Dashboard

After logging in, you are redirected to your dashboard. This is the central place on MergeBoard to see the projects and merge requests you are involved in. It displays

the projects you were most recently active in,
the merge requests you opened,
the merge requests where you are assigned as reviewer.

Tip

You can always reach the dashboard by clicking the MergeBoard icon in the top navigation bar.

To make it easy for you to find out where you should to spend your time next, MergeBoard highlights those merge requests for you, that require your attention to move forward, by adding a red actor badge.

Let’s take a look at the various information that is displayed for a merge request.
