# Dashboard

The Dashboard is the administrator's starting point for a quick view of the portal. It helps you spot activity or follow-up work before you open a more specific User, User group, Assignment, Exam or Attempt.

### Information shown

| Dashboard area        | What it helps you understand                                     |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Total users           | The current size of the portal's account population.             |
| New users             | Recent registration or account-creation activity.                |
| Sessions and activity | Whether and when people have recently used the portal.           |
| Question flags        | Questions students have reported for an administrator to review. |
| Trend charts          | Changes in selected portal activity over time.                   |

Use the Dashboard to decide where to look next. For example, a rise in question flags should lead to the flagged questions and their attempts; it is not itself a conclusion about content quality.

{% hint style="info" %}
Dashboard figures are a high-level operational snapshot. For a decision about one student, cohort or assessment, open the relevant User, User group, Assignment, Exam or Quiz and review its detailed records.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://synap.ac/docs/platform/portal/dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
