Enterprise Dashboard - This is your control center. This is where Captain Kirk determines the health of his ship. Shields Up?... Yes, good. No? Bad.
The Enterprise Dashboard is your key to understanding the overall risk profile of your organization. From this screen you can monitor trends, drill down into individual projects, examine how a single project or groups of projects are impacting your overall risk, and weigh these projects and groups against your organization's appetite for risk (as determined by your risk budget).
You can also access your menu bar which will allow you to create, modify, review, or import templates. You can decide who you want to have access to a project by clicking 'people' or adjust project settings through the 'settings' menu.
For a breakdown of each feature on the screen keep reading:

This is where you can navigate through your existing projects. Simply click the project on the project you're looking for or create a new one.
The Briefcase icon will take you to view your documents. If a number appears on the briefcase this indicates requested documents that need to be uploaded.
The Flag icon will reflect if there are any individual assessments or audit objectives that have been assigned to you, or alert you to any that are due within the next week.
The Calendar icon will take you to the recommendations that have been assigned to you. If a number appears it can indicate that you either have recommendation deadlines over due or coming due.
The Settings icon will allow you to change your account settings, logout, or access this super helpful help section.
Graph - This reflects individual projects' overall risk trend over time. The lower the score the better.
RDEX - Just like the graph, the lower your score here the better off you are. See "What is the RDEX score?" for more information.
Requests - Reflects the status of completed, incomplete, and overdue requests. Green indicates the number of completed requests, yellow indicates the number of incomplete requests, and red indicates the number of overdue requests.
Assessments - Reflects the status of completed, incomplete, and overdue assessments. Green indicates the number of completed assessments, yellow indicates the number of incomplete assessments, and red indicates the number of overdue assessments.
Objectives - Reflects the status of completed, incomplete, and overdue objectives. Green indicates the number of completed objectives, yellow indicates the number of incomplete objectives, and red indicates the number of overdue objectives.
Recommendations - Reflects the status of completed, incomplete, and overdue recommendations. Green indicates the number of completed requests, yellow indicates the number of incomplete recommendations, and red indicates the number of overdue recommendations.
Overall Risk - This icon qualitatively describes the overall risk of the project. (As opposed to the quantitative RDEX score).
Unaddressed Risk - Similar to "Overall Risk" this icon qualitatively describes overall significance of unaddressed risks within your organization.
Group Snapshot - This reflects the name of the group, and the number of projects grouped together. It also indicates how many items are in need of attention (this may include assessments, control objectives, and/or recommendations), as well as a snapshot of your RDEX score and budget.
