Documentation Portal
Documentation that lives in a distant repository, an outdated PDF or a parallel wiki is documentation nobody reads. And documentation behind a login screen is documentation half the people who need it never open — whoever is evaluating the platform, whoever went looking for an answer before requesting access, whoever got the link from a colleague. That is why the DATTA manual is a site of its own, open, served at /documentacao/. You are reading this page in it right now.
How to access it
- Directly, without login: at
/documentacao/(the addresses/documentacaoand/documentacao.htmllead to the same place). All product, usage and functional administration documentation is open: it asks for no user, no password, and does not depend on the platform being up in order to be read. - From the platform: the item in the side menu, which opens the site in a new tab. Every page has its own URL — you can bookmark it and send the link of any passage to a colleague.
- Restricted section: Plataforma & Operações — internal architecture, runbooks, infrastructure, installer and consoles — is not on the site. Its address leads into the platform, which asks for login and only delivers the content to people with the
PLATFORM_VIEWpermission or an administrator profile. Entering the section already requires login, not just opening a page inside it. - All the site shows about restricted content is the count. A section that has restricted pages displays a single entry — "13 restricted pages" — with a padlock and the way into the platform. The title of an operations page is information too: names like Cluster Console describe the very topology the page protects, so the site does not publish them.
Two languages, zero friction
The portal is bilingual (Brazilian Portuguese and English):
- Automatic detection: on the first visit, the language follows your browser — English for browsers in English, Portuguese for the rest.
- Manual switch: PT | EN buttons at the top. The choice is saved in your browser and applies to future visits.
- Friendly fallback: a page not yet translated into English shows the Portuguese version with a notice at the top — you never land on an empty page.
What the portal offers
- Search (
Ctrl/Cmd + K): searches titles, descriptions and headings, in both languages, with results grouped by section and keyboard navigation. - On this page: a side outline with the open page's headings, to jump straight to the section you need (on wide screens).
- Previous / Next: sequential navigation between pages, crossing sections — you can read the documentation like a book.
- Section cards: the home page and each section show cards with the title and description of the pages.
- Internal links: links between documents become site navigation; a link to a restricted document becomes text with a notice, never an error and never a dead link.
- Theme and mobile: the site uses the same visual identity as the platform, follows its light/dark theme and is responsive — the sidebar becomes a sliding menu on small screens.
- Still readable with JavaScript off: every page is an HTML document served ready. With JavaScript disabled you lose search and the theme button; the text, the navigation and the links keep working.
Practical example — finding the answer in 30 seconds
- From any portal page, press
Ctrl/Cmd + K. - Type
triagem. Results appear as you type, grouped by section — user guides, administration, and so on. - Use the arrow keys to select Triagem em Lote and press Enter.
- In the Nesta página panel, click the heading of your specific question — you land directly on the section, without scrolling the whole document.
- Want to send it to a colleague abroad? Click EN and share the URL — it opens in the English version.
Where the content comes from
The portal is generated together with the platform, from the product's own documentation base. Three practical consequences for readers:
- What you see matches the installed version. There is no manual synchronization between the documentation and the system — updating the platform updates the site.
- Every page exists in Portuguese and English. Portuguese is the source; when a translation does not exist yet, the page is served in Portuguese and flagged as such, rather than appearing empty.
- The page is written at generation time, not assembled in your browser. That is what lets it open fast, be indexable and not depend on a session.
The documentation ships in two partitions. The public one — usage, administration and API guides — is the open site. The Plataforma & Operações one gathers runbooks, infrastructure, installer and internal architecture, which describe network addresses, commands and topology: it never enters the site, and inside the platform it is delivered only to people with the PLATFORM_VIEW permission, through an authenticated path. The split is checked on every generation — in both directions, including confirming that no restricted page became a file of the site — and covered by an automated test.
