how-to · Machines Open this in the console

Use BE Hub on a phone.

On a phone the console is the same product with a different shell. The list and the machine are never on screen together. Discuss, control and terminal move to a bar above the navigation.

The bottom bar is Today, Machines, Act, Desk and Setup. Machines is the fleet list. Groups start collapsed. A count on Act is approvals waiting.

The bottom bar is the menu

The bar has the same five groups as the menu on a computer. Today and Machines open their page. Act (approvals, alerts, patches, security, scripts, BE AI runs), Desk (tickets, reports) and Setup open a sheet of their pages. Setup also has your name, the light or dark theme, notes, help and sign out. Tap a page and the sheet closes onto it.
