Using the Dashboard

The contact dashboard lists all the publications for which you are listed as a contact in one place.

You can filter the publications using the drop down box in the upper left to limit what appears by sunset status, and you can click on the column headers for DLN, Status, and Department to sort the records by those columns.

Records are color coded:

No color indicates publications that do not need your attention.
Green are in process, either you or another contact has recorded “working on it” or has reviewed it or uploaded a revision and it is not yet published.
Yellow publications are sunsetting, and
Red are past sunset

Archived publications have been moved to My Archived Publications

For each publication record, moving from left to right:
