# Use the Dashboard

The dashboard is the landing page of the **Automate** section. Use it to get an at-a-glance view of automation activity across all workspaces you can access.

## Status Cards

The dashboard shows a row of cards that count automations and runs across the workspaces you can access:

| Card            | Shows                                                                   |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Published**   | Automations that are currently published.                               |
| **Draft**       | Automations that have unpublished changes or have never been published. |
| **Inactive**    | Automations that have been explicitly disabled.                         |
| **Failed Runs** | Recent runs that ended in the Failed state.                             |
| **In Progress** | Recent runs that are still Running or Suspended.                        |

## Recent Activity

Below the cards, the **Recent Activity** list shows the most recent runs across all your workspaces. Each entry shows the automation name, the run status, and when the run started. Click an entry to open the run detail view.

## First-Run Welcome

When you open Automate for the first time and no automations exist, the dashboard shows a welcome panel that links straight to creating a workspace.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-automate/18.latest/backoffice/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.
