# Dashboard overview

The Strikepoint dashboard is organized around the lifecycle of an engagement: setup, execution, evidence handling, remediation, reporting, portal delivery, staffing, and account security.

## Sidebar map

The left sidebar is the primary navigation inside `/dashboard`.

It collapses to an icon rail, and some items only appear when your role can manage the matching area.

### Core work areas

* **Dashboard**: analytics, recent engagements, recent reports, and a quick link to create a new engagement
* **Customers**: customer records, points of contact, and customer-linked engagement history
* **Engagements**: active and past engagement records, findings, endpoints, credentials, services, Nmap intake, and report launch points
* **Reports**: one-off report creation, review status, publication state, automation visibility, and report workspaces
* **Remediation** (`/dashboard/remediation`): org-scoped remediation queue — not in the sidebar, but linked from findings

### Supporting libraries

* **Teams**: engagement teams and engagement assignments
* **Team Members**: organization invitations, included seats, and active access
* **Playbooks**: internal checklist and process library
* **Integrations**: catalog of supported internal workflow surfaces

### Restricted utilities

* **Tools**: embedded security tools for authorized users

### Personal settings

* **Account**: profile, password, two-factor authentication, and close-account controls
* **Settings**: access summary and quick links to account, alerts, support, and administration settings where allowed
* **Support**: support entrypoints and documentation hub links
* **Sign Out**: ends your authenticated session from the sidebar footer

The bell icon opens your recent alerts without leaving the dashboard.

## Dashboard home

The **Dashboard** landing page is a situational overview, not a long-form workspace.

You can expect:

* a metrics strip with **Users**, **Customers**, **Active Engagements**, **Teams**, and **Open Findings**
* a **Findings Severity Chart** showing the current severity mix
* recent engagement cards with launch links into each engagement
* a **Create New Engagement** card if your role can create engagements
* a **Recent Reports** table with direct links back to report activity

<VisibilityNote>
  The dashboard home reflects your scoped visibility. It does not guarantee access to every engagement or report in the organization.
</VisibilityNote>

## How to choose the right page

Use this rule of thumb:

* Go to **Customers** when you need customer context or points of contact.
* Go to **Engagements** when you are doing live delivery work.
* Go to **Reports** when you are creating, reviewing, tracking, exporting, or publishing deliverables.
* Go to **Remediation** when you need a cross-engagement view of finding remediation state.
* Go to **Customer portal** (`/portal`) when you need to verify published customer-visible content.
* Go to **Teams** or **Team Members** when you are adjusting staffing structure.
* Go to **Account** when you are fixing your own login, MFA, or profile state.
