Entrancelevel

Entrancelevel is a term used to describe the initial access point or starting tier in a system, structure, or process. The exact meaning varies by context; it is not a fixed technical term with a single definition. In general, it conveys the notion of being at or near the threshold needed to progress further.

In architecture and building design, the entrance level refers to the floor that contains the main entry for a building. This level is typically at or near ground level and often includes the lobby, reception, or foyer. It provides primary access to other levels through stairs, ramps, elevators, or escalators, and it is commonly used in wayfinding and architectural plans to orient visitors.

In software, video games, and digital products, the entrance level can denote the starting screen or the initial set of tasks a user completes to begin using the product or to unlock more features. It is associated with onboarding, tutorials, and the setup flow, guiding new users from an initial state to operational use.

In marketing, product documentation, and education, the phrase can indicate the lowest tier of service, access, or knowledge required to begin a process. While some fields prefer explicit terms like entry level, foundation, or beginner, entrancelevel may appear in informal, project-specific, or multinational contexts to emphasize the starting point.

Related terms include entry level, ground level, lobby, and threshold. The precise interpretation of entrancelevel depends on the domain and the accompanying documentation or conventions.
