Hey, I agree with @Chr1sG on this one. My team naturally gravitates to the “App” element on the left menu as this is a highly intuitive navigation that is a fundamental for just about all productivity apps. The concept of “Folder” or “Space” or “Project” or “Tag” etc. etc. is practically universal and very expected I think. Having a big area reserved for the app on the left menu, but then forcing the user to dig in the hierarchy to find a doc or some other element to overview the App is not a natural navigation.

What’s more, the App “home area,” part of what I intended with this post, is about the closest thing right now that resembles a Dashboard in Fibery. There’s been a lot of talk by colleagues @Oshyan and Chris as well about a “home” segment of Fibery you could start out with when you log in, and return to frequently.

All these requests deal with the same issue.

> Yes, I move forward I can see a need for some dashboard-type views across Fibery. Some points: Ability to see a high-level view of multiple entities across several apps Some roadmapping-type views Progress Bar in the case of entities that are children of each other, when setting up Projects and tasks, etc. Thanks!

Oh and PS, this thread is a great illustration of how the community software, Discourse, shows references to @mentions when they occur to other threads here in the Fibery community. Cannot wait to see Highlights and can’t say enough how excited I was to see it on your guys’ twitter as something plann…

> Hi Guys, @mdubakov would love to get your take on whether you guys might think about some view like this as a way to bring some more usability into Fibery for viewing an App Hierarchy? What I’m suggesting here is allow one of the areas in the App Home area, perhaps a new one called "App Dashboard, where you could display an existing hierarchy with much more detail from the one we have no in the left menu: I think a great implementation would be similar t…

> Hi again Guys, I have been struggling with getting a view where I can see in a board all of what’s assigned to each of my team members across all of Fibery. You might call this a typical “Team Dashboard.” Would you be willing to post how to do this, perhaps in an upcoming Product Video (70’s themed? haha). The Assignee extension is one that has been challenging for me as it seems to have special treatment. I also notice that when creating apps, the “user” tag shows up on entities that have …

If you guys have some plans around a homepage/dashboard I for one would love to hear it, as for now as closely as I study your twitter, this community, your reddit, blog, etc. I don’t see much discussion of one. That’s one of the reason for all my requests. I will also say that what @mdubakov and team in TargetProcess have to solve this is one of the best solutions I’ve seen on the market. So would love any insight as to whether there are plans to go in that direction.

So in summing up, if there are other plans for some kind of comprehensive Dashboards that go beyond the existing App “homepage” we have now that is where you configure the App, but nothing more, than that would surely satisfy my request. But absent of any info as to your guys’ plans, I am only able to make requests based around known elements of Fibery. The existing App “homepage” is one of them.

I hope that’s useful and keep up the great work!
