Dashboard Module Dashboard: Introduction Module Summary The Dashboard is a visual representation of the data stored in KAStrack modules that is pertinent to a user’s account.  Dashboard is the default login screen unless modified in the user profile. How To: Customize Your Default KAStrack Login Screen By default, a user logging in to KAStrack will be taken to the Dashboard Module. The Home Page field allows a user to designate the URL within KAStrack of their preference. To customize your KAStrack Home Page and open your user account to a page other than Dashboard, go to the Account Info Tab on the My Account Page of the Accounts Module. Select the three-dot icon opening the context menu and select “Edit Account Info”. This enables you to edit your own account information. Enter the page URL in this field if you wish to start on a different page than the Dashboard. For example, if you’d like to start in the Documents Module after login, set Home Page to: https://sitename.kastrack.com/r/documents .   As a shortcut, you can also simply use the part after the .com, entering /r/documents in the field. After making changes to the account information, select “Save” and the changes made will be reflected on the Account Info: (User Name) Page. The Dashboard is fully customizable for user preference, allowing at-a-glance visualization of any outstanding or upcoming action items and any alerts the user has set. Multiple dashboards can be created if desired. The dashboard does not show company wide information beyond what is relevant to an individual account. Dashboard Title Tabs can be dragged and dropped for placement, and the order will be reflected on the Main Menu. Widget placement can also be altered by clicking the header and dragging and dropping. When accessing the web-based KAStrack site on a mobile device (not the app), tablet, or Surface laptop, you will not be able to change the placement of widgets through the drag and drop feature. The context menu accessible from the vertical three dot icon in the top right corner of each widget will offer options that allow you to relocate the selected widget. The Dashboard Default Dashboard Summary The default dashboard displays eight Widgets: People, Assets, Documents, Forms, Actions, People-Competency, People-Courses, and Meetings. Each widget is a summary of relevant information from that specific module. The placement of these module summaries can be customized by dragging and dropping widgets into your individual preference. In order to unpin widgets from the default dashboard, KAStrack requires you to create a new dashboard first. Dashboard Context Menu Explanations To the right of a dashboard title is a vertical three dot menu that opens a context menu with options to Add Widget, Edit, Delete, Manage Speed Dials. Dashboard Context Menu Explanations Option Explanation Image Add Widget Selecting “Add Widget” from the dashboard context menu opens the Add Widget Modal on the right-hand side of the screen and has the same function as selecting the “Add Widget” button on the screen’s right side (or in the center of an empty Dashboard). Edit Selecting “Edit” from the dashboard context menu opens the Edit Dashboard Modal, allowing an individual to alter the dashboard name. Deselecting the “Include Info button” checkbox will remove the grey “INFO” button from the top right-hand corner of the dashboard. Delete Selecting “Delete” from the dashboard context menu will open the Delete Dashboard Modal.  You can only delete the Default Dashboard after creation of a new Dashboard. If all Dashboards are deleted, KAStrack will automatically regenerate a new Default Dashboard. Manage Speed Dials Selecting “Manage Speed Dials” from the dashboard context menu will open the Manage Speed Dial Modal. From this modal, an individual can create, edit and delete speed dials. Overview of Widgets The Dashboard is comprised of speed dials and widgets. Speed dials allow you to establish links to KAStrack Documents, Forms, and even URLs, so that you can easily access desired webpages (including webpages outside of the KAStrack system). Widgets highlight module summaries or charts representing report information. A detailed explanation of speed dials, module summary widgets and chart widgets is provided in the tables below. Speed Dial Explanation Table Speed dials are a dashboard feature used to add relevant quick links to frequently needed Documents, Forms, and websites. Speed dials can be displayed three ways: in a horizontal row at the top of a screen, a floating expandable icon, and as a widget. Speed dials cannot be dragged and dropped to reorder them. Instead, they display in the order in which they are pinned to a Dashboard. To change their order, simply unpin and re-add them in the order you wish to have them display. Placement Options Explanation Images of Placement Location Disabled When placement is marked as disabled, the speed dials will no longer show on the dashboard. Disabled unpins the speed dial from the dashboard without deleting record of it from the Module. Top A speed dial with a top placement shows immediately under the page header. The vertical three dot icon opens a context menu with the options to edit or unpin. Floating A speed dial with floating placement is shown as an up arrow icon in the bottom right hand corner that expands when clicked. The context menu shows below links when a floating speed dial is expanded, as well as options to edit and unpin. Widget A speed dial with widget placement will show within the grid of module. The vertical three dot icon opens a context menu with the options to edit or unpin. Module Summary Widget Explanation Module Summary Widget Explanation Table Module Summaries are widgets that summarize all relevant and time sensitive information within specific modules and present it in a condensed format. The widget header in bold identifies the Module being summarized. The first number to the right of the header indicates the number of outstanding or past due actions/ tasks / documents, etc. relevant to the user. If the user is a supervisor/admin, the second number (in parentheses) shows the total number of outstanding actions for the supervisor/admin plus that of all users that report to the supervisor/admin. The vertical three dot icon opens a context menu with the singular option to Unpin. On a mobile device accessing the web version of KAStrack, additional options will show in the context menu, allowing the user to rearrange the ordering of the widgets within the widget grid.
