The CyberGrants Dashboard tab features a suite of Productivity Portlets that enable users to streamline their workflow, quickly access and manage pending approvals and requests, monitor overdue impact reports, and gain visibility into their available budget resources, all within a centralized and secure interface.

This portlet displays a list of requests owned by the current user that have not reached a final disposition. The requests from this portlet equate to a search performed from the Main tab with the filters of "My Requests", "Requests I own", and "Request Disposition" of "External" or "Pending". Users can click on the Project title to be taken directly to the Request within CyberGrants.

Step 6: Utilize the My Overdue Impact Reports Portlet
This portlet lists all requests owned by the current user that have overdue, required impact reports. Users can click directly on the Project Title to be taken to the Request within CyberGrants.

Step 7: Access the Available Budget (gauge, cylinder) Portlet
This portlet allows users to view their available budget by leveraging filters for year and budget line items while incorporating budget security controls in the view of a gauge or cylinder chart.
