# Your dashboard

The home screen — your own task counts, a briefing Nia writes from your work, today's meetings, the priority queue, the month, your sprint, team load and recent activity.

![Your dashboard](https://projectri.com/docs-shots/workspace-home.png)

## What it is

The dashboard is what Projectri opens on. It answers one question — what is on
you today — with your own numbers, a short written briefing, your meetings, the
four things most worth doing next, and what your colleagues have just changed.

Almost everything on it is personal. The tiles at the top count work assigned to
*you*, not the workspace, and the briefing under them is written from your rows
rather than the company's.

## How to get there

**Dashboard** is the first row in the main navigation, and the workspace's own
address (`/<workspace>/<you>`) lands here. The row and the data behind it need
the `dashboard.view` permission; without it the row is absent and
`/api/dashboard` returns nothing. There is no plan gate.

Anything on the page that names a specific piece of work — the priority queue,
the sprint checklist — is narrowed to projects you are a member of. Holding
`project.view_all` widens that to the whole workspace.

## How to use it

### Read the briefing

1. The card under the tiles is written server-side from your tasks, reviews,
   calendar and inbox.
2. The label on its right says where the sentence came from: **Written by Nia**
   when the model wrote it, **From your workspace** when it was assembled from
   the same facts without one.
3. The rows beneath the sentence are real records. Clicking one opens that task,
   the calendar, the inbox or the demand forecast, depending on what it is
   about.
4. The pills at the bottom are counts: **My tasks**, **In progress**, **My
   review**, **Overdue** and **Closed today**.
5. The circular arrow rewrites it. A briefing is otherwise kept for about ten
   minutes before it is written again; the facts under it are re-read on every
   load either way.

### Work the priority queue

1. **Priority Queue** lists up to four items, each overdue or due soon, numbered
   in the order to take them.
2. Clicking one opens the task panel over My Tasks.
3. **All tasks** goes to [My Tasks](/docs/workspace/my-tasks) for the rest.

### Tick off sprint work

1. The **Sprint** panel shows the ring for the active cycle and a checklist
   under it.
2. Ticking an item marks that task done straight away. Un-ticking returns it to
   the stage it was in before, not to To-do.

### Read today's schedule

1. **Today's Schedule** lists your meetings with their time, length, type and
   attendees. A meeting in progress is marked **Live**.
2. A block from a calendar you connected — Nia Calendar, Google or Outlook — is
   drawn with a dashed border and does not open: there is nothing of ours behind
   it. Hovering names the calendar and the account it came from.
3. Tomorrow's first two appear under a dashed rule beneath.

### Read the month

1. The mini calendar draws the current month, Monday first.
2. A solid dot marks a day with a meeting on it. A hollow ring marks a day
   something of yours is due. Both can appear on the same day.
3. The arrow opens the full [Calendar](/docs/workspace/calendar).

## What it affects

- **Ticking a sprint item writes to the task.** It is the same change as moving
  the task to Completed from anywhere else — the board, the panel and every
  count that reads status move with it.
- **The tiles and the briefing pills can disagree with a colleague's.** They are
  both scoped to the reader. Two people on the same project see different
  numbers on purpose.
- **Overdue counts from the start of today, not from this instant.** Due dates
  are stored at local midnight, so a task due today is due, not late.
- **Due soon means the next three days.**
- **The activity rail is live.** It re-reads itself when someone — or an agent,
  or Nia acting for someone — changes a task or leaves a comment, so it moves
  while you are looking at it. An agent's row carries its full name and mark; a
  person's shows their first name. A row Nia wrote names the person who asked
  underneath.

## On mobile

The Home tab in the phone app is the same page in reading order: the same four
tiles as a strip, the briefing, today's schedule with tomorrow's preview, the
suggestions, the priority queue, the month, the sprint, team load and the
activity timeline. The **+** opens a shortcut sheet — a task, a reminder, or
asking Nia for one in words.

## Limits and gotchas

- The priority queue holds four rows and the activity rail five. Neither is a
  complete list; both are a window onto a longer one.
- The briefing's numbers come from their own queries, not from the rows on
  screen, so a count can legitimately be larger than the list under it.
- If the briefing cannot be assembled the card says so and the rest of the
  dashboard still loads.
- The tiles read *your* work. On a workspace where you are assigned nothing they
  are correctly all zero, however busy the workspace is.
