Cockpit

The Cockpit is a collection of various widgets that provide overall metrics on workspace activities, resources, statuses, schedules, etc. Using the Cockpit, you can quickly get a bird's-eye overview of your workspace. Also, you can use the Cockpit to quickly access your tasks, discussions, recent changes, favourite project items, etc.

To view the Cockpit, click the "Dashboard" section in Home menu and go to the "Cockpit" tab. 

Overview

In the "Cockpit" tab, you will firstly see the overview chart pies showing current consumption of budget and personnel expenditure in percent and values, as well as your activities and events by their status (read here how to customize status workflow). You can also see the overall percentage of projects' completion. 

On the right side, you will find two panels: one showing the overall timeline of the projects' activities with the actual timing, the second showing custom tips on what you should do next in your workspace.
