The Settings Menu|The Settings Menu]]
As can be seen in the screenshot on the left, there are four top level menu items to the right of the ''diamond''.
 
These give access to either pagepages that enable you to configure setting for your CumulusMXCMX systemsetting or to editing your weather station data.
 
These are: '''Logs''', '''Settings''', '''Edit''', '''Utilities''' and '''UtilitiesSupport'''.
 
These mirror the same menu items as on the default Interface. One feature of the AI is that the '''''Settings''''' Menu is a drop down panel with columns. On the mobile menu it reduces to two columns. This makes it easier to access all items even on small screens.
<br><br><br><br><br>
====The Default Interface====
 
===== The Default Interface =====
Access is provided to this via the last top level menu at the extreme right of the menu (just visible in the screenshot). It will open the Interface in a new Window.
This is now accessed using the '''''Utilities''''' drop-down menu.

==Using the AI Settings Page==
*:The default is None (however, the seagull does still fade in at its default position).
*:You can choose:
*::'''Float''Grow down the screenupwards''''', or
*::'''Slide''Fade across the screenDownwards''''', or
*::'''''Expand diagonally'''''
*:If you chose an animation you can adjust the speed in seconds. Setting this to 0 effectively stops the animation.
*:Regardless of any animation, you can force the seagull to hide behind page content if preferred.
