Using the Web Console

This page describes how to use the Elements Web Console to configure and manage your Elements instance, as well as the different data types in Elements.

In the following docs, you will learn the basics of the web console used to configure and manage data in your Elements instance. We'll also take the opportunity to review the different data types in Elements as we go.

Logging into the Web Console

Elements is configured via the web admin console. If you're running a local instance, you can navigate to your admin console here:

http://localhost:8080/admin/login

If you're running Elements elsewhere, simply go to https://URLHERE/admin.

First Time Setup

When Elements is run for the first time, it creates a new User with SUPERUSER privileges with the username root and password example.

It is HIGHLY recommended to use this to create another more secure SUPERUSER account, then use that account to delete the root account.

Basics of Usage

The UI of the web console is easy and intuitive to use. As you dig into the sections of this manual that follow, you'll learn to use each basic editor and what each property does within Elements.
