# The Interface

## Sidebar

You use the sidebar to access *BuildingPro Suites* menus.

## Title Bar

The title bar gives you access to various functions. You can use the title bar to, for example, switch between tenants.

## Workspace

The workspace takes up the largest part of the interface. This is where you make all settings and control BuildingPro Suites.

## Context Bar

The context bar is located above the workspace. The context bar is dynamic. This means its content changes depending on what is displayed in the workspace.

The context bar shows the name of the current workspace, as well as the [↗ Breadcrumbs](/collection/preface/user-interface-elements.md#breadcrumbs). You can quickly navigate to the parent menu items using the breadcrumbs.

In some cases, the context bar can contain additional tabs. The tabs are used to select further submenus.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/preface/the-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
