# Controls Dashboard

> Get a high-level view of all controls across your organisation, spot overdue items, and drill into trends.

## Overview

The Controls Dashboard gives you a snapshot of how your controls are performing across the organisation. Use it to quickly identify overdue controls, spot RAG status trends, and understand which areas need attention — without having to open individual control records.

You can reach this page by clicking **Controls** in the sidebar.

## How to use it

### Status tiles

The coloured tiles at the top show key metrics at a glance:

* **Total Controls** — the total number of controls across all entities
* **Overdue** — controls past their review date that need immediate attention
* **Red or Amber** — controls rated as underperforming or at risk
* **Green** — controls operating effectively
* **Needs Attention** — controls flagged for follow-up

Click any tile to filter the view below to just those controls.

### Dashboard tabs

Use the tabs to change how controls are grouped:

* **Overview** — the default summary with status tiles and a trend graph
* **By Owner** — see how controls are distributed across owners, useful for workload balancing
* **By Entity** — break down control status by legal entity or business unit
* **Control Trends** — view how control ratings have changed over time
* **Team View** — see control performance grouped by team

### Controls Graph

The bar chart shows control status over time. Use the toggle to switch between **Monthly** and **Quarterly** views. The dropdown filters let you narrow by Control Type, Business Unit, Team, and Entity.

### Controls in detail

The table at the bottom lists individual controls with their Title, Owner, Type, and Next Review date. Click any row to open that control's full record.

## Tips & Tricks

<Tip>
  Start your day on the **Overview** tab — if the Overdue count is climbing, switch to **By Owner** to see who needs support.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Use the **Control Trends** tab before board reporting to show improvement over time. The trend graph makes a strong visual for committee packs.

<Tip>
  The graph filters remember your selection within your session. If the graph looks unexpected, check that the filters haven't been narrowed from a previous view.
