SIDEBAR

Sidebar is an essential part of Dojah’s User Dashboard, facilitating easy navigation of services.

In pursuit of a better user experience, we have opted to revamp the sidebar by consolidating some services into internal navigation rather than dropdown menus, reorganizing services, etc.

In the new sidebar, we still maintained the use of sub-titles of services, and drop-down of services under products. There were some re-categorization of some products in this sidebar.

Quick Action: In this new Sidebar, you can check your wallet balance and top-up from the quick action page.

Dashboard: This feature used to exist in the current sidebar. In the newly improved sidebar, it does not exist.

Developers: In the previous sidebar layout, developers were positioned as the third item users see on their users’ dashboards, featuring a dropdown menu containing services like Configuration, API Tokens, API Logs, Webhooks, and Documentation. In the updated sidebar, developers have been moved towards the bottom of the sidebar and it is still presented as a dropdown menu that includes services such as Configuration, API Tokens, Webhooks, and Documentation.

Identity Verification: In the previous sidebar, the subtitle “No-code tools” housed Easy Lookup, AML Screening, Easy Onboard, and Document Analysis. In the new sidebar, we have changed the subtitle from “No-code tools” to “Identity Verification.”

Old sidebar with “No-code tools”

New sidebar with “Identity Verification”

In the new sidebar, Easy Lookup has been renamed to “Government Lookup” and is no longer displayed as a dropdown menu but as an internal screen navigation for accessing Individual Lookup and Business Lookup.

AML Screening: It used to be under “No-code tools” but it is now under “Fraud Monitoring”. Also, it used to a drop down that houses User screening and Business screening but it is now an internal navigation in the new sidebar.

Reconciliation and Custom List remains in the same position and listed under fraud monitoring with no new changes

Easy Detect is a new product to replace “Fraud detection” as its comes in a drop-down that accommodates services such as Overview, Flow, Pending cases. No changes were made to these services.

Report Analytics: The name remains the same as a subtitle and it houses Messaging Logs but in the new sidebar, we added API reports and Easy detect report
