Your dashboard

The dashboard is the first screen you see when you sign in. It answers three questions in order: is anyone waiting on me, what should I work on next, and what did I want to remember. Everything else on the page comes after those.

What you see on the dashboard

The page is built from a few stacked sections. Some only appear when there is something to show, so your dashboard may be shorter or longer than a colleague’s.

• A greeting at the top. A short hello with your name, matched to the time of day where you are. Underneath it, one line sums up where you stand: how many things are waiting on you, and how many cards are open on your name.
• For you. The things that genuinely await an answer from you: someone mentioned you, replied in your thread, assigned you a card, marked up your drawing, or asked for access. This section only appears when there is something in it (see below).
• My work. The ten most important cards assigned to you, across every project.
• My notes. Your own open notes, on a slightly warmer surface so they never read as system data. A note is a small personal reminder, just for you.
• Favourites. The files and folders you have starred, across all your projects, newest star first. Hidden until you star something, so it never sits there empty.
• Recent projects. Tiles for your three most recently created projects, the same tiles you see on the Projects page. Each tile shows the team and any cards assigned to you.
• A short stats overview. Three small charts covering roughly the last two weeks: new cards (work coming in), open cards (work still on the board right now), and overall board activity (the general pulse).

Tip: Hover the small “i” icon on a stat to read exactly what that number counts.

For you: the things waiting on an answer

This section is deliberately short. It shows at most three rows, newest first, and each row tells you the message itself rather than a summary of it: the comment someone wrote, the note they left on your drawing, or the card they put on your name. Underneath, one quiet line says who did it and where.

The icon on the left says what kind of thing it is at a glance: a conversation, a file, a card, or a decision someone is asking you to make.

You can deal with a row without opening it:

1. Click the row to open the exact spot it is about, for example the comment inside its thread. The row is then marked as read.
2. Hover the row (or look at the right edge on a phone) to swap the timestamp for two buttons: a check to mark it handled, and a clock to put it off until tomorrow morning.
3. Use the keyboard if you prefer: with a row focused, press Enter to open it, E to mark it handled, or S to snooze it.
4. Handle all in the section header marks everything as read at once, with an undo link in case that was too hasty.

A few rules keep this list honest:

• Something you read stays visible, quietly greyed, until the end of the day. It will not vanish under your hands.
• Something you snooze comes back tomorrow morning as new again.
• Repeats collapse: if the same person changes the same thing three times within the hour, that is one row, not three.
• Nothing older than two weeks appears here. An inbox full of last month’s news is one you stop reading. The work itself is not lost: it stays in My work and in your notification center.
• When nothing is waiting, the whole section disappears. That is the point, and the line under your name already tells you that you are clear.

The number beside “For you” and the number on the sidebar bell are the same number, always. They come from the same place.

My work: what to do next

My work lists the ten most important cards assigned to you, from every project at once. A card is a single piece of work on a project board.

The order is the message here, so it is worth knowing how it is decided:

• Priority comes first. Critical outranks High, and so on. The colour strip on the left edge of each row shows it, so you can see why row one is row one.
• Someone waiting on you lifts a card. If a card has an unanswered question or a fresh comment for you, it climbs. A card someone asked you about this morning matters more than one that has been quietly marked Critical for a month. Those rows carry a small conversation icon.
• Work already in progress edges ahead of work that is only queued, when the rest is equal.
• Backlog cards are left out. Something on the backlog is by definition not in play yet, so it does not belong in a list of what matters now.

A muted line next to the heading reminds you the list is ordered by what is most urgent. Click any row to open that card on its board.

How to jump into your work

Every section is clickable, so the dashboard doubles as a launch pad.

1. Click a For you row to land on the exact comment, file, or card it is about.
2. Click a My work row to open that card on its board.
3. Click any note to open it on the Notes page, ready to edit. Click the circle on the left to tick it off without leaving the dashboard.
4. Click a favourite file to preview it, or a favourite folder to jump straight into that folder.
5. Click a project tile to open that project.

How to add things quickly

Two keyboard shortcuts open a quick-add panel from anywhere in Wyroo, including the dashboard.

1. Press Cmd+E (on Windows, Ctrl+E) to add a note. Type one note, or paste a whole list with one note per line, and each line becomes its own note. The New note button in the My notes section opens the same panel, and the shortcut is shown next to that section’s title.
2. Press Cmd+K (on Windows, Ctrl+K) to add a card. Give it a title, choose the project, and optionally assign it to a teammate. The card lands at the bottom of that project’s first column.

To start a whole new project, open the sidebar on the left and click Create project. That opens a short step-by-step wizard rather than the quick-add panel.

Practical tips

• Empty sections are not broken. For you disappears when nothing awaits you, and Favourites stays hidden until you star something.
• If My notes is empty, it says so with a nudge and the shortcut, because a thought you did not write down is a thought you lose.
• The dashboard updates on its own as work happens. If a number looks behind, give it a moment rather than reloading.
• Looking for the full stream of everything happening on a project, not just what concerns you? That lives on the project itself. See Team and Spaces for more on working inside a project.
