# System group (sidebar)

## What it is

The **System** group is a collapsible row in the Omniscio projects sidebar that nests app-level settings, search, and management into one place. It ships **collapsed by default** — click its chevron to expand.

> The display name is **System**. For byte-stability the group keeps its original persisted id `insights-group` (sentinel `__insights_group__`, collapse setting `insightsGroupCollapsed`) — a display-only rename, the same pattern as the KMS/Nothari rename. It briefly also kept the legacy "Insights" A-Z sort slot, which left a row labelled "System" sitting between Inbox Pilot and Jira; that pin was removed on 2026-08-25, so it now sorts under its own name — between Supermail and Tags, which makes it the LAST of the sidebar parent groups.

## Where to find it

In the projects sidebar, among the other parent groups. It ships **collapsed**, so look for the row labelled **System** with a chevron at its left; on a default install it sorts near the bottom of the group list, after Supermail and before Tags.

## How it behaves

### What's inside

- **Session Search** — search across all your sessions.
- **Settings** — the full settings surface.
- **Tags** — manage session tags.
- **Alerts** — the agent alerts inbox surface.
- **Marketplace** — browse and install plugins.
- **Marketplace Review** — the plugin review queue.
- **Briefings** — your daily digest and weekly review in one place.
- **Onboarding Hub** — home for the agents from your guided first-run tour.
- **Stats** — cost, tokens, time, and per-project usage trends.
- **Shares** — every shared link and published artifact.

### How to use it

- Click the **chevron** on the left of the row to expand/collapse. The choice persists across launches.
- Click the **group row itself** (not the chevron) to open a small roll-up panel that lists the members; each one is a shortcut to open it directly.
- To move a member out of the group for solo sidebar use, **drag it** to a new position or right-click and choose **Remove from Category**. Right-click the solo item and choose **Return to [group name]** to put it back.

## For agents

`insights-group` entry in [integration-registry.ts](../../src/shared/integration-registry.ts) (displayName `System`); most of its children carry `parentGroupId: 'insights-group'`. **Daily Digest** and **Onboarding Hub** cannot — Daily Digest is a `channel-adapter` (forbidden a `virtualProjectPath`, since its row is lazy-created behind `dailyDigestEnabled`) and Onboarding Hub has no manifest — so they declare membership in the render-time `SIDEBAR_ROW_PARENT_GROUP` map in [sidebar-render-items.ts](../../src/renderer/src/features/dashboard/sidebar-render-items.ts) instead (2026-08-31). Render nesting is driven by `SIDEBAR_PARENT_GROUPS` + `consolidateChildrenUnderParent` in [ProjectsSidebar.tsx](../../src/renderer/src/features/dashboard/ProjectsSidebar.tsx) — render-only, no DB re-parent. Collapse state: `insightsGroupCollapsed` (default `true`). A one-time migration renames the existing seeded row from "Insights" to "System"; a second (`20260825034035`) moves that row out of the legacy "Insights" slot into its real A-Z position on installs that already exist.

The surfaces inside the group each have their own page — [Stats](stats.md), [Shares](shares-view.md) and [Alerts](inbox-alerts.md) among them. The sessions list the sidebar is built around is on the [Projects sidebar](projects-sidebar.md) page.
