Overview

Cascade’s Dashboard is the first screen you see when you log in. It is a one-stop place for the management of your content, with movable widgets to set your own personal favorites. Some widgets display site-specific information while others display user-specific information.

Default Widgets

By default, the dashboard includes the following widgets:

  • Welcome - You can add widgets or reset your dashboard from the Welcome widget. If you have unread notifications, you can click the badge on the date in this widget to view them.

  • My Sites - Sites you've recently visited will be listed here. Click any of them to access site, or use the Site dropdown menu to view all sites you have access to.

  • My Upcoming Tasks - Tasks assigned to you will be listed here in order of their due date.

  • New Content - Create new assets right from the dashboard by clicking on any of the Asset Factories in this widget.

  • My Content - Quickly access your recently-viewed assets, owned content, drafts and working copies, and workflows from this widget. If you have workflows waiting on you or one of your groups, you'll see a badge on the Workflows tab.

  • Stale Content - Keep your content fresh by monitoring stale assets that haven't been updated in a while.

  • Notifications - Your most recent notifications such as workflow notifications, publish reports, and user mentions will be listed here.

  • Content to Review - Assets with upcoming review dates will be listed here.

  • Link Checker - If a broken link check is scheduled for your site(s), the number of broken links and assets with broken links found will be displayed here.
