This section covers the Space Dashboard, the central hub for space owners and members to monitor polls, events, and recent team activity within a collaborative space. It provides a real-time overview tailored for teams using shared spaces to run polls and coordinate events, with infinite-scrolling lists for seamless browsing. The dashboard integrates with your space’s polls and member actions, helping you stay updated without navigating deep menus. For adding or managing space members, see Managing Members. For creating polls to appear here, see Creating and Sharing Polls. For viewing poll results, see Viewing Results.
Overview
The Space Dashboard displays key activity across your space through intuitive tabs, each featuring an infinite list that loads more items as you scroll. Access it by selecting your space from the main navigation and clicking Dashboard in the space menu. You’ll see summaries of active polls, scheduled events, and a chronological feed of recent actions like votes, comments, or member joins. Use it to quickly spot trends, jump into polls, or track team engagement.
