Consistent Home Navigation Across the Research Terminal

Research Terminal
April 23, 2026

By Acuity Trading

Traders and investors using the Research Terminal can now return to the main dashboard from any widget with a single click. This update introduces a standardised Home button across all primary tools — including Assets, News, Calendar, and AnalysisIQ — removing the need for users to retrace their steps when switching between detailed views and the homepage.

 

What's New
  • Home button added to all major Research Terminal widgets. A consistent Home icon appears in the header of each tool, giving users a direct route back to the Research Terminal homepage regardless of how deep into a workflow they have navigated.
  • Context-aware navigation labels. When a user enters a widget directly from the homepage, they see a "Back to Home" label for clarity. When accessing the same widget via the navigation bar, a standard Home icon is shown instead, matching the navigation path they took.
  • Calendar date display improvements. The date picker now displays dates in the user's local format, improving readability for international users. The picker itself has also been made more compact for a cleaner layout.
  • Mobile and RTL layout fixes. Navigation menus on mobile and plugin views have been adjusted to prevent overlap with other interface elements, including correct positioning for right-to-left language settings such as Arabic or Hebrew.

 

Why It Matters

Research Terminal users, particularly active traders running multiple analysis workflows, frequently move between asset details, trade ideas, news, and calendar events. Without a clear route back to the homepage, navigating between these areas creates unnecessary friction and interrupts the research flow.

A consistent Home button across all widgets ensures traders can orient themselves quickly, reducing time spent navigating and more time spent on analysis and decision-making. For firms deploying the terminal across diverse user bases (including international clients and mobile users) the RTL support and localised date formatting mean the experience is reliable and professional regardless of region or device.

For client-facing teams, predictable navigation also reduces support queries related to getting lost within the terminal's tool hierarchy.
