Home Dashboard

The Home Dashboard is your go-to screen for staying informed, focused, and efficient on mobile — providing an at-a-glance view of everything that matters across your projects. It allows creating a personalized overview of your projects, work packages, and activities, helping you stay informed and productive on the go.

The dashboard is designed to give you quick access to the information you care about most, without needing to navigate deep into individual projects or work packages.

Purpose

The Home Dashboard is your central hub for project management on mobile. Its main purposes include:

Quickly reviewing your priorities: See which work packages, deadlines, or updates need your attention.
Monitoring project activity: Stay up to date on work package changes, comments, and progress across all your projects.
Accessing relevant widgets: Customize what you see based on your workflow and focus areas.
Saving time: Avoid switching between multiple screens — everything important is consolidated in one view.

The Home Dashboard consists of modular widgets that provide snapshots of your most relevant data. Depending on your role and project access, some widgets may vary.
