The first page that you'll see after you log in to your activeCollab is the Dashboard. It is designed to give a brief overview on what's going on with your projects, allow quick access to the latest Tickets, Files, Discussions, etc., and point out events that require your immediate attention.

Here are the tools that are available on your Dashboard tabs:

  1. Recent Activities - shows 30 most recent activities logged by the system, ordered by date with the latest on top. You can subscribe to this list and have the latest information in your RSS reader.
  2. Active Projects - displays a list of active projects you are working on.
  3. New and Updated - displays all events of interest that have occurred since your last visit.
  4. Late and Today - lists all the Milestones from projects you're involved with that are late or due today.
  5. Important Block - displays all important news that require your immediate attention.
  6. Favorite Projects - a list of active projects you have marked as 'favorite'. To add projects to this list, drag and drop a project into this box from the list of Active Projects.
  7. Who is Online - displays a list of users who have accessed activeCollab in the last 15 minutes.

Some of these tools won't be displayed if there is no data to show you. For example, if there's no new or updated objects since your last visit, the New and Updated tab will not be displayed.
