+Node Explorer
+=============
+
+The node explorer provide views to the node's vault and transaction data using Corda's RPC framework.
+The user can execute cash transaction commands to issue and move cash to other party on the network or exit cash using the user interface.
+
+Running the UI
+--------------
+**Windows**::
+
+    gradlew.bat tools:explorer:run
+
+**Other**::
+
+    ./gradlew tools:explorer:run
+    
+
+Running Demo Nodes
+------------------
+**Windows**::
+
+    gradlew.bat tools:explorer:runDemoNodes
+
+**Other**::
+
+    ./gradlew tools:explorer:runDemoNodes
+
+.. note:: 3 Corda nodes will be created on the following port on localhost by default.
+
+   * Notary -> 20002
+   * Alice -> 20004
+   * Bob -> 20006
+
+Interface
+---------
+Login
+  User can login to any Corda node using the explorer, alternately, `gradlew explorer:runDemoNodes` can be used to start up demo nodes for testing.  
+  Corda node address, username and password are required for login, the address is defaulted to localhost:0 if leave blank.
+  Username and password can be configured in node's configuration file; for demo nodes, it is defaulted to ``user1`` and ``test``.
+.. note:: If you are connecting to the demo nodes, only Alice and Bob (20004, 20006) are accessible using user1 credential, you won't be able to connect to the notary.

+     
+Home
+  Home view shows the top level state of node and vault; currently, it shows your cash balance and the numbers of transaction executed.
+  The dashboard is intended to house widgets from different CordApp's and provide useful information to system admin at a glance. 
+
+.. image:: resources/explorer/dashboard.png
+  
+Cash
+  The cash view shows all currencies you currently own in a tree table format, it is grouped by issuer -> currency.
+  Individual cash transactions can be viewed by clicking on the table row. The user can also use the search field to narrow down the scope.
+
+.. image:: resources/explorer/vault.png
+
+Transactions
+  The transaction view contains all transactions handled by the node in a table view. It shows basic information on the table e.g. Transaction ID, 
+  command type, USD equivalence value etc. User can expand the row by double clicking to view the inputs, 
+  outputs and the signatures details for that transaction.  
+  
+.. image:: resources/explorer/transactionView.png
+
+New Transaction
+  This is where you can create new transaction; currently only the cash contract is supported. 
+  The user can choose from three transaction types (issue, move and exit) and any party visible on the network. 
+  The result of the transaction will be visible in the transaction screen when executed.
