Appearance
Dashboard
The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It gives you a quick read on what's happening today.

Your daily overview of shelter activity.
The dashboard is the home screen. Staff and admins see live operational metrics and recent activity; volunteers and fosters see a personal summary of their tasks, surveys, and favorite animals.
What you'll see
What appears here depends on your role:
- Staff and administrators see operational widgets — activity totals for the day, progress toward activity goals, and any unresolved safety alerts — plus a live feed of recent activity.
- Volunteers and fosters see a personal dashboard — their account status, their pending surveys, upcoming events, their recent activity, and their favorite animals.
You won't see widgets your role can't access; the dashboard simply hides them rather than showing an error.
Common tasks
- Check today's activity and goal progress
- See unresolved safety alerts (staff/admin)
- Open your pending surveys (volunteers)
