Dashboard Guide

Every page in the PAPI dashboard, explained with annotated screenshots. Click any section in the sidebar to jump to it.

Hub

Screenshot: Hub page — project overview with cycle state and next actions

The Hub is your project's home. It shows the current cycle number, task counts by status (in progress, in review, done), and the project's health score. The Next action section tells you exactly what to do: build the next task, review completed work, or cut a release.

Key interactions: Click a project card to enter its dashboard. The cycle progress bar shows how many tasks are done vs remaining. Health indicators flag issues like overdue strategy reviews or blocked tasks.

Tip
If you have multiple projects, each one has its own Hub. Switch between them from the project selector in the top navigation.

Board

Screenshot: Board page — task list with filters and detail panel

The Board shows every task in the project. The default view groups tasks by status: Backlog, In Cycle, In Progress, In Review, and Done. Each task card shows its title, priority, effort estimate, and module.

Filters:Filter by status, priority, module, phase, or cycle. Combine filters to narrow down to exactly what you need — e.g., “all P1 tasks in the current cycle.”

Task detail panel: Click any task to see its full specification, build report (if built), review history, and notes. The detail panel slides in from the right so you can keep the task list visible.

Tip
Tasks flow left-to-right through the cycle. Backlog → In Cycle (planned) → In Progress (building) → In Review (awaiting sign-off) → Done.

Strategy

Screenshot: Strategy page — Active Decisions with confidence levels

The Strategy page shows your project's Active Decisions — architectural and product choices tracked with confidence levels (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH). Each decision includes what was decided, why, what alternatives were considered, and when to revisit.

Strategy reviews: Completed strategy reviews appear below the Active Decisions. Each review is a deep analysis that produces recommendations and potential AD updates. Reviews run every 5 cycles.

Tip
Pay attention to confidence levels. A HIGH-confidence decision that drops to LOW after a strategy review is a signal that something fundamental has changed.

Roadmap

Screenshot: Roadmap page — phases, stages, and horizons hierarchy

The Roadmap shows the project's long-term structure. It's organized in a hierarchy: Horizons (furthest out) → Stages(milestones) → Phases (current work). Each phase can contain stages with exit criteria — a checklist that defines when the stage is done.

Navigation: Click a phase to see its stages and tasks. The breadcrumb trail shows where you are in the hierarchy. Progress bars show how many tasks in each phase are complete.

Tip
The roadmap is optional — many projects run fine with just the board. It becomes valuable when you have 20+ tasks and need to see the big picture.

Settings

Screenshot: Settings page — project cards, API keys, connection tokens

The Settings page shows your projects, account details, and connection configuration. Each project card shows its name, current cycle, and a link to the team management page.

API keys: Reveal your API key for programmatic access to the MCP server. Connection tokens link your AI tool to your PAPI project.

Tip
API keys are shown once — copy them immediately. If you lose a key, revoke it and generate a new one.

Team Management

Screenshot: Team page — members list with roles and invitation form

The Team management page (under each project's settings) shows all project members with their roles. Owners can invite new members, change roles, and revoke pending invitations.

Invitations: Enter an email address and assign a role (owner, editor, or viewer). The invitee receives an email with a secure link that expires after 7 days. Pending invitations appear in a separate list with revoke buttons.

Roles: Owners have full control. Editors can build and review. Viewers have read-only access. See the Key Concepts page for the full permission matrix.
