Navigating the Dashboard
The dashboard is your Judicio home. It opens every time you sign in and whenever you click the Judicio logo. From here you reach every AI tool, see your recent runs, open your projects, and keep an eye on your credit balance. This guide walks through each region so you always know where things live.
- Left sidebar — a slim rail of icons: Home plus the six AI workspaces and File Library.
- Top bar — the project selector, the Files panel toggle, Projects, Templates, notifications, the theme toggle, and your account avatar.
- Main area — the welcome header, intent chips, quick actions, the Workspaces grid, and the Recent activity + Projects band.
A button-by-button tour
The dashboard landing
When you sign in you land here. At the top, a personalized greeting — "Hello [your name], what would you like to work on today?" — sits above three rows you'll use constantly:
- Intent chips — six task-phrased shortcuts (Research case law & citations, Draft a petition or notice, Review a contract for risks, Compare documents in a matrix, Build a case timeline, Translate a judgment). Each one opens the right tool in a single click.
- Quick actions — Upload files (primary), New project, and Browse templates.
- The Workspaces grid and the activity / projects band below (covered in the next steps).
On your very first sign-in the greeting reads "Welcome to Judicio — what shall we work on first?" and the band shows a Getting started checklist (upload a file, create a project, run your first research query, draft a document, invite your team) instead of activity. Each checklist row links straight to the screen that completes it. Dismiss it any time with Dismiss.
The six AI workspaces
The Workspaces grid is the heart of the dashboard — one card for each AI tool:
- Research — case law and multi-jurisdiction citations
- Drafting — AI-drafted documents with tracked changes and templates
- Document Review — checklist-based compliance review with risk findings
- Review Matrix — structured insights across documents using question templates
- Timeline — dates, deadlines, and key events with source citations
- Translation — legal documents across languages, formatting preserved
Each card shows a short description and a green usage meter with the credits that tool consumed in the last 30 days. The section header carries an inline credit readout — how many of your credits remain, when they reset, and a Manage link to billing. Click any card to open that workspace.
File Library has no workspace tile because it's always one click away — the Files button in the top bar and the File Library icon in the sidebar. A redundant card would just clutter the grid.
Open a workspace
Clicking a workspace card — or its matching intent chip, or its sidebar icon — takes you straight into that tool's home, where you select files and describe what you want. The slim left sidebar stays visible on every screen so you can switch tools without losing your place; the active tool is highlighted.
For example, clicking Timeline opens the Timeline home — "What timeline would you like to build today?" — ready for you to pick documents and extract every date. See Getting Started with Timeline.
Recent activity
The Recent activity card lists your latest runs — a research query, a completed review, a built timeline, an upload. Each row shows:
- a status dot (green = completed, amber = partial),
- the run title and its project, and
- a relative timestamp ("38m ago", "1d ago").
Click a row to reopen that run. The All activity link at the bottom opens the full usage-and-activity log under Settings.
Your projects
The Projects card lists your matters — each row showing the project name and its file and activity counts. A project keeps everything for one matter together: its documents, every analysis run against them, and the people you've shared it with. Click a row to open the project, or View all to see the full Projects page.
See Your First Project to create one.
The top navigation bar
The bar across the top of every dashboard screen holds:
- Project selector — the pill on the left shows your current project; click it to switch projects or work outside one.
- Files — toggles the File Library panel open beside your work, so you can pick documents for any tool without leaving the page.
- Projects — opens the full Projects page.
- Templates — opens the template library used across Research, Drafting, Document Review, Review Matrix, and Timeline.
- Notifications (bell) — alerts for completed runs, team invitations, and billing.
- Theme toggle (sun) — switch between light and dark.
- Account avatar — your initials; opens account settings, billing, and sign out.
The left sidebar
The slim rail on the left is your primary navigation and stays on every page:
- Home — returns to this dashboard.
- Research, Drafting, Document Review, Review Matrix, Timeline, Translation — the six AI workspaces.
- File Library — your central document repository: every file you upload, in folders, with tags and search.
Credits are the units Judicio uses to meter AI-powered runs. Different tools consume different amounts depending on document length and depth (Deep vs Concise). Your balance and 30-day usage live in the Workspaces section header. See Credits Explained.
