New Editing Dashboard

We are excited to announce a new dashboard to greet you when you log in! Our goal is to provide information at your fingertips to help you make decisions, keep your site fresh, and present opportunities for improvement. 
The dashboard will launch with a few blocks of information, but you can expect additional blocks to be added over time. 
In time, this dashboard will replace the maintenance reports you receive several times per year.

The first block of the dashboard includes recent HSDP announcements. These are quick updates from us about the H&S Drupal Platform (HSDP). Some will be short and to the point. Others might require longer explanations, in which case they will include a link, often to another guide in this wiki. 
My Latest Edits﻿
"My latest edits" block within the Dashboard. There are 5 columns left to right: Title (of the webpage), content type, status, last updated, and edit. A button to "view all content" lives in the bottom right corner."My latest edits" block within the Dashboard. There are 5 columns left to right: Title (of the webpage), content type, status, last updated, and edit. A button to "view all content" lives in the bottom right corner.
The second block of the dashboard shows the pieces of content you have most recently edited. It includes a list of pages, their content type (e.g. Flexible Page, Event, etc.), status (published or unpublished), and date last updated. For each item, you can click the edit button to make further changes, or the caret to its right to view older revisions. 
Pages with Accessibility Issues﻿

Each item is the name of a webpage and the number of issues it contains. A button in the lower right corner of the block reads, "View all pages with issues."
The next Dashboard block lists pages with accessibility issues. Pages with the most issues are shown first. The block is limited to 5 items, and additional pages can be found by clicking "View all pages with issues." 
As time permits, we hope you'll work through these issues page by page. To do so, simply click the page name and resolve the issues identified by  Editoria11y⁠ . More information about resolving issues can be found in the ﻿ ♿⁠⁠Accessibility and Content Writing⁠ section of this guide and at  SODA .
Duplicate Profiles﻿
Duplicate profiles section of the Dashboard. Two identical names can be found in the list. The column for "source" indicates that one name was imported and the other was created locally on the site.Duplicate profiles section of the Dashboard. Two identical names can be found in the list. The column for "source" indicates that one name was imported and the other was created locally on the site.
The "Duplicate Profiles" block shows instances where multiple profiles share the same name, most likely indicating an error or redundancy. This block lists not only the duplicated profiles, but also how the content reached your site. Some profiles are created locally (directly on your site), while others are imported from a Workgroup, an Org Code, or some combination of the two. 
On occasion, you may encounter duplicates. Most of the time, we recommend clicking the link to "unpublish" the local person profile, although if you feel that's not the right choice for your site, please  contact us via support  for a short conversation. More information can be found in the guide on ﻿ ⁠⁠Troubleshooting: Duplicate Person Profiles Importing⁠ . 
Active Site Editors﻿
"Active Site Editors" block of the Dashboard. Three columns are shown: editor name, role(s), and last access."Active Site Editors" block of the Dashboard. Three columns are shown: editor name, role(s), and last access.
Below Duplicate Profiles is "Active site editors." This block lists every person with permission to edit content, including Site Manager, Contributor, Author, and Developer. You'll notice a list with columns for the person's name or SUNetID, all of their assigned roles, and when they last accessed the site.  
Only "active" editors are listed, which means if someone previously had permissions on your site but no longer does, they will not be displayed.
As a reminder, the best practice is for each editor to have only Site Manager OR Contributor status, not both. Learn more about ﻿ ⁠⁠User Roles⁠  and how to ﻿ ⁠⁠Manage User Permissions⁠ .
Importers ﻿

This block was added for informational purposes. Depending on your site's configuration, you may see data in all of these areas, just one or two, or none. More information about importers and how they work on your site can be found in the  Importers guide⁠ .
