If you work behind the scenes as an Admin to set up and contribute to your organization’s website, you’ll notice that your administrative view includes an “Admin Dashboard” tab as well as a “My Dashboard” tab.
The difference between these two tabs is very simple. The “Admin Dashboard” tab displays highlights of the tasks and activities that are part of your administrative functions, and gives you at-a-glance information about your responsibilities. For example, it summarizes outstanding dues payments, itemizes forms and polls to which members are responding, identifies documents available for download, and the lists members’ most-recent website log-in dates. It also displays a visual thumbnail of the current theme and color scheme for the public view of your website. Each of the data cards, or sections of information, includes a link through which you can obtain more information or perform various administrative duties.
The “My Dashboard” tab also leads to a view based on data cards, with buttons to click for more information about each category of information. But whereas the administrative dashboard includes information about what’s pending for the organization’s entire membership, the member dashboard presents each member with a unique view of activities in which they are involved or tasks, such as dues payments, for which they are responsible.
In short, every member has a “My Dashboard,” but only members with administrative credentials have an “Admin Dashboard.”
