1.3.1 Dashboard Overview — Layout and Global Widgets
The Praisma Hub dashboard is the primary entry point for users after authentication. It provides a centralized, role-aware overview of the most relevant information, tasks, and system signals for the active user within the current tenant and organization context.
The dashboard is designed to balance clarity, flexibility, and performance. It adapts dynamically based on user role, permissions, enabled modules, and organizational context, ensuring that each user sees only what is relevant to their responsibilities.
Purpose of the Dashboard
The dashboard serves several key purposes:
Provide immediate situational awareness upon login
Surface high-priority actions and alerts
Offer quick access to frequently used modules
Present summarized insights without overwhelming detail
Rather than acting as a static homepage, the dashboard functions as an operational control panel for daily work within Praisma Hub.
Layout Structure
The dashboard layout follows a consistent and accessible structure:
A clear page title identifying the dashboard context
A grid-based layout for widgets and panels
Responsive behavior for different screen sizes
Logical reading order to support keyboard and screen reader navigation
Widgets are arranged in a way that prioritizes critical information at the top and secondary insights further down the page.
Global Widgets
Global widgets are reusable dashboard components that surface tenant-wide or user-relevant information. Common examples include:
Recent content activity (drafts, reviews, publications)
Pending approvals or workflow tasks
System notifications or alerts
Usage or quota indicators
Recent inbox messages or interactionsnWidgets are configurable and can be enabled or disabled based on role and permissions. This ensures that administrators, editors, and contributors each receive an appropriate overview.
Role-Aware Personalization
The dashboard is role-aware by design. This means:
Editors see content-related widgets and tasks
Administrators see configuration, usage, and system-level indicators
Supervisors see approval queues and team-level overviews
Personalization is applied automatically based on assigned roles and permissions, without requiring manual configuration by the user.
Accessibility Considerations
The dashboard layout and widgets are designed in accordance with WCAG 2.1 AA principles:
Semantic HTML structure and heading hierarchy
Keyboard-accessible widgets and controls
Sufficient color contrast and focus indicators
Screen reader-friendly labels and descriptions
This ensures that the dashboard remains usable for all users, including those relying on assistive technologies.
Summary
The dashboard overview provides a clear, adaptive, and accessible starting point for all users of Praisma Hub. By combining global visibility with role-based relevance, it supports efficient daily operations across diverse user groups.
