The dashboard

The dashboard is where you land when you sign in — the Dashboard item in the navigation panel (route /). Headed Overview, it answers two questions at a glance: what needs your attention, and what is happening across your Sites. Everything on it reflects the Sites and Projects you can access.

Scope filter​

Two pickers at the top — Sites and Projects — narrow the whole page to the work you care about. Leave them empty to see everything you have access to.

Needs you​

An action queue of items waiting on you, each row a link straight to the work:

  • Draft imports awaiting commit — imports you started but have not committed.
  • Imports that failed — your imports that did not commit successfully.
  • Comments needing resolution — every open action item you can see: any Comment marked as requiring resolution that nobody has resolved yet. The row shows how many are Critical and High so you can gauge urgency at a glance, and opens the list sorted by priority (Critical first). Items stay here until someone resolves them, rather than dropping off after a set time.
  • Comments that mention you — where someone @mentioned you.
  • Replies to your comments — answers to comments you wrote.

When nothing is waiting, the card reads "You're all caught up — nothing needs your attention right now."

At a glance​

Four counts for your current scope: Sites, Projects, Samples, and Lab Reports.

Your sites​

A map of your Sites, each marker colored by recent activity — needing attention, active, or idle. Select a marker for the Site's status and a link to its detail page, or follow Map analysis → to open the full Map tool. The interactive map appears only when an ArcGIS API key is configured (see System settings); without a key, this card becomes a compact list of your Sites by status.

Recent activity​

A merged feed of the latest changes and comments across your scope, newest first. Select an entry to open the related record; for a record that has since been deleted, it opens that record's activity timeline — where the history, including the deletion, is still available — rather than a not-found page. View all → opens the Activity Hub.

Who sees the dashboard​

The dashboard is available to all four roles — Administrator, Data Manager, Manager, and Staff.

note

This everyone-internal dashboard is distinct from the Administrator-only admin dashboard, which reports installation health, licensing, and security rather than your day-to-day work.

  • Interface tour — the rest of the navigation and header controls.
  • Activity Hub — the full audit log, comments, and notifications behind the activity feed.
  • Map — the analysis map the Your sites card links to.
