Navigating the Dashboard

Your dashboard is the central hub for your ministry of protection. Here is a complete tour of what you will see when you log in.

The left sidebar is organized into sections. The items you see depend on your role — not every Safety Team Member sees every item.

Role-Based Visibility: You will only see the sidebar items that apply to your role. If you do not see a section listed above, it means your role does not include access to that feature. This is by design — the platform shows each Watchman only what is needed for their stewardship.

Session-Gated Items: The On Duty, Active Team, and Team Assignments sidebar entries are hidden unless you have an active or imminent duty session. They appear automatically when you are within the check-in window for an upcoming assignment.

Safety Team Member Dashboard

When you log in as a Safety Team Member, your dashboard is organized into the following sections:

At the top of your dashboard you will see “Stay ready for your next assignment” along with two quick-action buttons: View Schedule and View Compliance.

Action Required

This orange card appears when you have items that need your immediate attention. It includes:

  • Unread bulletins — including any marked CRITICAL (displayed in red)
  • Critical compliance items — certifications or requirements that are overdue

The badge on this card shows the total count of items needing action.

Policies Pending Review

This blue card lists non-blocking policy acknowledgements waiting for your signature. These are important but do not prevent you from accessing the platform.

Swap Inbox

If another Safety Team Member has sent you a shift swap request, or if there are open swap requests you can take, they appear here. You can Accept, Decline, or Take a swap directly from the dashboard.

Summary Cards

Three cards appear in a row giving you a quick snapshot:

  • Upcoming Assignments — How many assignments you have in the next 30 days
  • Readiness Status — Your current status (GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, or RED) with item counts
  • Training Registrations — Your upcoming training sessions

Upcoming Assignments

A table showing your upcoming scheduled assignments with columns for Event, Post, Time, and Status. You can click Request Swap on any assignment if you need coverage.

My Compliance

Displays the top four compliance items needing your attention, so you can quickly see what to address first.

My Training

Lists your upcoming training sessions along with your registration status for each.

Applicant Dashboard

If you are an Applicant going through the onboarding process, you will see a completely different dashboard.

Your dashboard displays “Applicant Onboarding” with a welcome message and three summary cards:

  • Remaining — Steps you still need to complete
  • Pending Review — Steps you have submitted that are awaiting approval
  • Completed — Steps that have been approved

Below the summary cards, you will see an interactive onboarding steps checklist. Each step shows its current status (Missing, Pending Review, or Valid), and you can click into each step to take the required action.

🛡️

Applicants: Your sidebar only shows a single item — your onboarding dashboard. Once your Organization Admin promotes you to Safety Team Member, you will gain access to the full sidebar and dashboard described above.

Mobile Dashboard

On mobile-sized screens (md:hidden), your dashboard displays a purpose-built layout in place of the desktop card grid. The desktop layout is unchanged for users on larger screens.

Mobile dashboard — Dashboard Summary accordion, Upcoming Duty grouped by day, and Readiness banner

Theme

The platform uses Dark Mode by default to reduce visual exposure in low-light sanctuary environments. This cannot be changed.
