Home Page Dashboard

The Home Page Dashboard gives you an overview of upcoming, waiting and overdue items as well as key account activities that you have permission to view or access. When you log in, you'll see this collaborative dashboard as your default. You can also customize your home dashboard to show personalized reports and information you need most. At any time you can switch your view to our default home dashboard. 

The status notifications on the default Home Page Dashboard are placed into one of four categories:

• Key Activities
• Overdue Items
• Waiting Items
• Upcoming Items

These categories are arranged into four columns, and each column contains:

• A summary area at the top providing counts of the types of items appearing below.
• A status notification for each item with a corresponding "Action" dropdown that allows you to view details of the item; go to the tool/area where the item exists in your Planning Pod account; and/or take an action on the item directly from the dashboard.

You can show/hide specific types of items by clicking on the "Filter View" button at the top of the page and using the checkboxes to select which items you want displayed on your Home Page Dashboard.
