Understanding the dashboard ​

On logging into VOW, the first page you see is the Dashboard. To start with, the Dashboard consists of a single panel that provides a summary of the current data in the system.

Panel content ​

The contents of the panels are described in the Reference manual Dashboard page.

Task summary panel ​

The task summary panel is one of the most useful panels on the dashboard. It shows every outstanding task assigned to you, grouped into four urgency buckets: Overdue, Due today or tomorrow, Later, and No due date.

The three counters at the top of the panel give you an overview of how many tasks need your attention and when. Clicking a counter expands the corresponding bucket so you can see which jobs are involved.

Clicking any task row takes you directly to that job and highlights the relevant task.

For full details on what the panel shows and how to configure it, see the Task summary reference page.

Working with panels ​

Dashboard panels can be:

  • Moved using the Drag panelDrag panel button
  • Resized using the ResizeResize handle (in the bottom-right corner of each panel).
  • Customised using the CustomiseCustomise button.

You can show and hide panels by ticking and unticking items in the Panels menu at the top of the page.

Introducing panel layouts ​

The panels can be moved, resized and organised into different layouts.
