Navigation, shell, and theme

How the desktop rail, mobile bottom nav, command palette, organization switcher, and light/dark theme preferences work.

Desktop command center

#

On viewports about 1024px and wider, FieldKeel uses a collapsible navigation rail plus a top bar. The rail is for primary modules (jobs, schedule, clients, teams, approvals, reports, settings, and related areas depending on role). The top bar surfaces organization context, search/command entry, notifications, quick create, and account/theme controls.

Use Ctrl+K (or the command affordance) to jump to jobs, people, and other entities without hunting through menus. Keyboard focus rings and Radix dialogs keep dense desktop workflows accessible.

Mobile field shell

#

On phones, the shell is phone-first: large targets, full-screen sheets, sticky primary actions, and safe-area insets. The bottom navigation is Home | Jobs | Schedule | Time | More. Home is technician-oriented My Day, not a miniature of the desktop dashboard.

Camera-first photo capture and touch signatures are part of job execution on mobile. Primary actions stay clear of the bottom nav and home indicator.

Organization switcher and theme

#

If you belong to more than one organization, the organization switcher changes the active workspace. Selection is not authorization — every tenant request still verifies an ACTIVE membership server-side before loading data.

Theme preference (light, dark, or system) is a UI chrome setting stored under a FieldKeel theme key. Prefer light for operations work by default; dark is available via tokens. Do not store business records (jobs, clients, timesheets) in browser storage — only chrome flags such as rail collapsed and theme.
