The Fusion UI gives you easy access to all Fusion features.
The UI service utilizes the API service, so each UI feature has an API equivalent. For programmatic access to the features you see in the UI, see the [API Reference Guide](/docs/5/fusion/dev-portal/rest-apis).
The course for **Navigating the Fusion UI** focuses on navigating through the Fusion application.
## Logging in
The Proxy service runs on port 6764 by default. Access the Fusion UI through the Proxy service. To log in, point your browser to this port on the Fusion host, for example, `http://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/`.
When you are the *first user* to log in:
Fusion prompts you to set the password for the "admin" account and agree to the license terms. All other accounts must be created by an admin.
The first time you log in:
Fusion opens the **Quickstart**, to give you a demonstration of Fusion’s most basic features. You can click **Exit the Quickstart** to close it and go to the Fusion launcher.
The Quickstart is a wizard that lets you explore some of Fusion’s core capabilities:
* Creating or selecting an app
* Selecting a collection (where data is stored)
* Indexing data
* Searching
The course for **Using The Quickstart Wizard** focuses on using the wizard to practice using the key functions of Fusion.
## Step through the Quickstart wizard
If it is not already open, open the Quickstart wizard. In the Fusion launcher, click **New here? Get started...**.
1. Click **Continue**.
On the **Select an App** screen, you can select or create an [app](/docs/4/fusion-server/concepts/overview) for your quickstart data.
If you click **Create new app**, Fusion prompts you to enter an app name (and optionally a description), then click **Create App** to return to the Quickstart. Your new app is selected by default.
2. After selecting an app, click **Continue**.
On the **Select a Collection** screen, you can select or create a [collection](/docs/4/fusion-server/concepts/overview) for your quickstart data. A collection with the same name as your app is created automatically:
3. Click **Continue**.\
On the **Index Data** screen, you can either select one of the built-in sample datasets or click **Use my data** to upload your own:
4. Click **Continue**.\
On the **Query Data** screen, you can see all search results and enter your own search queries to test the indexed dataset. You can also select the display fields or view the parsed documents:
5. Click **Continue**.
From here, you can do the following:
* Open the Index Workbench to change the index pipeline.
* [Fusion 4.x Index Workbench](/docs/4/fusion-server/concepts/indexing/datasources/index-workbench)
* [Fusion 5.x Index Workbench](/docs/5/fusion/intro/ui-tour/index-workbench)
* Open the Query Workbench to change the query pipeline.
* [Fusion 4.x Query Workbench](/docs/4/fusion-server/concepts/querying/query-workbench)
* [Fusion 5.x Query Workbench](/docs/5/fusion/getting-data-out/query-basics/query-workbench)
The workbenches are essentials tools in the Fusion workflow.
* Open [App Studio](/docs/4/app-studio/overview) to create a user interface for searching this collection.
App Studio is only available in Fusion 4.1 and 4.2.
You can open the Quickstart at any time by navigating to the Fusion launcher and clicking **New here? Get started…**.
The brief tour below shows you how to find your way around the interface. For a more detailed tour, try the **Getting Started with Fusion Server** tutorial.
This tutorial takes you from installation to application-ready search data in four easy parts, using a [MovieLens](https://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/) dataset.
* Part 1: Run Fusion and Create an App
{/* // tag::get-started-1[] */}
Download, install Fusion, and run Fusion, then create a Movie Search app.
{/* // end::get-started-1[] */}
* Part 2: Get Data In
{/* // tag::get-started-2[] */}
Use the Index Workbench to configure an index pipeline, preview the results, and get data into the Movie Search app in a format that is useful for search.
{/* // end::get-started-2[] */}
* Part 3: Get Data Out
{/* // tag::get-started-3[] */}
Use Query Workbench to get data out of the Movie Search app, explore the role of query pipeline stages, configure faceting, and preview search results.
{/* // end::get-started-3[] */}
* Part 4: Improve Relevancy
{/* // tag::get-started-4[] */}
Use signals and boosting to make search results more relevant.
{/* // end::get-started-4[] */}
## A brief tour
* The *launcher* is where you can view all apps in your Fusion environment and create new ones.
* The *Fusion workspace* is where you configure how an app ingests, indexes, queries, and analyzes data.
### The Fusion launcher
When you log in to Fusion, the first page is the Fusion launcher. This is where you create and launch apps:
To return to the Fusion workspace, hover over , and then click **Return to launcher**.
See details about **Create an App**.
To create an app in App Studio:
1. Navigate to the launcher and click **Create new app**.
2. Enter an app name.
Optionally, you can also enter a description and select the app tile color.
If you want to choose the name of the first collection in the app, then deselect **Create new app default collection**. When you do this and click **Create app** (in the next step), Fusion Server prompts you to enter a name for the first collection. Otherwise, Fusion Server creates a default collection whose name is the same as the app name.
3. Click **Create App**.
The Fusion workspace appears, and you are ready to work with your app’s first collection.
### The Fusion workspace
You can reach the Fusion workspace by clicking on any app in the launcher. When you enter the Fusion workspace, you find all the tools you need to configure the selected app:
* On the left side are the [app tool menus](#app-tool-menus), where you can find tools for working with your app.
* [System-wide tools](#system-wide) are at the top of the UI. With the exception of the **Collections** tool, which allows you to switch between collections for your app, these tools do not concern your app specifically.
#### App tool menus
On the left side of the screen are six menus where you can find tools for working with your app:
1. **Indexing** (getting data in)\
The [Index Workbench](/docs/5/fusion/intro/ui-tour/index-workbench) is the primary tool for getting data into your app through the Fusion UI. It provides an all-in-one view of the components of a datasource. You can also access those components individually through this menu.
2. **Querying** (getting data out)\
For getting data out, the [Query Workbench](/docs/5/fusion/intro/ui-tour/query-workbench) is the main tool. It shows you a live preview of search results while you configure and fine tune your query pipelines.\
See also [Getting Data Out](/docs/5/fusion/getting-data-out/query-basics/overview).
3. **Collections**\
Manage your data collections and configure their features.\
See also [Collection Management](/docs/5/fusion/getting-data-in/indexing/collections/overview).
4. **Relevance**\
Add or edit rules, recommendations, and signals.
5. **Analytics Hub**\
View App Insights, run Experiments, or view your Dashboard.
6. **System**\
Manage your system, including access control and logs.
#### System-wide
On the right are menus for system-wide actions:
1. **Apps**\
Switch between apps or return to the app launcher.
2. **Collections**\
View and navigate to other collections.
3. **Microservices**\
View the status of all Fusion microservices.
4. **Search**\
Click the search icon and enter a query to find areas of the Fusion UI, objects, and related documentation. Clicking an object opens the [Object Explorer](/docs/5/fusion/intro/ui-tour/object-explorer).
5. **Help**\
Access the documentation.
6. **Alerts**\
New alerts are briefly displayed in the foreground. Open this menu to see past alerts, or to clear the alert history.
7. **Account Settings**\
Edit your profile, log out, or manage your Fusion license.
