Dashboard

Your home screen, summary tiles, and navigation launch points.

This guide is the detailed Campsite help article for this topic. It is written for UK employers and people teams using a branded organisation workspace such as {org}.camp-site.co.uk.

The dashboard is your home screen after sign-in. It shows a role-scoped snapshot of what needs attention across broadcasts, scheduling, HR, and approvals.

What you see on the dashboard

The home screen shows four summary squares at the top:

  1. Unread broadcasts (or This week if your role hides unread counts): how much is waiting in your feed, or how many shifts and events are coming up.
  2. Pending approvals: a single count for everything that needs your sign-off, including broadcast drafts, new member access, leave and rota requests, hiring reviews, and HR compliance items such as right-to-work checks, ID document expiry, and open fit-note cases.
  3. Tasks pending: open tasks assigned to you in the Tasks workspace, including shared multi-assignee tasks.
  4. Custom tile: a metric you choose yourself. Use the customise control on the tile to track department headcount, hiring requests, the next 1:1 meeting, active onboardings, and more.

Below the squares you still get recent broadcasts, the upcoming calendar, and the account setup checklist when onboarding is incomplete.

What you can approve or customise still depends on your role and permissions:

Use the sidebar to move into product areas such as Broadcasts, Calendar, HR, Finance, and Admin. Shift scheduling and swaps open from Calendar via Schedule and swaps. The sidebar is filtered by your role: if you cannot see a section, your role does not include access to it.

The top bar gives you quick access to:

  • Notifications bell for unread alerts across leave, hiring, onboarding, and other domains.
  • Command palette (keyboard shortcut) to jump to pages, approvals, and notification lists.
  • Profile menu for settings, quiet hours, and sign-out.

Page guidance

Many pages include a small info control that explains what the page is for and where related settings live. Use it when you are unsure whether you are in the right place.

Tips

  • Pin or complete your profile early so HR and payroll records stay accurate.
  • If you expect to see a tile or menu item that is missing, check roles and permissions or ask your Super Admin to review your role assignment.

Before you contact support

  1. Confirm you are signed in on the correct organisation URL ({org}.camp-site.co.uk).
  2. Refresh after a recent role or permission change.
  3. Check whether a colleague with the same role can see the same controls.
  4. Capture the page URL and any error text if you still need help.
