Check for code reviews you need to act on

The purpose of the dashboard is to allow you to focus on reviews that need to be done, so that other users are not blocked. The dashboard lists the most recently modified reviews first, and shows your role in the review.

Your dashboard is available by clicking My Dashboard in the menu or by clicking the Swarm Image of the Home icon icon above the main menu.

Note

Since it is tied to the logged in user, My Dashboard is only populated if you are logged in.

  1. Log in to Swarm.
  2. If the My Dashboard page is not already displayed, click My Dashboard in the menu or click the Swarm Image of the Home icon icon above the menu.
