Dashboard overview

Overview

The dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It gives you a real-time overview of your AI governance program, showing key metrics across all areas of the platform in a customizable layout.

You can quickly spot areas that need attention, track progress over time and jump directly to any section by clicking a widget.

Personalized greeting

The dashboard greets you based on the time of day. Morning, afternoon and evening greetings change automatically. On special occasions like international observance days, you may see themed greetings.

Dashboard widgets

Widget cards display at-a-glance metrics for different parts of your governance program. Each card shows the total count for that category and, where applicable, a visual breakdown of how items are distributed by status.

Status breakdown charts

Widgets that have status workflows show a donut chart breaking down how items are distributed. This makes it easy to see the health of each area at a glance:

• Models: Shows distribution across lifecycle stages like Development, Testing, Production and Retired
• Vendors: Displays vendor assessment status such as Pending review, Approved and Requires attention
• Vendor risks: Shows risk severity levels including Critical, High, Medium and Low
• Policies: Displays lifecycle status like Draft, Under review, Published and Archived
• Trainings: Shows completion status: Planned, In progress and Completed
• Incidents: Displays resolution status such as Open, Investigating and Resolved

Priority indicators

Widgets automatically highlight items that may need immediate attention. Visual cues help you prioritize:

• High priority: Red highlight for critical items like critical vendor risks or overdue policies
• Medium priority: Amber highlight for items that need attention soon but aren't urgent
• Quick actions: Some widgets show action buttons so you can address priority items right from the dashboard

Customizing the dashboard layout

You can personalize the dashboard to match your workflow by rearranging widgets and choosing which ones to display.

Entering edit mode

To customize your dashboard:

1. Click the lock icon in the top right corner of the dashboard
2. The icon changes to an unlocked state, meaning edit mode is active
3. A "Show/hide cards" selector appears next to the lock icon
4. Make your changes (drag, resize or hide widgets)
5. Click the lock icon again to save your layout and exit edit mode

Rearranging widgets

While in edit mode, you can drag widgets to reposition them:

• Click and hold the widget header (a grip icon appears when in edit mode)
• Drag the widget to your desired position
• Other widgets rearrange automatically to make room
• Release to drop the widget in place

Resizing widgets

Some widgets can be resized while in edit mode:

• Drag any edge or corner of a widget to resize it
• Widgets snap to a grid for consistent alignment
• Some widgets have fixed sizes and can't be resized (Use cases, Users, Evidence, Reports)
• Widgets with status charts can be made larger to show more detail

Showing and hiding widgets

Use the "Show/hide cards" selector to control which widgets appear:

• Click the "Show/hide cards" dropdown that appears in edit mode
• Check or uncheck widgets to show or hide them
• Hidden widgets are removed from the dashboard but can be restored at any time
• If you hide all widgets, a prompt appears to help you restore them

Navigating from the dashboard

Each widget is clickable and takes you to the matching section of the platform:

• Use cases: Opens the use cases overview page

• Vendors: Opens the vendor management page
• Vendor risks: Opens the vendor risks view
• Policies: Opens the policy manager

Quick add from dashboard

The "Add new" dropdown in the top right corner lets you create new items without leaving the dashboard. Use it to quickly add use cases, models, vendors, policies and more.

First login experience

When you first log in, you may be asked to confirm or update your organization name. This makes sure your governance docs and reports show the right organization identifier.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reset my dashboard to the default layout?

Enter edit mode and use the "Show/hide cards" selector to hide all widgets. Then click the link to restore all cards, which resets them to the default layout. You can also clear your browser's local storage for the VerifyWise site.

Is the dashboard layout shared across my team?

No. Each user has their own dashboard layout. Changes you make only affect your view and are saved in your browser. Other team members see their own customized layout.

How current is the data on the dashboard?

Dashboard data loads when you open the page and reflects the current state of your governance program. To see the latest data, refresh the page. Changes you make elsewhere in the platform show up when you next visit or refresh the dashboard.

Does the dashboard work on mobile devices?

The dashboard is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes. On smaller screens, widgets rearrange into a single-column layout. Full customization features work best on larger screens.
