Understand Allo Dashboard

The Allo Dashboard provides customizable widgets that allow you to gather and organize important information for yourself or your team.

My Dashboard is personalized for each workspace member to customize important information and metrics to manage and track.

In contrast, the Company dashboard is managed exclusively by workspace admins who have the ability to control which widgets are displayed and how they are arranged. It is presented uniformly to all workspace members, so any modifications made by admins will be visible to everyone.

In this article, you'll learn about each widget in Allo and how to customize them to meet your specific needs.

The Activity Feed widget

The Activity Feed widget keeps you up-to-date on your colleagues' work in real time. It displays all activities from the integrated tools by default, but you can filter them based on specific apps, people, teams, or resources to see the information you need.

The Chart widget

With the Chart widget in Allo, you can easily keep an eye on important metrics from various tools you use. Simply select the desired app and choose the metric you want to track. You can also customize the chart type to visualize your data in the most effective way.

The Pinboard widget 

The Pinboard widget allows you to centralize all your essential files, links, projects, and canvases in one location. Simply click the Upload icon to upload any local files you have, connect to an Allo Project or Canvas, or create URL shortcuts for quick access. 

The Schedule widget

The Schedule widget allows you to stay on top of your busy schedule by keeping track of all your meetings and events for the day. You can select calendars from Allo, as well as any Google Calendars you've connected with Allo, so that all your appointments are in one place.

The To-Do widget

The To-Do widget is an easy-to-use tool for managing your personal tasks and priorities. Create a list of tasks and check the box to mark them as completed as you finish them.
