Navigating the dashboard

Understand the main dashboard and how to find what you need.

Dashboard overview

The dashboard is your home base in VerifyWise. After logging in, this is the first screen you'll see — it provides a snapshot of your AI governance program across all projects and lets you quickly access the areas that need attention.

You can return to the dashboard at any time by clicking the VerifyWise logo in the top-left corner or selecting "Dashboard" from the sidebar menu.

The dashboard automatically refreshes to show the latest data. If you've made changes elsewhere in the platform, they'll be reflected here when you return.

Use case cards

The main area of the dashboard displays cards for each of your AI use cases. Each card gives you a quick view of that use case's governance status.

What each use case card shows

  • •Use case name and description
  • •Compliance status as a percentage
  • •Assessment progress (completed / total)
  • •Control completion metrics
  • •Last updated timestamp

Click on any use case card to open that use case and view its full details, including assessments, controls, risks, and evidence.

Organization metrics

Above the use case cards, you'll find summary metrics that aggregate data across your entire organization. These give you an at-a-glance view of your overall AI governance posture.

Overall compliance

Average compliance percentage across all active use cases

Assessments completed

Number of assessments finished vs. total required

Control completion

Controls and sub-controls implemented across use cases

The sidebar on the left side of the screen is your primary navigation tool. It's organized into logical sections to help you quickly find what you need.
