Join our CEO Ben Haynes for a rapid 5 minutes demo of the Directus platform.
Speaker 0: We're starting off right here on the login screen. Here we're already logged in, so we're just gonna hit continue. But I think the first thing to notice, is that the entire platform is white label. Everything here is themeable from the border radii to the colors to this, subtle animation on the right. But this is your login screen.
Same thing for all these public pages. Of course, you'd have 2 factor authentication, SSO, anything else you might need here, for your your project. Let's go ahead and log in. Right. Again as a reminder, the way that Directus works is you point it at a database.
I like to start on this screen, because this is just a table in your database called metrics. Nothing more straightforward than that. Instead of seeing, you know, UNIX time stamps and, you know, just really complex data, we're seeing it in an intuitive way. This is a table layout. Many different ways you can look at your data.
But here we're seeing conditional styling with icons, nice relative time stamps, and nice colors. The full power of SQL is available here. We can of course do full text search, advanced filtering with logical grouping, everything you could do in SQL but in an in an intuitive no code way. Table views are pretty obvious. You can also come in and look at things through a media view.
You could use a Kanban view if you had, something where you're actually dragging things through some sort of process, and then keeping your your data organized like this. Of course, if you have geospatial data in your database, we support that as well. So whether it's submarine cables or devices on a map, all of this is available. You can quickly zoom in, drill into an item, click, and then go in and start editing that that data. We also have, contacts or any other type of data, but I think where we'll drill into the actual form is on this blog.
So if we click on one of these items, in this case, multi orchestration cultivate infrastructure, lots of different interfaces for how we edit the data. You have time, daytime choosers. You have media selectors. You have this really great translation interface where you can actually go into a split view and manage multilingual content, etcetera. Every change that you make goes through our accountability system.
So you can come over here and see all the revisions. These are the changes that were made by whom and when. You can actually roll back and undo those features. Really, really important for data governance. We also have a full commenting system with mentions, emoji, and everything you'd expect.
And you can actually share things. You can create a unique URL and share that out to people outside of this, this platform. So really powerful there as well. Moving on to a few of the other modules that we have. We have a user directory, which I'll pop into my user very quickly, just to showcase something that I think is pretty, pretty powerful.
We can actually change the language to any of the 55 languages that we support and choose different themes, really tailoring it to the experience that I I need as a user. So as I come in, not only are we managing multilingual content, but the actual application can be translated as well. So that's a really important feature. I'm gonna change that back, to English. That is the language that I understand, and we'll continue on.
Really, really powerful access control here within the user directory and no limits in terms of how many roles or or users you have. Once you come into our asset management system, you can actually we scrape all of the, metadata. So I p t c, EXIF, all available, virtual folders, and you can, of course, come in here and do all of your edits and cropping. If you do that through the API, you actually have hundreds of different operations available. Insights, great for business intelligence, great for building out these different dashboards using aggregation, time series, anything that you can imagine.
Very customizable. You just come in here, drag and drop these to whatever size you want. Lots of options available for, how are you setting your precision, your ranges, etcetera, the colors. So put that into a full screen mode, throw it on a, a second display, and you've got a really great dashboard available instantly. Once we go into settings, this is where the ad administrators are working.
You can of course build your data model here, or you can build it through the API, or just define it right in SQL and allow it to cascade out through everything. Then you can go through and start setting your access control, as we talked about. You know, you have managers. Based on the tables of your database, who can access what based on CRUD? Create, read, update, and delete.
It's worth noting. It's not just on and off. We have very granular rule based access control, within these different filters. Lots of other things to talk about including the theming and all these different options, all different extensions of our system. The last thing I'd like to quickly show is our flows.
This is automation. This is where you can come in and say, I wanna deploy an application when x happens. Those triggers can be a cron job every 15 minutes or Monday at midnight. You can also have it when content changes. Send out emails, to our different content authors for review.
Lots of different operations you can choose from. And again, as with everything else in the system, it's all extensible and customizable.
