Finding your way around

The sidebar, your dashboard, guided tours, and the shortcuts that make everything faster.

Everything in Jara Marketing hangs off the left sidebar. This article is the map: what each section is for, why you might not see everything on day one, and the shortcuts that make moving around fast.

The sidebar

At the top sit the surfaces you will touch daily:

  • Jamar — your AI copilot's chat workspace. Ask anything, from "draft a post about our new opening hours" to "how many open tasks do I have?"
  • Today — your dashboard: key numbers, quick actions, open tasks and what is coming up.
  • Calendar — everything that lives on a date: appointments, deadlines, scheduled content and events.
  • Inbox — your connected email, if you connect one.
  • Performance — your analytics: pipeline, revenue and marketing performance.

Below those, the tool groups follow your funnel in order:

GroupWhat lives there
MarketingBrand, Content, SEO, Websites, Forms, Campaigns — creating demand. See Marketing tools.
AudienceContacts, lists and reviews — the people your marketing reaches. See Audience tools.
SalesPipeline, Proposals, Contracts, Invoices — converting them. See Sales tools.
DeliverInitiatives, Tasks, Briefings — the work itself. See Deliver.
Your teamYour human and AI teammates, roles, your plan and billing. See Your team and roles.

Running an agency workspace? The same groups carry agency names — Studio, Clients, New Business, Agency — see For agencies.

Why you might not see everything yet

A brand-new workspace deliberately starts with a short sidebar — your Health Check, Brand, SEO and Content — so the first day is not forty menu items deep. Click More tools at the bottom of the sidebar to reveal everything at once, or just keep working: sections appear as your workspace starts using them. A tool being hidden never means it is gone — every page stays reachable from search (below).

Guided tours

On your first visit, a short welcome tour introduces the essentials. Many pages — the pipeline, contacts, campaigns, invoices and more — also have their own step-by-step walkthrough, so a page can explain itself the first time you open it.
