The Dashboard allows you to see and follow projects that are important to you and see the progress at a glance.
It also provides overall statistics on the amount of projects, amount of completed projects and amount of overall completed tasks.
Additionally, it also displays a list of all the tasks assigned to you that are due for that week as well as your overdue tasks.
You can add projects to the dashboard by going to the Projects page and clicking on the menu button on the top-right of the project you would like to add to the Dashboard. Select the option Add to Dashboard
