Home Page

The home page of the dashboard in Bridgit provides an at-a-glance view of key workforce metrics when you log in. It displays core statistics about your workforce, unfilled roles, and the status of your projects to help you quickly assess your organization's current state and jump into action.

The dashboard includes five key metrics that link directly to detailed views: utilization rate, people on the bench, unfilled roles, roles for hire, and expiring certifications. Two visual charts - Project Breakdown and Unfilled Roles - which provide additional context about your projects and workforce needs.

Eligibility/Prerequisites

Access to the Dashboard Home Page depends on your permissions and enabled modules:

• Profile type permissions: If you only have permission to view one profile type (salaried or hourly), you'll only see data for that type

• Module requirements: stats only appear if the corresponding module is enabled in your account:

  • Utilization rate requires salaried profiles module

  • Roles for hire requires roles for hire module

  • Expiring certifications requires certifications module
