Boston User Interface

By default, the user interface for applications you create in Five is set to Boston. A Boston user interface will have the menu on the left of your screen, as shown below.

You can change the user interface to New York. The New York interface will have the menu across the top of the screen, as shown below.

Change the User Interface

When you set the user interface at the application-level, this will be the default for all instances of your application, unless you set the user interface at the instance-level. The user interface setting at the instance-level will take precedence over the application-level.

tip

If you are using the default instance that Five automatically creates when you save an application and you want to have the New York interface, you will need to edit the instance record as well!

For all instance records that you have previously saved before changing the user interface, you will need to change on the instance record!

1. Select the application record in the list.

2. Either click the Edit button in the form app bar, or click directly in the Default User Interface field.
