# Your dashboard

Find your way around the NextIT home page: key figures, action cards, the assessment banner, notifications, help and your profile.

## What this module is for

The dashboard is the home page of NextIT. It shows the key figures for your company, the next steps in your compliance work, and links to every area of the app. Use it as your starting point to reach any module.

## Before you start

-   You need an active NextIT account. Open [NextIT](https://app.nextit.tech/) and sign in.
-   Your role decides which cards you see. The table below shows the cards for each role.
-   Your company name appears in the page title.

## How to open a module from the dashboard

1.  1

    Open the dashboard

    Sign in to NextIT. The dashboard opens as the home page.

2.  2

    Select an action card

    Select a card, such as `Security Incident Register` or `Portability Requests`. The module opens.

3.  3

    Return to the dashboard

    Select the `Back to Dashboard` button in the module.

## What you see

The page title is your company name followed by `Compliance Dashboard`. The page shows:

-   Four key performance indicator (KPI) tiles: `Monthly spend`, `High-risk software`, `Public scan score` and `Last scan`.
-   The `Top 5 most expensive software` panel.
-   The assessment banner.
-   The action cards, in two rows.
-   For an Admin only, a widget that tracks the expiry of evidence.

## Action cards and who sees them

| Card | Admin | User | Auditor |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Security Incident Register` | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| `Portability Requests` | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| `Control Management` | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| `Evidence Repository` | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| `AI Privacy Policy & Terms Generator` | Yes | No | Yes |
| `Compliance Report` | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| `User Management` | Yes | No | No |
| `Company Information` | Yes | No | No |

Select `User Management` to open `Access & Roles` in My Company. Select `Company Information` to open My Company.

## Key figures

Each KPI tile shows one figure for your company. Select a tile to see more detail.

-   Select `Public scan score` to open the `Scan Report`. The `Scan Report` checks your domain and website from the outside.
-   Select `Top 5 most expensive software` to see the five software items with the highest cost.

## The assessment banner

The banner `Complete your compliance assessment` has two buttons.

-   `Start Assessment` opens the questions. See [Compliance assessment](https://nextit.tech/docs/compliance-assessment/) for details.
-   `Retake Assessment` starts the assessment again. Auditors do not see this button, and they cannot save answers to the questions.

## Notifications

Open the notifications panel on the dashboard to see alerts from NextIT, such as new vulnerability alerts. Acknowledge an alert to confirm that you have seen it.

To choose which notifications you receive, open `My Profile`.

## Help & Support

Select `Help & Support` on the dashboard. The page has four tabs.

-   `Getting Started` gives short guides.
-   `Tutorials` gives video tutorials.
-   `FAQs` lets you search questions by category.
-   `Support` gives you `Send Email` to contact the team, and `Book Now` to book a consulting session.

## My Profile

Open the header menu and select `My Profile`. The page holds:

-   `Quick Actions`: `View Dashboard`, `Manage Controls` and `View Reports`.
-   Your personal information and `Change Password`.
-   Your subscription. See [Plans & billing](https://nextit.tech/docs/plans-and-billing/).
-   Your language. If you do not choose a language, NextIT opens in French.
-   Your notification preferences.
-   `MCP Settings`, where you select `Connect an AI assistant`. MCP means Model Context Protocol, and AI means artificial intelligence. You sign in with your own account, and the assistant never gets more than your role allows.

## Common tasks

-   Open a module: select its card on the dashboard.
-   Start or repeat the assessment: select `Start Assessment` or `Retake Assessment` in the banner.
-   See your scan results: select the `Public scan score` tile.
-   Find an answer: open `Help & Support` and select `FAQs`.
-   Change your password or language: open `My Profile`.

## Tips

-   Check the KPI tiles after you add software or domains, to see the change.
-   Search `FAQs` in `Help & Support` before you contact support.
-   After you connect an AI assistant, ask it for your compliance score.
