Introducing the Usage Dashboard: 

Enhanced User Experience with the Upcoming Usage Dashboard  

One of our discussion's main highlights was the introduction of the Usage Dashboard, designed to provide crucial insights and enhance the administrative experience. Here's a sneak peek at what the dashboard will offer: 

• Plan Management: Track everything from feedback requests to plan updates and visibility. 

• User Engagement: Monitor user activities, login methods, and organisational affiliations. 

• Compliance Monitoring: Stay updated with changes to templates and funder compliance. 

• Permission and Roles: Control the number of administrators and their roles within your organisation. 

Moving Forward: 

Although we encountered a temporary hiccup with the meeting recording availability, we'll share this resource as soon as it becomes available. Moreover, your insights and feedback are crucial as we finalise the dashboard's features. Whether it's about what statistics you find most useful or how you wish to visualise them, we are all ears. 

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration. Here's to making DMPonline even more helpful for our community!
