# Dashboard

> Your home screen, summary tiles, and navigation launch points.

The dashboard is your home screen after sign-in. It shows a role-scoped snapshot of what needs attention across broadcasts, scheduling, HR, and approvals.

## What you see on the dashboard

The home screen shows four summary squares at the top:

1. **Unread broadcasts** (or **This week** if your role hides unread counts): how much is waiting in your feed, or how many shifts and events are coming up.
2. **Pending approvals**: a single count for everything that needs your sign-off, including broadcast drafts, new member access, leave and rota requests, hiring reviews, and HR compliance items such as right-to-work checks, ID document expiry, and open fit-note cases.
3. **Tasks pending**: open tasks assigned to you in the Tasks workspace, including shared multi-assignee tasks.
4. **Custom tile**: a metric you choose yourself. Use the customise control on the tile to track department headcount, hiring requests, the next 1:1 meeting, active onboardings, and more.

Below the squares you still get **recent broadcasts**, the **upcoming calendar**, and the **account setup checklist** when onboarding is incomplete.

What you can approve or customise still depends on your role and permissions:

## Navigation from the dashboard

Use the sidebar to move into product areas such as Broadcasts, Rota, Calendar, HR, Finance, and Admin. The sidebar is filtered by your role: if you cannot see a section, your role does not include access to it.

The top bar gives you quick access to:

* **Notifications bell** for unread alerts across leave, hiring, onboarding, and other domains.
* **Command palette** (keyboard shortcut) to jump to pages, approvals, and notification lists.
* **Profile menu** for settings, quiet hours, and sign-out.

## Page guidance

Many pages include a small info control that explains what the page is for and where related settings live. Use it when you are unsure whether you are in the right place.

## Tips

* Pin or complete your profile early so HR and payroll records stay accurate.
* If you expect to see a tile or menu item that is missing, check [roles and permissions](/docs/roles-and-permissions) or ask your Super Admin to review your role assignment.
