Admin Dashboard Overview

When you log in as an admin, the dashboard is the first thing you see. It is designed to surface what matters most at a glance: how full your organization is, what your programs look like, and whether any matches need your attention right now. This article walks you through every section.

The Capacity Widget

At the top of the dashboard you will find the capacity widget. It shows your current seat usage as a ratio: active and invited members out of your organization's maximum seat limit. For example, "87 / 100 seats."

The widget is color-coded to give you an immediate read on headroom:

  • Green: You have plenty of room to grow.
  • Yellow: You are approaching your limit and may want to review before inviting more members.
  • Red: You are at or near capacity. New invitations will fail until capacity is resolved.

Only members with an ACTIVE or INVITED status count against your seat limit. Members who have been imported but not yet invited (PROVISIONED status) do not consume a seat.

Program Cards

Below the capacity widget, you will see a card for each published program in your organization. Each card shows:

  • The program name and type (Mentorship or Networking)
  • Total enrolled members
  • Active match count
  • A quick link to open the full program view

If a program is in Draft status, it appears in a separate section and is not visible to members.

Clicking a program card takes you directly to the program's detail view, where you can manage enrollment, trigger matching, and review configuration.

Match Overview

The match overview panel surfaces your most time-sensitive items. Matches are sorted by risk first, not by creation date. The ordering is:

  1. At-risk matches: Pairs flagged by the engagement score as needing attention.
  2. Pending matches: Matches waiting in the Shadow Approval Queue for your review.
  3. Concluding matches: Pairs in the wind-down phase approaching completion.
  4. Active matches: All other healthy, in-progress pairs.

This ordering means you always see the situations that need a decision or intervention at the top, rather than scrolling to find them.

Quick Actions

The dashboard includes quick-action links for the most common admin tasks:

  • Invite Members: Opens the invite flow directly from the dashboard.
  • Run Matching: Navigates to the matching configuration for your most recently active program.
  • Review Pending Matches: Takes you directly to the Shadow Approval Queue.

These shortcuts are designed to minimize the number of clicks for frequent workflows.

Navigating the Admin Console

The left-hand navigation panel gives you access to every area of the admin console:

  • Members: Your full member roster, with status filtering and bulk actions.
  • Programs: All programs, including drafts and archived ones.
  • Matches: The match overview and per-match detail pages.
  • Settings: Branding, enrollment mode, notification preferences, team members, and API keys.

Your organization subdomain appears at the top of the navigation so you always know which organization's console you are viewing. Admins who manage more than one organization can switch between them from the account menu.

What to Do First

If you are brand new, the most productive path through the console is:

  1. Check the capacity widget to confirm you have seats available.
  2. Review any pending matches in the approval queue.
  3. Scan the at-risk matches in the match overview and decide whether any need a manual follow-up.
