# Dashboard Overview

The dashboard is the command center for a selected brand. It combines brand health, user prompts, shopping prompts, sources, competitor context, and experiment status into one review surface.

## Use the dashboard as a triage page

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check the score direction">
    Look for broad changes in AI Score and the metric cards before drilling into a single prompt.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan prompts and shopping prompts">
    Find whether weak movement is coming from custom visibility prompts, shopping prompts, or both.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open sources">
    Source shifts often explain score movement. New citations, missing owned pages, or competitor-heavy sources are action signals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the drill-down">
    Move from dashboard cards into [Prompts](/tracking/prompts), [Shopping](/tracking/shopping), [Analysis](/brand-audit/analysis), or [Actions](/actions/prompts).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Time filters

The dashboard supports multiple review windows, including short-term and longer-term periods. Use short windows for fresh changes and longer windows for strategic trends.

<Tip>
  If a score looks unusual, compare the same brand in the 30-day and 90-day windows before changing content strategy.
</Tip>

## When data is still preparing

After onboarding or after adding new prompts, dashboard sections may populate in stages. This is normal: some results appear quickly, while deeper brand, shopping, or competitor views need more data before they are useful.

<Note>
  If a card is empty, first check whether the feature is included in your plan and whether you have configured the related prompts, website, or competitor. Then open the related page for the most detailed view.
</Note>
