Home Page Basics
Dashboard widgets provide quick access to key information and features on your home page. The widgets you see depend on your company’s configuration. In most cases, you’ll have a mix of map-based widgets, seat or schedule widgets, and company bulletins or reservation widgets.
Below is an example of a typical home dashboard that includes:
- Room Reservation Status
- Seat Status
- Room Reservations
- Seat Assignment
- Favorite Resources
- Company Bulletin

These widgets give you a snapshot of seat and room availability, your current resource assignments, upcoming reservations, and any company announcements.
