Dashboard overview

Overview

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

The dashboard gives you immediate visibility into your governance status, helping you quickly identify areas that need attention and track progress over time. Each widget links directly to its corresponding section, allowing you to navigate efficiently to any part of the platform.

Personalized greeting

The dashboard welcomes you with a personalized greeting based on the time of day. Morning, afternoon, and evening greetings adapt automatically. On special occasions like international observance days, you may see themed greetings to mark the occasion.

Dashboard widgets

The dashboard displays widget cards that provide at-a-glance metrics for different areas of your governance program. Each card shows the total count for that category and, where applicable, a visual breakdown of status distribution.

Status breakdown charts

Widgets for entities with status workflows display a donut chart showing how items are distributed across different statuses. This visual breakdown helps you quickly understand the health of each area:

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

Priority indicators

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

• High priority: Red highlight indicates critical items requiring immediate attention, such as critical vendor risks or overdue policies
• Medium priority: Amber highlight indicates items that need attention soon but are not urgent
• Quick actions: Some widgets display action buttons to help you address priority items directly from the dashboard

Frequently asked questions

How do I reset my dashboard to the default layout?

To reset your dashboard, 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. Alternatively, you can clear your browser's local storage for the VerifyWise site.

Is the dashboard layout shared across my team?

No, each user has their own personalized 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 is fetched when you load 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 will appear on the dashboard when you next visit or refresh it.

Does the dashboard work on mobile devices?

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