# The Dashboard

The Dashboard is the Seal UI's landing surface after sign-in. It aggregates the state of every Seal Project in your tenant into a small set of summary tiles and charts, refreshed once a day. There is no per-project filter on the Dashboard itself; for project-level detail, use the [Protection page](/new-documentation/new-docs/protection-page.md).

## What's on the Dashboard

| Widget                                | What it shows                                                                                                     |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Vulnerable packages**               | Donut chart of vulnerable packages broken down by severity (critical, high, medium, low).                         |
| **Sealed packages**                   | Donut chart of sealed packages broken down by severity.                                                           |
| **Available fixes**                   | Count of vulnerable packages that have a sealed version available but have not been replaced yet.                 |
| **Estimated time saved**              | Engineering hours saved by sealed packages already deployed.                                                      |
| **Predicted time savings**            | Engineering hours that would be saved if every available fix were applied.                                        |
| **Total number of projects**          | Count of active Seal Projects in the tenant. Archived projects are excluded.                                      |
| **Vulnerable packages over time**     | Line chart of vulnerable-package counts by severity, with a range selector for the last quarter or the last year. |
| **Most critical vulnerable packages** | Top vulnerable packages ranked by maximum CVSS score. Columns: package, version, project, vulnerabilities.        |
| **Most vulnerable projects**          | Top 5 Seal Projects ranked by vulnerability severity. Columns: project, owner, vulnerabilities, last scanned.     |

## How the numbers are computed

The Dashboard is **tenant-wide aggregate**. Every Seal Project's data is rolled up into the metrics. To break the same numbers down by Seal Project, by package manager, or by team, generate a report from the [Reports Manager](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/using-the-platform/reports-manager/README.md).

The metrics are **recomputed once a day** by a scheduled job, not in real time. Activity that lands after the most recent recompute does not appear on the Dashboard until the next run.

## Empty states

* **Brand-new tenant, before any scans land.** The Dashboard displays a Welcome view with onboarding suggestions in place of the metric tiles. Once scans complete and the tenant transitions out of the onboarding state, the metric tiles take over.
* **Vulnerable packages over time, with insufficient history.** The line chart needs at least two data points to render. While the platform is still accumulating points, the chart shows "Not enough data yet."
* **Top tables, with no findings.** The Most critical vulnerable packages and Most vulnerable projects tables show empty-state messages when there are no findings to rank.

## Relationship to the ROI report

The Dashboard's **Estimated time saved** and **Predicted time savings** tiles surface the headline numbers from the same model as the **ROI report** in the Reports Manager. The two surfaces differ in shape:

* The Dashboard is a single read-only view of tenant-wide aggregates.
* The ROI report can be filtered by Seal Project and by package manager, and exported as CSV or PDF.

For executive snapshots and the at-a-glance posture, the Dashboard is the right surface. For finer-grained reporting, generate an ROI report. See [Reports Manager](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/using-the-platform/reports-manager/README.md) for the full set of report types.

## Permissions

Every authenticated user in the tenant sees the Dashboard, regardless of role. The data shown is the same for all roles.
