Your Dashboard

For: All users | Tier: All plans

The dashboard is the first screen you see when you sign in to Tellus. It gives you a real-time snapshot of your compliance program — key metrics, active alerts, recent activity, and quick links to the modules you use most.

What you see on the dashboard depends on two things: your role and the site you have selected.

Site-Scoped Dashboard​

The dashboard is site-aware. When you select a site from the site selector in the header, every section of the dashboard — Overview stats, Compliance Readiness, Alerts, and Recent Activity — automatically filters to show data for that site only.

The Overview heading shows your current scope:

  • "Overview -- All Sites" — You're viewing aggregate data across your entire organization
  • "Overview -- [Site Name]" — You're viewing data for a specific site

This makes it easy to check on a single facility without leaving the dashboard. Switch between sites using the site selector in the top header, or select All Sites to return to the company-wide view.

What You See by Role​

Admin View​

As an Admin, you see the full organizational picture:

  • Overview — Company-wide stats including total SDSs, training completion rate, active HazCom plans, and active users
  • Compliance Readiness — Your overall compliance score broken down by SDS coverage, training completion, and plan validity, with a link to the full Insights module
  • Attention Items — Alerts ranked by urgency (expired SDSs, overdue training, quantity threshold breaches)
  • Recent Activity — A feed of what's happening across the platform (chemicals added, training completed, plans published)
  • Quick Actions — Shortcuts to common tasks like viewing the SDS library, managing inventory, or checking the HazCom plan
  • Your Modules — Cards for every module you have access to, linking directly to each module's main screen

Employee View​

As an Employee, you see a personal view focused on your own tasks:

  • My Overview — Your personal stats including SDS documents available to you, your training assignments, overdue items, and expiring certifications
  • My Alerts — Training deadlines, certification expirations, and other items that need your attention
  • Recent Activity — Activity relevant to you
  • Quick Actions — Shortcuts to My Training, the SDS Library, your Certifications, and the HazCom Plan
  • Your Modules — Only the modules your admin has given you access to

Getting Started Experiences​

Tellus provides tailored empty states so you always know what to do next, even when your account is brand new.

New Employees Waiting for Access​

If you've just been invited to a company but your administrator hasn't assigned you a role and site yet, you'll see a banner explaining the situation:

"Your account is not yet fully set up." Contact your administrator to assign you a role and site access so you can start using the platform.

Once your admin assigns your role, sign out and sign back in to see your updated permissions and modules.

Admins with a Fresh Company​

If you're an admin and your company hasn't added any data yet, the dashboard shows a Get Started panel with guided actions to help you set up your workspace:

  • Set up your company — Configure company details and add sites
  • Add your first chemical — Start building your chemical inventory
  • Create a training course — Set up safety training for your team
  • Build your HazCom plan — Create your written hazard communication program

Each action links directly to the right place in the platform. As you complete these steps, the Get Started panel is replaced by your live compliance data.

Employees with No Pending Tasks​

If you're an employee and you have no overdue training, no expiring certifications, and no active alerts, you'll see a reassuring message:

"You're all set!" No pending tasks right now. Your alerts and activity will appear here as you use the platform.

Overview Stats​

The Overview section shows key performance indicators (KPIs) as colored stat cards. The specific cards you see depend on which modules your company has enabled and your role:

CardAdmin LabelEmployee LabelWhat It Shows
ChemIQTotal SDSsSDS DocumentsNumber of safety data sheets in your inventory
SafePathCompletion RateMy AssignmentsTraining completion percentage (admin) or your assignment count (employee)
Plan BuilderActive PlansActive PlansNumber of published HazCom plans
AdminHQActive UsersActive UsersNumber of active users in the organization
Trainings DueTrainings DueOverdueCount of overdue training assignments
Certifications—Expiring CertsCertifications expiring soon (employee only)

When you have a specific site selected, these numbers reflect only that site's data.

Compliance Readiness (Admin Only)​

Admins see a Compliance Readiness panel showing the overall compliance score as a progress bar, with breakdowns for:

  • SDS Coverage — Percentage of chemicals with a current, valid SDS
  • Training Completion — Percentage of training assignments completed on time
  • Plan Validity — Status of your HazCom plans

The score is color-coded:

  • Green (80%+) — Strong compliance posture
  • Yellow (60-79%) — Some gaps to address
  • Red (below 60%) — Urgent attention needed

Click View Insights to open the full Compliance Center with detailed drill-downs.

Alerts & Activity​

The bottom of the dashboard is split into two panels:

Alerts​

Admins see Attention Items — compliance issues across the organization. Employees see My Alerts — personal items that need their attention.

Alerts are color-coded by severity:

  • Red (Urgent) — Expired SDSs, overdue training, exceeded quantity thresholds
  • Yellow (Warning) — Approaching deadlines, certifications expiring soon
  • Blue (Info) — New items added, training completed, plans published

When there are no active alerts, you'll see a positive message: "All clear -- no alerts. Your compliance status looks great. Keep it up!"

Recent Activity​

A chronological feed of recent platform activity. Admins see company-wide activity; employees see activity relevant to them.

When there's no recent activity (for example, in a new account), you'll see: "Activity will appear here as your team uses the platform."

Quick Actions​

Quick action cards give you one-click access to the tasks you perform most often:

  • My Training — View your assigned courses (SafePath)
  • SDS Library — Search safety data sheets (ChemIQ)
  • Inventory — Manage your chemical inventory (ChemIQ)
  • HazCom Plan — View your written HazCom program (Plan Builder)
  • Certifications — View your certifications (SafePath)

Quick actions only appear for modules that are enabled on your company's plan.

Your Modules​

At the bottom of the dashboard, you'll see cards for every module available to you. Each card shows the module name and the number of features available. Click any card to go directly to that module.

Modules are filtered by your permissions — you'll only see modules your administrator has granted you access to. This ensures every user gets a clean, focused dashboard showing only what's relevant to their role.
