Your Waybook dashboard is designed to provide a streamlined, focused experience - showing your team members only the content they need, when they need it.
As an admin or manager, understanding what your team sees helps you guide them through training and ensure nothing gets missed.
What Your Team Members See
Your Waybook dashboard displays several widgets and features designed to keep your team focused on the right content at the right time.
Start Here Widget
This widget helps your team prioritize by showing Learning Paths, Documents with upcoming deadlines, and incomplete Documents that require completion. Readers always know what to focus on next, reducing overwhelm and supporting steady progress.
💡 Deadlines are dynamic when set using Learning Paths or Relative Due Dates, and vary based on when each member was granted access.
Content Access
Other than your admins, your team can only see content they've been given access to via group membership or individual Subject and Document permissions. Content outside their permissions is completely hidden, keeping their dashboard clean and focused.
Additional Dashboard Widgets
Beyond the Start Here widget, your team has access to several features that help them navigate and use your knowledge base effectively.
Organizational Updates - Important announcements, news, and polls from leadership. This keeps everyone informed about company-wide information and allows teams to provide feedback through polls.
Required Document Progress - A visual progress indicator showing completion percentage across all required Documents, helping readers track their overall progress at a glance.
Bookmarked Documents - Your team can bookmark Documents for quick access. Bookmarked items appear in a dedicated widget on their dashboard for easy reference.
Recently Viewed - Shows recently viewed Documents so your team can pick up where they left off without searching.
Notifications - Displays unread notifications about Document assignments, comments, and updates that require attention.
Achievements - Shows badges and milestones earned for completing Documents, using features, or reaching learning goals.
Links - Quick access to external tools and resources your organization uses, like payroll systems, CRM platforms, or calendars.
Search and Waybook Ask - Located in the top bar, your team can search for keywords, Steps, and titles within their assigned content, or use Waybook Ask to get AI-powered answers to questions based on your documented knowledge.
Customizing the Dashboard
Admins and managers can customize the dashboard for the entire organization to improve engagement and reflect your brand.

Update the header image to display your company branding or a welcome message:
Switch to Edit mode to make changes
Press the Settings icon at the top of your dashboard
Select from our library of images or upload your own
Press the Save Changes button in the top-left corner
The new header will appear for all team members across your organization.
Managing Widgets
Add, remove, or reorganize widgets to prioritize what matters most to your team:
Switch to Edit mode to make changes
Hover over a widget to edit it, or press the + Add Widget button
Drag and drop widgets to reorder them
Press the Save Changes button in the top-left corner
This lets you emphasize certain widgets like Start Here, Bookmarks, or Recent Documents based on your team's needs.
Checking What Readers See
While you can't log in as a reader, you can review and manage their experience:
Progress Matrix - Navigate to Reports > Progress Matrix to see which Documents a user has access to, check their completion status, and view what's reference-only and what requires completion.
Exit Edit Mode - Toggle out of Edit mode to preview your dashboard and Documents as readers see them, helping you review layout and Step formatting.
