Understanding the Dashboard in KC Skills

Summary

The Dashboard is the landing page of KC Skills. It carries four summary tiles, a Campaign Progress section, and a Recent Activity feed, so you can see the state of your program the moment you sign in.

Introduction

The Dashboard is deliberately a summary rather than a report. It answers three quick questions: how many campaigns are running, how far participants have got, and what has changed lately. When you need detail, you open the campaign or the learner profile behind the number.

It is the first screen administrators and program owners see. If your organization is new to KC Skills, the Dashboard also points you at the setup step you need before anything else will work.

Key Concepts

  • Active Campaigns: How many campaigns are currently running.
  • Total Enrolled: How many participants are enrolled across those campaigns.
  • Completion Rate: The share of enrolled participants who have completed what was assigned to them.
  • Assessments Built: How many assessment definitions exist in your account, whether or not a campaign uses them.
  • Campaign Progress: A per-campaign breakdown of how far each one has moved through its phases.
  • Recent Activity: A time-ordered feed of what has happened lately, with relative timestamps.

Steps to Follow

Accessing the Dashboard

Sign in to KC Skills. You land on the Dashboard, which greets you with Welcome back and loads your organization's summary automatically. You can return to it at any time from the left sidebar.

Step 1: Set up your skill tree first, if you have not already

If your account has no skills yet, the Dashboard tells you that before creating campaigns you should set up your skill tree to define the competencies you want to assess.

Do this first. Assessments select their skills from the tree, so nothing else in KC Skills can be built until it exists.

Step 2: Read the four summary tiles

Across the top you get four counts:

  • Active Campaigns
  • Total Enrolled
  • Completion Rate
  • Assessments Built

Read them together rather than individually. A high enrollment with a low completion rate points at participation, while a healthy completion rate on very few active campaigns points at coverage instead.

Note: These tiles are counts and a percentage. They do not indicate system status, and there is no health indicator on this page. If a number looks wrong, open the campaign behind it rather than treating it as a fault.

Step 3: Check Campaign Progress

Campaign Progress breaks the picture down per campaign, showing how far each one has moved through Assessment, Training, and Reassessment.

This is where you spot the campaign that has stalled. A campaign sitting at the assessment stage well past its due date is the usual reason a completion rate is lower than you expected.

Note: If you have no campaigns yet, this section tells you so instead of showing an empty chart.

Step 4: Scan Recent Activity

Recent Activity lists what has happened lately, stamped with relative times such as just now, minutes ago, today, or yesterday.

Use it as a change log. It is the quickest way to confirm that an action you took, or one a colleague took, actually registered. When nothing has happened yet it reads No recent activity yet.

Step 5: Decide where to go next

The Dashboard is a starting point, not a destination. From what you see here:

  • A low Completion Rate or a stalled campaign sends you to Campaigns to check dates and participants.
  • A question about one person sends you to Users Skill Profile.
  • No campaigns and no assessments send you to Skill Tree, then Assessments, to build the foundations.

Conclusion

The Dashboard gives you four counts, per-campaign progress, and a recent activity feed on one screen. Treat it as a triage view. Read the tiles together, use Campaign Progress to find the campaign that needs attention, then open that campaign or learner profile for the detail behind a number.
