How do I use the Dashboard?
The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you sign in as a Core user. It gives you a quick overview of your activity and surfaces relevant opportunities.
Dashboard sections
Search bar
Run a new search or apply filters from the top of the Dashboard. Your saved searches appear as tiles directly below it.
Saved Searches
Your saved searches appear as tiles below the search bar. Click any tile to run it instantly, or click + Add New Saved Search to create a new one (up to 3 total).
Stay Informed widget
Shows projects you're currently tracking that have had recent updates -- so you can act quickly when something changes on a project you care about.
Time to Follow Up widget
Shows projects in your Interested or Quoted folders that were added more than two weeks ago. These are prompts to check in and take next steps.
Suggested Bids
Recommended projects based on the opportunities you've marked as Interested, Quoted, Won, or Lost in the Project Tracker. The more you use the Tracker, the more relevant these suggestions become. If you're new to Bid Ocean, this section will populate as you start engaging with projects.
Note: The Posting Type filter in the search bar only shows the posting types included in your subscription. If you don't see a type you expected, it may not be part of your current plan -- contact support to discuss your options.
