Read your dashboard

What this achieves

The dashboard is the first screen you see when you sign in. It shows the things waiting for you and a short summary of how you, or your team, are doing.

Required role: Any signed-in user.

Steps

Go to Dashboard.
Read the greeting line at the top. It names you and today’s date.
Read the Ask Vera panel beneath it, which offers a question box and a few suggested questions for your role.
Read the four figures across the middle. They are the summary for your role.
Read the panels beneath them for the detail behind those figures.

If you are an employee

Four figures, and that is the whole screen.

Option	Description
My Readiness	How ready you currently are for the role you are working towards.
Courses In Progress	Learning you have started and not finished.
Completed	Learning you have finished.
Overdue	Learning that has passed its due date.

Example: James Whitfield signs in, sees one course overdue, and goes to his learning to finish it.

If you are a manager

Option	Description
Team Size	How many people report to you.
Avg Readiness	The average readiness across your reports. It reads as a dash until somebody has been scored.
Pending Approvals	Decisions waiting on you.
Overdue Learning	How many learning assignments your reports have missed.

Two panels sit below the figures.

Option	Description
Direct Reports	Your team, each with their readiness and how long they have been here. Somebody hired in the last 90 days is marked as new. Select a person to open their record.
Overdue Learning	Each missed assignment, with the course, the person, the due date, and how many days late it is.

Example: Olivia Bennett sees an engineer 20 days overdue on a course, and opens that person’s record from the row rather than going looking for them.

If nobody reports to you yet, the screen says so instead of showing the panels. People appear once they are assigned to you as their manager on their employee record.

If you are an administrator

Option	Description
Active Employees	Active headcount across the company.
Avg Readiness	Average readiness, with the change since the last snapshot.
Learning Completion	How much assigned learning is finished.
Open Opportunities	Internal roles currently open.

Below the figures are two panels and a strip of four smaller counts.

Option	Description
Readiness Distribution	A ring grouping people as Ready Now, 1 Year, 2 Years, Developing, or Not Assessed.
Department headcount	Headcount per department.
New hires (30d)	People who joined in the last 30 days.
Terminations (30d)	People who left in the last 30 days.
Pending approvals	Decisions waiting across the company. Select it to open your approvals.
Active enrollments	Learning currently under way.

Example: Priya Raman sees company headcount and department roll-ups. Olivia Bennett, looking at the same screen, sees her engineers only — so the two of them quoting different numbers are both right.

An administrator’s dashboard can also be reordered, and individual panels hidden. That is done on its own screen in insights and analytics rather than on the dashboard itself.

If you are an instructor

Option	Description
My Courses	Courses you teach.
Active Learners	People currently enrolled with you.
Pending Grading	Submissions waiting for a mark.
Avg Score	The average score across your learners.
Upcoming Sessions	Scheduled sessions, with how many people have registered and whether the session is virtual.
Grading Queue	What is waiting, how many questions it holds, and when it was submitted. Each row offers Grade.
Course Performance	Enrolled, completed, completion rate, and average progress for each course you teach.

Every figure is bounded by what you may see

The dashboard never shows you data your role does not reach. A manager’s figures cover their own reports; an administrator’s cover the company. This is why the same tile name can carry a different number for two colleagues.

Example: Avg Readiness on Olivia Bennett’s screen is her engineers’ average. The same tile on Priya Raman’s screen is the company’s.

What happens next

Use the dashboard to find the one thing that needs you, then open the section that owns it — a pending approval leads to approvals, an overdue course to learning. For trends and comparisons rather than a status glance, use insights and analytics.
