Introduction to DIAL Admin Panel

About​

The DIAL Admin Panel provides system administrators a feature-rich, intuitive, and customizable UI to configure, manage, and monitor the DIAL ecosystem.

Admin Panel serves as a powerful UI for administrators. System configurations can be done also by a direct modification of a DIAL Core config.

GitHub Repositories​

Admin Panel is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

It is developed in two separate repositories for frontend and backend components:

Who is Admin​

System admin(s) can be defined in DIAL Core static settings in the access.admin.rules. Admin has the following privileges:

  • Has READ and WRITE access to all public system resources (conversations, prompt, files, toolsets and applications).
  • Can view, approve and reject publication requests from DIAL users.
  • Has access to all DIAL Core API endpoints.

Refer to Access Control to learn more about access control in DIAL and the role of a system administrator.

  • Builders: In this section, you can add and configure application runners, model adapters and interceptors. Go to Builders to learn more.
  • Assets: In this section, you can view, add, and manage public system resources such as applications, prompts and files. Go to Assets to learn more.

The Home screen gives you a high-level overview of your environment and fast access to the most important actions and modules.

  • Sidebar is the main menu available at any page with access to every major DIAL Admin section.
  • View our documentation button opens the official DIAL docs in a new tab. It's handy when you need an in-depth reference or look for details.
  • Open DIAL button opens https://chat.dialx.ai/ in a new tab, where you can try your apps , prompts, and models live.
  • Site map is a visual grid of cards you can use to navigate to a corresponding DIAL Admin section.

Import Config​

Use the Import Config button to upload a DIAL Core configuration file. Can be used for migrating between environments or restoring backups.

  1. File type: Either DIAL Core (.json) or Admin (.zip) format can be selected.

  2. Conflict resolution: You can choose between two conflict resolution options:

    • Override: During the import process, any artifact in the archive that matches an existing artifact in DIAL by the identifier will override the existing artifact.
    • Skip: Any artifact in the archive that matches an existing artifact in DIAL by the identifier will be ignored, and the existing artifact will remain unchanged.

  3. Click Next to preview the configuration to be imported:

  4. Click Compare changes in the artefact row to view the differences between the artefact already in DIAL and the one being imported:

  5. Click Import to start the import process.

Export Config​

Export Config allows you to download the configuration of the current instance as a file. Great for backups, audit snapshots, or sharing with teammates.

  1. One of the following export formats can be selected:

    • DIAL Admin Archive — .zip archive with the configuration stored as a single .json file. Includes secrets if the Include secrets option is selected.
    • DIAL Core JSON File — a single .json file compatible with DIAL Core. Includes secrets if the Include secrets option is selected.
    • Active Config — .zip archive with configuration files and secrets stored separately. Secrets are always included.

  2. Config can be exported partially (user-selected artefacts) or in full.

    • For a partial export, select the specific artefacts to include.

  3. Dependencies can be included or ignored for Models, Applications, Roles, and Keys.

    • Include dependencies adds all referenced items required by the selected artefacts.
    • Ignore dependencies exports only the items you explicitly select.

  4. Click Export to open up the Export File Preview screen, where you can:

    • Preview your selections and any included dependencies.
    • Review the artefacts and confirm the export.
