Dashboard
An at-a-glance overview of status, metrics, and next actions.
What it is
A dashboard summarises the state of a system or account: key metrics, recent activity, and shortcuts to act. It orients the user and routes them onward rather than holding deep detail itself.
When to use
Home screens for tools, admin panels, and any product where users return to check status.
When not to
Single-task or linear flows where a focused screen beats a broad overview.
