# Using the Cryptosheets UniConsole

## Overview

The Cryptosheets UniConsole or 'unified console' is a unified query builder for all of our custom function formulas. It is the most powerful way for users to access, build & test custom functions (aka formulas) and has several powerful features designed to optimize user workflows and facilitate user familiarity with the platform.

## Navigating UniConsole
A unique feature available only for the UniConsole is the ability to resize the sub-panels in any configuration or size you want. This is a critically important feature for users with limited screen space and Google Sheets users. *It's also probably the first thing you should do when using the UniConsole!*

## Examples

Make sure to check and [use our built in premade scenarios](https://medium.com/cryptosheets/introducing-cryptosheets-scenarios-6a69d9e19886) for each function that can be found right below the green make request button in every console.

## Tips & Tricks

- click the (i) information icon to expand the side menu flyout which contains tons of helpful tutorials, examples & support resources
- use the STATUS function to quickly build a refreshable formula that will show you your exact quota used & quota remaining 
- try using the [global parameters](https://docs.cryptosheets.com/functions/common) to filter, shape and transform the response to get only the data you want in the format you want
- try using a nested custom function as the data input source for technical indicators!
- try using the QUERY and QUERYA UniConsole options to go straight to any provider to build queries from their API endpoints!
- [Find more examples on our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnqaT58Co7M&list=PLBg8GR5ao-axtqVwlz89Pm1Kqu6v2Lcd7) 
- try the toggle button option for QUERY vs QUERYA
- try using the global parameters like "_limit" to easily increase or decrease the number of results returned
- save your queries as scenarios ([corporate/enterprise users only](https://cryptosheets.com/pricing)) 
- [try using UniConsole in a web browser simultaneously to give your self more room so you can arrange the panels side by side for full view](https://app.cryptosheets.com/#/uni) 


## Troubleshooting

- [check your syntax and toggle formulas for international users](https://intercom.help/cryptosheets/en/articles/4789237-formula-syntax-for-international-users)
- check you have Excel vs Google Sheets selected in the console query builder formula bar
- hard refresh if it's hanging (using F5 key on your keyboard when you're inside the side panel)
- [use premade scenarios for functions](https://intercom.help/cryptosheets/en/articles/4571225-how-to-use-cryptosheets-scenarios) to test and validate your errors against known to work examples 
- use the console to build example formulas to easily share with Cryptosheets support team


## Additional Resources
