Dashboard
Overview
Dashboards in Learn Amp are flexible, widget-based boards that combine reports and action-driving content into a personalised experience. They serve as the central hub for learners, managers, and administrators—each seeing content tailored to their role and needs.
With Dashboards, you can surface the right information at the right time: from upcoming Tasks and Events to engagement metrics and completion reports. Create multiple Dashboards for different purposes and assign them to specific user roles.
Functionality Breakdown
Dashboards work through a collection of widgets that fall into two main categories:
Activity-driving widgets encourage engagement and action:
Upcoming Tasks and Events
Quick Search bar
Assigned and Visible Channels
To-do lists
Bookmarked content
Reflective widgets provide insights on past activity:
Completion reports
Session data
Most popular content
Engagement metrics
Key Capabilities
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Multiple Dashboards | Create as many Dashboards as needed—one for learning, one for reporting, one for each role |
Role-based visibility | Assign Dashboards to specific roles (Learner, Curator, Reporter, etc.) |
Default Dashboard | Set which Dashboard appears first for each role |
Personalised content | Some widgets show company-wide data, others are personalised to each user |
Manager Dashboards | Optionally allow managers to create their own Dashboards for their direct reports |
How Widgets Display Content
Widgets behave differently depending on their type:
Fixed widgets show the same data to everyone (e.g., company-wide session counts)
Personalised widgets show user-specific content (e.g., "Assigned Channels" displays only that user's assigned Channels)
This combination creates an experience that feels both connected to the business and individually relevant.
Pre-requisites
To create and manage company-wide Dashboards, you need administrative access and a clear understanding of which widgets will best serve each user role.
💡 Tip: Consider what each role needs most—learners benefit from activity-driving widgets, while reporters may prefer data-focused widgets.

FAQs
Q: Can I have multiple Dashboards?
Yes! You can create as many Dashboards as you need. Common setups include separate Dashboards for Learn, Connect, and Perform functionality, or different Dashboards for activity tracking versus reporting.
Q: Who can create Dashboards?
Only Owners and Admins can create company-wide Dashboards. Managers can create personal Dashboards for their teams if this feature is enabled.
Q: Can managers set up their own Dashboards?
Yes, if enabled by an Owner or Admin. Managers create their own Dashboards individually (admins cannot create a standard "manager Dashboard" centrally). Each manager's Dashboard only shows data for their direct reports.
Q: Why can't I see assigned Channels in my To-do list?
Channels don't appear in the To-do widget. To display assigned Channels, add the Assigned Channels widget to your Dashboard. Once a Channel Task is completed, it moves from the Assigned Channels widget to the Visible Channels widget.
Q: Does the 'Assigned to' widget show completed content?
No—the Assigned to widget only displays content that hasn't been completed yet.
Q: Does 'Pick Up Where You Left Off' show content by most recently viewed?
No—this widget shows content by most recently started, not most recently viewed. It displays items the user has started but not completed.
Q: How often do widgets update?
For BI tool widgets: Once daily. For in-app widgets: Real time with no latency.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
Dashboard not visible to users | Check the Dashboard visibility settings and ensure the correct roles are selected |
Manager can't create Dashboard | Verify Manager Dashboards are enabled in Settings → Dashboards → Options |
Widget showing wrong data | Confirm the widget settings, especially any team or date filters applied |
Assigned Channels not appearing | Use the Assigned Channels widget, not the To-do list widget |
User sees wrong default Dashboard | Check which Dashboard is set as default for their role |
Manager sees no data | Confirm the manager has direct reports assigned in the system |
