Dashboards


The dashboard is your starting point for creating and managing content in Brightspot. It contains widgets for performing common activities, such as creating a new article or video, reviewing recent activity and scheduled events, or uploading images and other file types.

The dashboard is organized into tabs, columns, and widgets.

The Quick Start widget will always appear at the top of the dashboard, and spans the full width of the tab.

Brightspot comes with a standard dashboard, and provides several widgets you can use to customize your dashboards. Custom dashboard widgets can be created to fit your organization’s practices or your own workflow.
