When you sign in to Boardssey, you land on your dashboard, the single screen that summarizes what's going on across your team workspace.
This page tours what's on the dashboard, what each widget does, and how to customize what you see.

What you'll see
The dashboard is a grid of widgets. Common ones:
Recent games: the games you've worked on most recently, with cover thumbnails and quick links into them.
Open tasks (assigned to you): the most pressing items on your plate from across all your projects.
Coming up: tasks and playtests scheduled in the next 7 days.
Overdue: anything past its due date that still needs attention.
Latest playtest feedback: the freshest responses from your active playtests.
BGG Hotness: the top-trending board games on BoardGameGeek (toggleable in Settings → User → Profile).
What's new: the most recent monthly Boardssey update.
The exact set evolves over time as new widgets ship.
Customize the dashboard
Most widgets can be toggled on or off:
Click the gear on a widget to remove it (or hide for now).
Click Add widget at the bottom of the page to add one back.
Drag widgets to reorder them (where supported).
Customizations are personal, each team member sees their own dashboard arrangement.
How the dashboard relates to the rest of the app
The dashboard is a summary view, every widget surfaces data that also lives in a more detailed area:
Recent games → full Games library (sidebar).
Open tasks → All tasks view (sidebar).
Playtest feedback → individual Playtest results (sidebar).
What's new → Updates & support in the help center.
If you want detail or filtering on any widget's data, click through to the full area.
Tips & common questions
My dashboard feels empty. If you're brand new, that's expected, there's not much to summarize yet. As you create games and tasks, the widgets fill in. The fastest path to a useful dashboard is Quick start in 5 minutes.
Can I have different dashboards per team? Each team workspace has its own dashboard for that team's data. When you switch workspaces, the dashboard reflects the new team.
Why isn't the BGG Hotness showing? Toggle it on in Settings → User → Profile. It's off by default for some users.
Can my whole team see the same dashboard layout? Layout is personal. Data is shared, everyone with access sees the same recent-games list, but each person arranges their own widgets.
Can I make a widget bigger or smaller? Some widgets support resize handles. Drag a corner. Others are fixed- size for now.
