The Dashboard

The Cascade CMS dashboard is a bird's eye view of your action items, notifications, and site content.

You can add or customize widgets to reflect data from one or more of your sites. To view the dashboard, log in to Cascade CMS with your username and password.

By default, the dashboard includes the following widgets:

• Welcome — Add widgets or reset your dashboard. If you have unread notifications, click the badge on the date to view them.
• My Sites — Sites you've recently visited. Click any of them to switch into the site, or use the Site dropdown menu to view all sites you have access to.
• My Upcoming Tasks — Tasks assigned to you, listed 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 starred and recently-viewed assets, owned content, and drafts and working copies.
• My Workflows — If you or a Group you're assigned to has waiting workflows, you'll find them here.
• Stale Content — Monitor stale assets that haven't been updated in a while.
• Notifications — Your most recent notifications such as workflow notifications, publish reports, and user mentions.
• Content to Review — Assets with upcoming review dates.
• Link Checker — If a broken link check is scheduled for your site(s), the number of broken links found will be displayed here.

If you have a Default Site chosen in your account settings, newly-added widgets will be pre-configured to display data and content from that site.
