# Understanding Your Dashboard

Your Dashboard is where you access every Application you've been assigned to assess, track their status, and see notifications about new assignments or changes (such as a Conflict of Interest being revoked).

{% step %}

### Sign in

Log into the funding portal. If you do not have a log in, see [Creating an Account](/knowledge-base/assessor-help-guides/creating-an-account.md).\

If you have an Administrator log in for the same organisation, switch to Assessor Mode from your profile menu instead of creating a separate account.\

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check your notifications

When you're assigned an Application, you'll receive an email, and it will also appear under the **Notifications** section of your Dashboard.\

Notifications also tell you about changes to Applications you're already assessing — for example, if an Admin revokes a Conflict of Interest you declared. You can dismiss a notification once you've actioned it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Find your Applications under "My Assessments"

Under **My Assessments**, you'll see every Application assigned to you, along with its current status. Click **Assess** on any row to open it.\

### Assessment Statuses

| Status              | Definition                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pending Assessment  | An assessment has been assigned to you and is pending your action. If your round has a Decision step enabled, this is also the status you'll see before you've made that decision — see [Deciding Whether to Assess](/knowledge-base/assessor-help-guides/deciding-whether-to-assess.md). |
| Declined Assessment | You (or the Round's Decision workflow) declined to assess this Application — no further action is needed from you.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Declared Conflict   | You've declared a Conflict of Interest and are waiting for an Admin to review it.                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| Conflict Confirmed  | Your declared Conflict of Interest has been confirmed as part of the review process.                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Conflict Revoked    | You declared a Conflict of Interest and it's since been revoked by an Admin — you can now proceed with the Assessment.                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Assessing           | You've opened the Application but haven't submitted your Assessment yet. Changes save automatically.                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Assessed            | You've completed and submitted your Assessment. No further action is required.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

{% hint style="info" %}
Which of these apply depends on your organisation's Assessment Round setup — not every round uses a Decision or Conflict of Interest step.
{% endhint %}

### Filtering, Sorting, and Searching

You can narrow down a long list of Assessments using the tools above the table:

* **Search** by Application or Applicant name.
* **Filter** by Assessment Round, Funding Round, or Status.
* **Sort** by due date, application, applicant, status, or score (if your organisation shows assessment scores to Assessors).

When you no longer need a filter, click the filter icon to **Clear Filters**.\

{% hint style="info" %}
Looking for an Assessment an Admin shared with you rather than assigned to you? See [Viewing Shared Assessments](/knowledge-base/assessor-help-guides/viewing-shared-assessments.md) — these appear in a separate area of your Dashboard.
