# The Basics

### Using the DCKAP Integrator App

The DCKAP Integrator web app is designed in a way to make user navigation self-reliant and easy to access. The design of the Dashboard and  Project modules follow a procedural approach, in order to cater to every element in the Data Integration Life-Cycle.
