## Basic Console Layout

The console consists of three basic elements:

#### Application Shell

The shell contains the global application header and main navigation. These elements are always visible. The primary view content is displayed in the content area.

#### Global Header

As the name implies, the header is a static UI element available at all times. The header contains the ***Green Stack logo***, the current **module path**, **action buttons** for searching, commanding, and getting help, and the **user account menu**.
