The home screen
Home is a launcher, not a report. Its job is to get you into a piece of work in one or two clicks, and to show you what you already have running.
Read it top to bottom: a greeting, seven task chips, three plain buttons, then whatever is waiting for you.
The chrome around this page, the rail and the top bar, is Navigating the dashboard.
The greeting and the seven chips
The greeting names you and asks a question. Normally it reads Hello and your name, over what would you like to work on today? On a first visit it reads Welcome to Judicio and your name, over What shall we work on first?
Under it sit seven chips, one per tool, each phrased as a task rather than a product name.
| Chip | Opens |
|---|---|
| Research case law & citations | Research |
| Draft a petition or notice | Drafting |
| Build arguments for a case | Case Strategy |
| Review a contract for risks | Document Review |
| Compare documents in a matrix | Review Matrix |
| Build a case timeline | Timeline |
| Translate a judgment | Translation |
Pressing a chip does not leave the page. It expands a panel directly beneath that chip, and the chip grows a chevron pointing up. Pressing it again collapses the panel; pressing a different chip moves the panel there.
What opening a chip gives you
The panel is headed with the tool's name. What sits under it depends on whether the tool starts from a question or from documents.
Research, Drafting and Case Strategy are the three that start from a question. They open with a list of example prompts written for the jurisdiction you are currently in. The heading above them names it, for example Examples for India. Your current jurisdiction, and falls back to Examples to get you started when no jurisdiction is set.
Each example is a radio card. Pick one and the primary button lights up.
| Tool | Primary button | The way in on your own terms |
|---|---|---|
| Research | Run research | Ask your own question |
| Drafting | Start draft | Describe your own document |
| Case Strategy | Build strategy | Describe your own case |
The primary button starts the run then and there, so it stays disabled until you have actually picked a prompt. Nothing is pre-selected, because a run spends credits. The second control skips the examples and opens the tool's own composer.
Document Review, Review Matrix, Timeline and Translation are the four that start from documents. They open with a line saying what to add and how many, for example Upload the case documents. Notices, orders, pleadings. Every date is extracted and cited to its source page. Up to 50 documents. Translation takes up to 10; the other three take up to 50.
With nothing attached, the panel does not offer to run anything, because these tools cannot run without documents. The two buttons are Upload documents, which opens the File Library on its upload tab, and Choose from library, which opens a picker titled Choose documents.
Once documents are attached they appear as chips you can remove one by one, and the buttons change:
| Tool | Primary button | Second button |
|---|---|---|
| Document Review | Start review | Add more documents |
| Review Matrix | Build matrix | Add more documents |
| Timeline | Build timeline | Add more documents |
| Translation | Translate | Add more documents |
The primary button here does not start anything. It carries your documents into the tool and lands you on its own start screen, where you confirm the run. At the cap, Add more documents is disabled and reads how many documents is the maximum.
Six of the seven tools have an example bank, and Translation is the exception: it has no composer, so its panel is documents only.
Sample documents
While your account still holds Judicio's sample files, the panel also offers a card naming the sample set, with a button that stages it for you: Review the sample, Compare the samples, Build the sample timeline, Translate the sample, Run research from samples, Start draft from samples or Build strategy from samples, depending on the tool. A quiet Remove sample files beside it deletes every sample after a confirmation.
Every panel also carries a quiet link at its right-hand end, named after the tool, that opens the tool's full home.
The three quick actions
Under the chips sit three plain buttons for the things that are not a tool.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Upload files | Opens the File Library on its upload tab |
| New project | Opens the create-project form |
| Browse templates | Opens the template library |
What is waiting for you
Below the quick actions sit your shared work, the Getting started checklist while it has steps left, and one card holding your recent work.
Shared with me appears only when a colleague has actually shared something with you. Each row carries the owner's avatar, the item's name, which tool it came from, who shared it, and how long ago. See Shared with me.
The work card has two columns, Recent activity on the left and Projects on the right, split by a thin line. On a narrow screen they stack, with Recent activity first. Each lists up to five rows, and there is nothing to expand or collapse.
Recent activity lists your most recent runs. Each row shows a coloured dot for the run's status, the run's name and its project, with the time on the right. A run that did not simply finish also says so in words: Running, Failed, Partial, Needs input, Stopped or Cancelled. Opening a row takes you back to the run. All activity in the header opens the full log in Usage and analytics.
Projects lists your matters with their file counts, and Judicio's sample project carries a Judicio badge. All projects opens the projects screen. See Projects.
A list appears only once it has something in it, so you never see an empty outline. Recent activity appears with your first run. Projects appears once you have a project of your own; the sample project alone does not bring it up. When only one list has rows it takes the whole card, and when neither does there is no card at all.
If a list fails to load it says so in one line, We couldn't load your recent activity. or We couldn't load your projects., with Try again beside it.
The Getting started checklist
Until you have tried the basics, a card headed Getting started sits above the work card. Its header counts your progress, for example 2 of 5 done, with a progress bar beside it.
Each step is a tile with a title, a line about what it gives you, and the action it opens.
| Step | Action | Goes to |
|---|---|---|
| Upload your first file | Upload | The File Library, on its upload tab |
| Create a project | New project | The create-project form |
| Run your first research | Research | Research |
| Draft from a template | Drafting | Drafting |
| Invite your team | Invite | Organisation settings |
The first step you have not done is outlined as the next one. Finished steps keep their place, marked with a tick and Done, and no longer link anywhere. The card keeps up as you go: finish an upload, or come back to the tab after working elsewhere, and it updates without a reload. Once every step is done, the card goes away by itself.
The steps you get are decided for you: Invite your team only appears where inviting anyone is actually possible, so a personal account sees a shorter list, and the count covers what it shows you.
Dismiss in the header hides the card. To bring it back while it still has steps left, choose Show getting started in your account menu.
Your first visit looks different
On a first visit the greeting welcomes you, the Research chip opens already expanded so there is something runnable on screen from the first frame, and a welcome dialog offers the tour. See Getting help.
The rest of the page keeps its shape. There are no empty cards to fill: if you already have a project, Projects shows it as a single row across the whole card, and Recent activity joins it after your first run.
