What users see

The test machine has no instructions yet. Populated installations show their available instructions and favorites in these sections.

• A top bar that typically includes:
• search field
• filter action (often an icon/button)
• user menu and language selector
• Browser sections:
• Machines: cards with optional machine image and instruction count
• Categories: cards with icon/color and instruction count
• Favorite guidances: saved favorites, or an empty-state hint when none have been added

Best practices

• Use categories consistently so instructions stay easy to find.
• Favorite the instructions your shift uses repeatedly.
• Prefer machine-specific instructions when the same category exists for multiple machines.

Troubleshooting

• Favorite guidance is missing -> Not signed in or no favorites set -> Sign in and bookmark the required entries -> Ask an admin if sign-in is required in your deployment
• Machines or categories are missing -> Not configured or missing permissions -> Ask an admin to confirm configuration and access -> Escalate with the machine/category name you expect to see
