Areas and themes

Each department gets its own application

IT works in a compact service console, HR in a clearly organised application of its own, and your customers in a portal that reflects your brand. Everything runs on one platform, and everyone sees only what concerns them.

  • Theme and logo per role
  • Own navigation and start page
  • Data separated down to the record
  • Own AI assistants per area

Per area

What you can set for each area

Brand Theme and logo Colours for light and dark set separately, own logo, own row density in lists.
Menus Navigation and start Top and side navigation and a start page of its own, suited to the task at hand.
Data Strictly separated Read, create, edit and delete, set as a rule down to the individual record.
AI Own assistants You decide which assistants an area uses and which data they know.

Areas

Each department gets its own application

You divide nexxcite into areas, such as IT, HR, procurement or a portal for your customers. Each area has its own roles, navigation, design and logo, and sees only its own data. To users they are separate applications; for your IT it remains one platform.

Choose an area

Invisible to this role: HR files, purchase orders, customer data

Invisible to this role: IT tickets, purchase orders, customer data

Invisible to this role: IT tickets, HR data, customer portal

Invisible to this role: Everything internal and every other customer

Its own look

Colours, logo and light or dark display per role. The customer portal appears in your brand, IT service in its own design.

Its own navigation and home page

Every role gets its menus and its entry point. Nobody clicks through features that don't concern them.

Strictly separated data

Reading, creating, editing and deleting are controlled down to the individual record. One area cannot see another area's data.

Its own assistants

Each area gets the AI assistants and tools that suit it. They only work with that area's data.

Why areas

Many departments on one platform

When every department needs something different, another tool is often introduced. The follow-on costs for licences, operation and interfaces become apparent later.

One tool per department

Every solution on its own

Each department has its own system, with its own sign-in, its own permission model and its own data.

  • Licences, contracts and updates per tool
  • Permission checks different in every system
  • Data in separate systems, interfaces in between
  • Every new need leads to another tool
Areas on nexxcite

Separate applications on one platform

Every area works like an application of its own, but uses the same data model and the same permission check as all the others.

  • One platform, one operation, one update
  • One central permission check for every area
  • Shared master data where you want it, and separation where you need it
  • A new need becomes a new area, not a new project

What's included

What an area comes with

A complete look

A theme sets the colours of the entire application frame: navigation, surfaces, buttons and status indicators. You design light and dark mode separately, and the logo too. Anything the theme does not set stays at the default, so a theme that only sets the brand colour consists of a single entry.

  • Light and dark colours
  • Light and dark logo
  • List row density
  • Custom colour values

Top and side navigation

Menus per role, with exactly the entries that role needs.

Own start page

The service desk lands in its ticket list, management in the dashboard.

Own search sources

Global search only covers the areas that concern each role.

Own assistants

Optional AI assistants are assigned to areas, each with defined data access.

Fine-tuning with CSS

For details of your corporate design, you can store custom styles per role.

In practice

How a new area is set up

In the editor, you set up a new area in a manageable amount of time. If you wish, the AI creates it from your description as a draft for you to review.

  1. 01

    Create a role

    The role is the area: it bundles what its members see, may do and how it looks to them.

  2. 02

    Govern access

    You set which data this role may read, change, delete and create, phrased as a rule such as “only cases of our own company”.

  3. 03

    Design

    Theme, logo, navigation and start page. A customer portal in your brand, an internal console in your house colour.

  4. 04

    Assign assistants

    You set which AI assistants and search sources this area uses. No others are available to it.

  5. 05

    Approve

    Like every configuration change: review in a draft, publish together and undo if needed.

Combining roles

Many people work in more than one area

The procurement team lead is also a member of the project portal. The IT colleague looks after the vehicle fleet on the side. Areas have to reflect that without anyone needing two logins.

In nexxcite, roles can include other roles, across several levels. Permissions add up, and so do search sources and assistants. For the look, priority decides: the most important role sets theme, navigation and start page. The colours of two roles are never mixed.

  • Roles include other roles, across several levels
  • Permissions, search sources and assistants add up
  • Priority decides theme, logo, navigation and start page
  • A theme always applies in full, colours are never mixed
  • One sign-in for all of a person's areas

Typical set-ups

How customers divide their platform

By department

IT, HR, procurement, quality and facilities as separate applications, with shared master data such as employees, sites and cost centres.

  • Shared master data
  • Separate cases
  • Own interfaces

By subsidiary

Several subsidiaries in one installation, each with its own logo and strictly its own data, and the holding with the overall view.

  • Own brand per company
  • Consolidated reporting
  • One platform to run

Internal and external

Internal processing and the portal for customers or suppliers work on the same data. External users only ever see their own cases.

  • Portal in your brand
  • No duplicate data
  • Status without asking

Separate applications for users, one platform for IT

One operation, one update and one central permission check, while every area still gets the application it needs.

Questions

Common questions about areas

Can an area see that others exist?

No. Other areas' records appear neither in lists nor in search, and their data objects do not appear in the navigation. Through the API the system reports “not found” rather than “forbidden”.

Can areas still share data?

Yes, deliberately. Master data such as employees, sites or cost centres is shared by all areas; cases stay separate. Access rules define what is shared.

Does every area cost a licence?

No. You license the platform and the number of users signed in at the same time, regardless of how many applications or areas you have. Further areas need no further licence.

Can each area have its own administrators?

Yes. Permissions apply to the configuration itself as well, so separate administration per area is possible.

Does this work for external users too?

Yes. A customer portal is an area like any other: its own role, its own theme in your brand, its own navigation and access to its own cases only.
