Dashboard
The AKOS home screen — live KPI stats, activity feed, and quick-access cards for every major feature.
The Dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It gives you a real-time overview of what is happening in your workspace.
Layout
The dashboard is divided into four rows:
- Hero — workspace name, sidecar / runtime status, and a run-mode toggle (live vs paused).
- Stats grid — key numbers (active agents, flows run today, open inbox tasks, cost this period).
- Next actions — a short checklist of setup steps that still need to be completed.
- Hub grid — independent cards for each operational area (see below).
- Metrics charts — aggregate time-series charts for runs, cost, and token usage.
- Activity feed — a live stream of events from the current session. You can pause the feed or clear it.
Hub cards
Each card in the hub grid shows a live summary. Click any card header or its embedded button to navigate to the full screen.
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Orchestration | Recent runs with status badges; links to the Runs screen. |
| Cost summary | Spend this period, budget usage, and a trend indicator. |
| Inbox approvals | Count of open human-in-the-loop tasks awaiting your decision. |
| Active flows | Flows currently running or paused, with run counts. |
| Triggers | Live cron and file-watch triggers with their next-fire times. |
| Agents | Count of registered agents by lifecycle state (draft/active/retired). |
| Governance posture | Current security mode — sandbox, egress rules, firewall, RBAC, audit. |
| Integrations | Connected external providers; links to the Connections screen. |
Activity feed
The activity feed at the bottom of the dashboard is a live event stream, styled like a terminal, that shows system events as they happen. Each line includes a timestamp, event type, and a short description. New events append at the bottom in real time as runs progress, agents act, and triggers fire. Click any run event to jump to that run's detail in the Runs screen.
To pause or resume the stream, click the Pause / Resume toggle above the feed. To clear the current session's events, click Clear.
Knowing when something is running
You don't have to stay on the dashboard to see that work is in progress. While any run is in flight, AKOS surfaces it everywhere in the app:
- Top-bar indicator — a pulsing pill in the app toolbar shows the number of active runs. Click it to jump straight to the Activity (Runs) screen. It disappears when everything is idle.
- Sidebar badge — the Activity nav item shows a live count of in-flight runs, and both Activity and Workflows pulse while runs are executing.
- Toasts — important outcomes (a run finishing, an approval needed, an export ready) raise a brief app notification.
All of these read the same live source, so the count is always consistent no matter where you look. See Runs & Observability for the per-run detail.
