Dashboards ​

Dashboards are your personal command center in Ascend. They allow you to combine views from different modules (Inbox, Tasks, Pages) into a single, customizable screen.

1. Default Dashboard ​

When you first log in, you land on the Home dashboard.

  • Widgets: Typically includes "Recent Pages", "My Tasks", "Inbox", and "Daily Schedule".
  • Customization: You can reorder or resize these widgets to fit your workflow.

2. Creating Custom Dashboards ​

You can create multiple dashboards for different contexts (e.g., "Personal", "Work", "Project A").

How to Create ​

  1. Go to the Dashboards section in the sidebar.
  2. Click + New Dashboard.
  3. Give it a name and icon.
  4. Choose a layout (e.g., Single Column, Split View, Grid).

3. Adding Widgets ​

Widgets are the building blocks of a dashboard.

  1. Click Edit Dashboard (pencil icon).
  2. Click Add Widget.
  3. Choose a widget type:
    • Page List: Show pages from a specific workspace/tag.
    • Database View: Embed a view of any database (e.g., "My High Priority Tasks").
    • Inbox: Show your recent emails/events.
    • Text/Image: Add static headers, instructions, or motivational images.
    • Embed: Embed external content (Google Docs, Figma, etc.).

4. Managing Layouts ​

  • Resize: Drag the corners of a widget to make it larger or smaller.
  • Move: Drag the widget header to move it around the grid.
  • Remove: Click the X or menu on a widget to remove it.

Don't forget to click Save after arranging your dashboard!

5. Sharing Dashboards ​

  • Private: By default, dashboards are private to you.
  • Shared: You can share a dashboard with your Workspace or specific team members. This is great for creating "Team Homepages" or "Project Portals".
