Project Dashboard
The project dashboard displays information about what's currently happening in the project. It acts as a central hub, bringing together key information from various aspects of the project and presenting it in an easy-to-understand format. This way, you can quickly see the project's overall status, identify potential bottlenecks, and ensure everything is on track.

Accessing a Project's Dashboard
There are two ways to access a project's dashboard. One is from the All Projects page and the other is from the sidebar menu.
From All Projects Page
To access a project's dashboard from the All Projects page, simply find the specific project you want and click on its name. For example, below we are accessing the dashboard of a project called "Product Descriptions".
From the Project Dropdown
The project dropdown is in the sidebar menu. Clicking it reveals a selection of all active projects you have or you're assigned to. From there, find and click the name of the project you want to access and you'll be able to go to its dashboard using the sidebar menu.
Project Dashboard
Depending on your permissions, some widgets here will not be visible to you.
Here's what each widget is about:
- Recent Project Activity - displays the most recent events in a project. By default, a user can only see the events related to the items they are assigned to, while admins and account owners can see everything.
- Project Execution Status - displays an overview of all content item's workflow statuses in this project. You can click on the links to view all content items that are currently under that specific workflow status. For example, clicking on "Editorial review" will bring you to the Content page, automatically filtered to display only items that are currently under that status. Only users with the View all content items permission will be able to see this widget.
- Project Team - displays the names of all users currently assigned to the project.
- Click the manage team link to assign or remove users from the project.
- Clicking on a user's name to send them a message.
- Settings - clicking this button brings you to the project's settings page where you can adjust certain project-specific configurations such as name, email notification settings, and others.
- Summary - a quick statistics of the project's content items, briefs, users, and storage usage.
