The Orien login screen provides the entry point to the system. Once your Orien account has been created, and you sign in with your Microsoft Azure enabled account, you will be presented with the Orien application.
Azure Active Directory Login (Sign in with Microsoft)
The Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) enterprise identity service provides single sign-on and multi-factor authentication.
How to login:
- Go to https://au.orien.app/login. Click on the Sign in with Microsoft button. You may see the screen flash a couple of times. This is normal as Active Directory is attempting to log you in.
- Select your account (you may have to select Use Another Account to add your email).
- Enter your credentials. Login using your active directory details.
- You may see the page refresh as Active Directory logs you into Orien.
- If you see Hierarchy Not Available, your user account/profile has not been setup or given access to any databases. Please lodge a support request.
Important
We do not store your password or have access to this password. This is all handled by Microsoft.
Navigating Orien
The figure below illustrates the main view of Orien. At the top right-hand side of the page is the main banner. This banner enables the user to configure elements related to their user, project, and the application.
The window on the left contains your hierarchy tree. The hierarchy is used to define a business organisation and the assets being managed into a hierarchical structure.
The modes banner contains a variety of buttons, allowing for navigation between different modes available to the user. This banner will dynamically change the options available to the user based on the mode the user currently has selected, where the user is selected in the Hierarchy Tree and what permissions are assigned to the logged in user.
Note
The primary navigation mechanism is by using the tree hierarchy.
It is also important to become familiar with the standard User Interface (UI) components that you will encounter. Becoming familiar with these components is essential for the trouble-free use of Orien.

Cards
Orien uses the concept of cards. Cards are a design principle in which content is displayed using a consistent font, style, and enclosure. Throughout the application of Orien you will be able to directly interact with cards as they will contain the necessary buttons to create, read, update, and delete information displayed on those cards.
Each card has interactable controls embedded into each element and display information relating to that object. These interactable controls allow you to modify information, create new entries, search, and filter your results and more throughout the application.
You can toggle between Card View and Grid View by clicking the Display Options button and then clicking on the Grid View button.
