# Console Overview

After you have installed MotiveWave™ and configured your workspace, the first window that you will see when opening that workspace will be the **Console**. The console provides access to all the features in MotiveWave™ and it is initially configured with a default layout.

The console is organized into different ***pages*** (see screenshot above). The availability of the Trade Report, Scan and Optimize pages depends on the editions.&#x20;

&#x20;To access a different page, simply click on the page tab at the bottom of the console window. The default set of pages are as follows:

* **Home** – The home page contains a sample layout that has a single chart area and two spots at the bottom for watch lists.
* **Charts** – Sample layout of 6 charts.
* **Floating** – Sample floating stations provide an alternative to split layouts.
* **Account** – Layout containing information about your account, orders, positions and historical trades.
* **Trade Report** – Functionality to generate a report that can be filtered by account, instrument, and date
* **Options** – Sample layout containing Option Chains. Note: this page is only available on brokers that support options trading.
* **Scan** – Layout for using the scanning functionality within MotiveWave™.
* **Optimize** – Contains a strategy optimizer panel for Back Testing, Optimization and Walk Forward testing of automated strategies.
