2.1.1 Dashboard Overview — Activity, Metrics, and System Snapshot

The Dashboard in Praisma Hub serves as the central operational overview for users, providing real-time insight into activity, performance indicators, and the overall system state. It is designed to support informed decision-making, efficient daily work, and early detection of issues, without requiring users to navigate deep into individual modules.

This section describes how the Dashboard presents activity signals, key metrics, and a consolidated system snapshot in a clear, role-aware, and accessible manner.

Purpose of the Dashboard Overview

The primary purpose of the Dashboard Overview is to:

Offer immediate visibility into what is happening across the platform

Highlight items that require attention or action

Summarize performance and usage metrics at a glance

Provide confidence that the system is operating as expected

Rather than replacing detailed module views, the dashboard acts as a situational awareness layer across Praisma Hub.

Activity Overview

The activity section surfaces recent and relevant actions within the tenant. Typical activity signals include:

Content creation, edits, and publications

Workflow transitions such as reviews and approvals

Media uploads or updates

Inbox interactions and survey responses

Administrative changes, where permitted

Activities are ordered by recency and filtered based on the user’s role, organization membership, and permissions. This ensures that users see meaningful activity without being overwhelmed by unrelated events.

Metrics and Indicators

The dashboard presents high-level metrics that summarize platform usage and performance. Examples include:

Number of active content items

Drafts awaiting review or approval

Recent publication volume

User engagement or interaction counts

Storage or usage indicators, where relevant

Metrics are intentionally aggregated and non-intrusive. They provide directional insight rather than exhaustive analytics, encouraging users to drill down into dedicated analytics modules when deeper analysis is required.

System Snapshot

The system snapshot provides reassurance about the operational state of Praisma Hub. Depending on role and permissions, this may include:

General system health indicators

Background job or queue status (high-level)

Notification of scheduled maintenance or incidents

Integration status summaries

The snapshot is designed to be informational, not technical. It communicates system confidence without exposing unnecessary internal details.

Role-Aware Presentation

All dashboard content is rendered in a role-aware manner:

Editors primarily see content-related activity and metrics

Supervisors see approval queues and team-level signals

Administrators see usage, configuration, and system indicators

This role-based filtering is applied automatically and does not require manual dashboard configuration by users.

Data Freshness and Consistency

Dashboard data is refreshed at defined intervals to balance accuracy and performance. Indicators clearly distinguish between:

Real-time or near-real-time data

Periodically aggregated metrics

This transparency prevents misinterpretation and builds trust in the presented information.

Accessibility and Usability

The Dashboard Overview is implemented in line with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines:

Clear heading structure and semantic markup

Keyboard-accessible widgets and controls

Textual alternatives for visual indicators

Sufficient contrast and visible focus states

Users can access all information without reliance on color, motion, or pointer devices.

Summary

The Dashboard Overview in Praisma Hub provides a concise yet comprehensive snapshot of activity, metrics, and system state. By combining role-aware relevance with accessible design, it enables users to stay informed and act efficiently from a single, trusted entry point.
