# Dashboard overview
> Understand the vCore home page, including header icons, KPI tiles, and quick access panels
The vCore home page is your starting point each time you log in. It provides KPI tiles for at-a-glance monitoring, quick access panels for common tasks, and header icons that give you shortcuts to messages, new incidents, and performance indicators from anywhere in the system.
Your organisation's name is displayed in the top-left corner. Clicking it from any page returns you to the home page and refreshes the data.
## Header icons
The top-right corner of the header contains several icons that are available on every page in vCore:
| Icon | What it does |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Information** (i) | Opens the Visualcare Support Centre landing page, where you can search or browse the guides for help with system functionality |
| **KPI dial** | Opens the key performance indicators panel from anywhere in vCore, not just the home page |
| **Exclamation mark** (!) | Shows new incidents. Click to see incidents that have been submitted and not yet actioned |
| **Speech bubble** | Alerts you to new messages from workers (sent via the vWorker app) or clients (sent via the vAboutMe app). Click to open and reply to messages |
## KPI tiles
The home page displays KPI tiles that summarise activity across your organisation. Each tile shows a count that updates as new data comes in. Click a tile to drill into the detail.
Key KPI tiles include:
| Tile | What it shows |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Incidents** | Unread incident submissions. See [Incident tile on home page](/incidents/incident-tile-on-home-page) |
| **App Notes** | Unread notes submitted from the vWorker app. The count decreases as notes are marked as read |
| **Worker Compliance** | Number of expired worker compliance items |
| **Client Compliance** | Number of expired client compliance items |
Check the KPI tiles at the start of each day to stay on top of new incidents, unread notes, and expiring compliance items.
## Quick access panels
Below the KPI tiles, the home page includes several quick access panels:
* **Search** for workers, clients, or client rosters directly from the home page
* **Shift map** showing today's shift locations on a map, colour-coded by status (not started, completed, not finished). Hover over a pin to see shift details
* **Tasks** assigned to you or your team
* **Unallocated shifts** that still need a worker assigned
* **Running shifts** currently in progress
* **Shift information** summary for the day
See [Dashboard layout](/getting-started/dashboard-layout) for more detail on these panels.
