Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.medcrypt.com/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started/understand-your-dashboard.md). # Understand your dashboard The **Dashboard** is the home page for the selected device. It shows what needs your attention now, such as open questions, threats to review and documents worth uploading, and links you to the page where you can act on each one. ## Before you begin * Select a device. The dashboard always shows one device's results. See [Find your way around MSI](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started.md#switch-organization-workspace-or-device). * If you've just created the device, wait for processing to finish. Until the device's knowledge base is built, the dashboard shows the processing steps instead of the cards below. See [Create your first device](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started/create-your-first-device.md#if-your-device-is-still-processing). ## Open the dashboard In the sidebar, select **Dashboard**. ## Cards you see by default The dashboard is made of cards. These five are shown until you change the layout. ### Quick Actions Starts the main analyses for a device: | Card | Button | What it does | | -------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **FDA eSTAR Readiness** | **Start Checklist** | Prepare for an FDA 510(k) or De Novo submission. | | **Regulatory Audit** | **Run Audit** | Identify design and implementation gaps in your submission documents. | | **Threat Model** | **Start Threat Model** | Identify assets, threats and controls from your device architecture. | | **Cybersecurity Maturity** | **Start Assessment** | Evaluate the security maturity of a device or portfolio. | An action marked **Pro** isn't included in your organization's plan, and its button is unavailable. ### Guided Questions Shows the device's open guided questions one at a time. These are things MSI couldn't settle from your documents. Use the arrows to move between questions, and answer them right on the card. Select **View All Questions** to open the full list. See [Answer guided questions](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started/answer-guided-questions.md). If you see **No questions generated yet**, run an activity (such as a threat model) to generate them. ### Quick Upload Lists documents MSI recommends you upload next to assess the device more thoroughly. Choose a collection under **Upload to:** and add the files. Select **View All Collections** to open **Documents**. ### Risk Register A compact view of the device's threats, with two tabs: * **Threats:** steps through threats waiting for review, grouped the same way as in the register. Each threat shows its review state, and you can assign it to a teammate from the card. When nothing is left, the card shows **All threats reviewed.** * **Controls:** suggested security controls waiting for review. Accepting a control applies it to the threats it covers. Select **View Register** to open the full **Risk Register**. See [Triage risks in the Risk Register](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/review-your-threat-model/triage-risks-in-the-risk-register.md). The Risk Register requires Threat Modeling on your organization's plan. ## Add, remove or reorder cards 1. On the dashboard, select **Customize Dashboard** in the page header. 2. Turn each card on or off, and drag cards to reorder them. 3. Select **Close**. MSI saves your layout. If you hide every card, the dashboard shows **No cards visible** with a **Customize Dashboard** button to bring them back. ## Other cards you can add | Card | What it shows | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Readiness Status** | The device's overall readiness rating and what contributes to it. | | **Industry Benchmark** | The device's maturity score compared with industry peers: the median and the top and bottom quartiles. | | **Action Queue** | Open items for the device, ranked by severity. | | **Deadlines** | Upcoming deadlines, grouped from **Past due** and **Due soon** through **Later**. | | **Recent Activity** | What has changed on the device recently. Select an event to go to it. | | **Artifacts** | Counts of the device's **Assessments**, **Threat models**, **Regulatory audits**, **Document collections** and **Open findings**. Select a count to open that page. | | **eSTAR Readiness**, **FDA Audit**, **Maturity Assessment**, **Threat Model** | A summary of that activity's results for the device. A card marked **Pro** is for an activity that isn't on your plan. | | **Pen Test Import** | Findings extracted from an imported penetration test report. See [Compare your threat model with pentest or scanner findings](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/review-your-threat-model/compare-with-pentest-or-scanner-findings.md). | | **My Work** | Your open assignments, with the device each one belongs to. See [Assign work and track My Work](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/assign-work-and-track-my-work.md). | ## Next steps * [Answer guided questions](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started/answer-guided-questions.md): the quickest way to improve your threat model. * [Triage risks in the Risk Register](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/review-your-threat-model/triage-risks-in-the-risk-register.md): review and approve the threats MSI found. * [Ask MSI a question](/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started/ask-msi.md): ask about anything on the dashboard. --- # 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 by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.medcrypt.com/medcrypt-documentation/msi/get-started/understand-your-dashboard.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. 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.
