The Dashboard is the main landing page for the User and will be the first thing they see when logging into Ideagen Safe Food. Site Main Dashboards provide an oversight of Risk and Compliance across your business operations. The Main Dashboard contain several smaller 'Dashlets' which focus on an aspect of the site. Hovering over the heading of each Dashlet, you will see a ToolTip that describes the purpose of the Dashlet.

The Main Dashboard will present three main elements:

1. Information and Support: The first element at the top of the Dashboard allows you quick access to contact Customer Support, the User Guide, and other Resources.
   
2. Status: The second element the User will notice is the two Summary Rating Dashlets covering Compliance and Risk. These present a summary of all current data in the site to let Users know if the site is doing what they are supposed to be doing and if there are any issues open increasing risk.
   
3. Key Data and Trends: You will see Dashlets that present to you the most important activity data which typically you need to know and action day to day.

Other Dashlets provide you with useful information on Food Safety Updates and Ideagen Safe Food announcements.
