The aim is to ensure a consistent and efficient user experience by maintaining uniformity in navigation and management features across Private and Team projects.

Private and Team projects navigation

In Private and Team projects you work with the same core menus listed below. In a Private project the content is visible only to you. In a Team project the entities (conversations, agents, pipelines, etc.) are shared and collaboratively manageable by the team members according to their permissions. The functional menus are:

• Chat menu: Access all your private and public conversations, allowing for seamless communication and collaboration.
• Agents menu: View and manage all the agents you have created, each designed to perform specific tasks using external tools.
• Pipelines menu: Access and manage all the pipelines you have created, design and automate workflows by connecting various nodes, such as conditions, decisions, loops, and tool integrations.
• Credentials menu: Manage authentication credentials for external services and integrations used by your agents and pipelines.
• Toolkits menu: Create and manage custom toolkits that can be used across different agents and pipelines to extend functionality.
• MCPs menu: Manage external MCP servers connected to your project via the Elitea MCP Client. Create MCP entries, monitor their Connected/Disconnected state, enable the tools you need, and use them across agents, pipelines, and conversations.
• Artifacts menu: Utilize the Artifacts feature to create Buckets in ELITEA for saving, updating (appending), reading, and deleting files. Artifacts serve as a temporary file storage solution, enhancing your project's data management capabilities.

Sorting Options (Detailed View Only)

• Name & Description: Alphabetically organize items by their names, providing an effortless method to find specific titles.
• Created: Sort items by their creation date to monitor the chronological development of content or pinpoint the newest additions.
