Your First Look at the Dashboard: Dashboard vs Overview

Your account's nav has two separate links — Dashboard and Overview — and it's easy to assume one is just a tab or a variant of the other. They're not. Both are full pages, and both show fleet data pulled from the same underlying source, but what each one shows and lets you do is different.

Dashboard

Dashboard is where you land right after logging in. It shows only your 4 worst-performing categories, sorted worst-first, instead of the full list, plus a separate "Needs Attention" panel: every device-and-category combination currently below your passing threshold, worst first, across your whole fleet, also capped at 4.

Overview

Overview shows the same underlying fleet data in full, and adds something Dashboard doesn't have: a group filter. Pick a specific device group, and Overview recalculates the category stats and device list — rates, counts, the overall percentage — scoped to just that group's devices, instead of your whole account. Dashboard has no equivalent; it's always account-wide.

Same numbers, different names

Both pages compute the same underlying compliance percentage and category breakdown, but label them differently — Dashboard calls them "Overall Protection" and "Fleet Protection by Category"; Overview calls the same two numbers "Pass Threshold" (with a "Compliance" label in its chart) and "Filtering Effectiveness by Category." Same calculation, different names depending which page you're on. For exactly how those numbers are built, see what your fleet protection score means. For what the status badges next to each device mean, see reading your device list.

Dashboard is what you land on after logging in; Overview is the only place with a group filter. Beyond that, both are reading the same underlying data — just shaped differently for what each page shows.
