# Navigating the User Interface

Note: The DDB User Interface is dynamic and frequent changes will occur as we improve user experience and roll out new features. Additionally, different environments will have different features avaliable at different times. Therefore, this guide may not be completely up to date but should be a useful starting point.

The DDB User Interface is split into four trays:

  1. Asset Navigation
  2. Asset Details
  3. Parameter list
  4. Parameter details
