How to Use the Dashboard

Your personalized home base with key metrics, recent activity, and quick links.

What It Does

The Dashboard is your personalized home base inside ThinkKits. It shows key metrics from your saved schools and searches, recent activity across the platform, and quick links to your most-used tools. The widget layout is customizable so you see what matters most first.

Widgets pull live data from your saved schools, active grant pipelines, and recent searches. As you use the platform, the dashboard adapts to surface the most relevant information.

Who It's For

All users. The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It provides a quick orientation no matter your role — educator, district administrator, vendor, or researcher.

How to Use It

  1. Log in to ThinkKits. The Dashboard loads as your default home screen.
  2. Review the KPI widgets at the top showing saved schools, active grants, and recent searches.
  3. Click any widget to jump directly to the relevant tool or data view.
  4. Use the "Customize" button to add, remove, or rearrange widgets.
  5. Click "Recently Used" to quickly reopen tools you accessed in your last session.
