In either version the platform has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing) WIMP] graphical user interface.

Both in the BioUML workbench and BioUML web edition the following areas can be found (see the figures):

A — the tabbed '''[[repository pane]]''', where you find a collection of '''Databases''', the uploaded '''Data''' files and the available '''Analyses''' methods (under the corresponding tabs), organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Here you can also see a list of '''Users''' involved with the current project.

B — the '''[[document pane]]''' (aka main pane or workspace), which is the part of the window where contents of projects and databases are viewed and handled. There can be as many tabs in the pane as there are diagrams, workflows, tables etc. opened in the workbench at the moment.

C — the '''[[information box]]''' containing tabs for the '''property inspector''', which displays information about the data file or analysis method selected in the navigation pane above,  and the '''text search engine'''.

D — the '''[[viewpart|viewparts area]]''', providing a number of options under the different tabs in a context-dependent manner.

E — the '''general control panel''', the topmost bar showing a context-dependent set of icons for the available operations.

F — the '''[[repository pane toolbar]]''' containing a set of icons for the available operations depending on the item selected in the tree structure of the navigation pane.
