If you have only one space, you see a new layout on your user/start page.  This new layout simplifies navigation by moving links and information onto the start page.  About half of all Assembla users are team members who are invited to one space.  When you join a second space, your start page will go back to the list of projects, and you will need to click on a space name to see the tools.

On top, you have direct links to the tools in the space.  Underneath, you will see “modules” that depend on the tools installed in your workspace.

Static Modules:

Stream: From the Stream module, you can view project activity, in real-time, so you always know what is being worked on.

Project Owners: Shows who “owns” a project and also provides one-click access to the Team tab to view all team members. Owners of a project also have on-click access to add new team members from the dashboard.

Tool Modules (vary based on the tools installed in your space):

My Followed Tickets: A list of tickets that are assigned to you, and other tickets that you follow. An orange star next to a ticket represents a ticket that is assigned to you and a yellow star next to a ticket represents a ticket you follow but not assigned to you.  Follow and unfollow tickets by clicking the star.

StandUp:  If Standup is your default landing page (Free Standup configuration) you can update/edit your daily StandUp report from your dashboard. Click “StandUp reports” link to view the StandUp tab of your space to read through other team members reports.

Commits: If you have a code repository installed in your space, you can get an at-a-glance view of the number of commits for the current week and the previous week. Click on the “Browse code” link to go to the code browser of your repository.

Wiki: The Home page of your wiki is displayed on the dashboard to provide important information about the project such as relevant links, processes, and other documentation.  You can use a Wiki home page as an easy way to introduce new team members to a project.

Future:

If you participate in a second space, you will go back to the view with a list of spaces.  We are seeking advice on enhancements.  For example, if people like the one-space view, we can put panels under each space to show the dashboard. We will continue to refine the panels on the dashboard.
