# Dashboard

## Purpose of This Page <a href="#purpose-of-this-page" id="purpose-of-this-page"></a>

The **Dashboard** is the main landing page of solarVis.

It is designed to help users quickly understand the current state of their operations by summarizing project activity and performance trends at a glance.

From this page, users can monitor how project volume is changing over time, access recently created projects, and initiate common actions required for daily operations.

## What You Can Do Here <a href="#what-you-can-do-here" id="what-you-can-do-here"></a>

With the dashboard page, you can:

* View how many projects were created during the current week and current month
* Track the total number of projects available in the account
* Create a new project directly from the Dashboard
* Access frequently used setup and management actions through shortcuts
* Review a list of recently created projects with key details

## How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

The Dashboard automatically collects data from all projects you have permission to access.

Project metrics are calculated based on project creation dates and are continuously updated to reflect the most recent activity in your account. Trend indicators compare current values with previous periods to highlight increases or decreases in project creation.

The page is organized into four main sections:

### Key Metrics <a href="#key-metrics" id="key-metrics"></a>

Displays high-level project statistics, including:

* Projects created during the current week
* Projects created during the current month
* Projects created during 6 months
* Total number of projects in the account

Visual trend indicators show whether project activity has increased or decreased compared to the previous week or month.

#### New Project

Provides a prominent entry point for creating a new project.

Selecting **Create New Project** starts the standard project creation flow, allowing you to quickly add a new project without leaving the Dashboard.

#### Quick Access

Offers shortcuts to commonly used administrative and setup actions, such as:

* Inviting new members
* Creating teams
* Activating materials in the database
* Creating preset cost sets

Each shortcut redirects you to the relevant management page.

#### Recent Projects

Lists the most recently created projects along with essential information, including:

* Project name
* Customer
* Assignee
* Facility type
* Location
* Creation date

Project names are clickable and allow direct navigation to the selected project for further review or updates.
