Dashboard overview Navigate Eigent's Home dashboard and manage Spaces, Projects, Tasks, and Triggers. grid-2

The Home dashboard is the management surface for work across Eigent. Use it to find active work, review history, organize projects, and manage automations without opening each project first.

Open the dashboard

  1. Open Eigent.
  2. In the main navigation, select Home.
  3. Select Spaces, Projects, Tasks, or Triggers.

The active section appears in the URL, so returning to the same link restores that section.

Screenshot placeholder: Add a full-width screenshot of the Home dashboard with the four section tabs and toolbar visible. Use sample data that does not contain customer information.

Dashboard sections

Spaces

Spaces are top-level work areas. A Space can use an Eigent-managed scratch folder or connect directly to a local folder. Each Space contains projects, tasks, files, and triggers.

Projects

Projects group related tasks and follow-up runs. Open a project to continue its conversation, review files, or inspect agent activity.

Tasks

Tasks provide a cross-project history of requests. Use this view when you know the prompt or task status but not the containing project.

Triggers

Triggers run project prompts on a schedule, through a webhook, or from a supported application event.

Use the toolbar

The toolbar changes the active dashboard section without changing how its items are managed.

Control Purpose
Search Filters the active section by name or prompt
Sort Sorts by created time, updated time, or name
Grid Shows visual cards with key metadata
List Shows compact rows for scanning many items
Board Groups items into status columns
Create Starts a blank Space or a Space connected to a local folder

Search and sort reset when you move to another section. The selected layout persists for future visits.

Understand board status

Board view organizes work into three operational groups:

  • Default: Work that is not currently executing or waiting for review.
  • Running: Work with an active task or execution.
  • Awaiting review: Work that needs user input or a decision.

The exact status of a card still appears in its metadata.

Start new work

  1. In the Home toolbar, open the create menu.
  2. Choose Start from scratch for an Eigent-managed workspace, or Use local folder to connect existing files.
  3. Eigent opens the new Space in the Workspace.
  4. Enter a task, select Single Agent or Workforce mode, and send the request.

Video placeholder: Add a short MP4 showing a user creating a Space, starting a task, and returning to the dashboard to find the new Project and Task. Include captions.

Manage existing work

Cards and rows expose actions appropriate to their type:

  • Rename or delete a project.
  • Open, share, or delete a task.
  • Pause or resume an ongoing task.
  • Edit, enable, disable, or delete a trigger.
  • Open a Space and continue work in its Workspace.

Next steps

Learn how Spaces define file and project boundaries. Manage persistent project workstreams. Find work and choose the best dashboard layout.
