Dashboard & Customization

The workspace dashboard is the first thing you see when you open a workspace. It provides an at-a-glance overview of your security assessment through configurable widgets that display key metrics, charts, and data tables. Workspace owners can customize the layout to focus on the information that matters most for each engagement.

How It Works

The dashboard uses a grid-based layout where widgets can be positioned, resized, and rearranged using drag-and-drop. Each widget pulls live data from the workspace and updates automatically as you add assets, import scan results, or update vulnerability statuses.

When you first open a workspace, the dashboard loads with either:

1. A custom layout previously saved by the workspace owner, or
2. An admin-configured default layout set by your instance administrator, or
3. The built-in default layout if no custom defaults have been configured.

All team members see the same saved layout for a given workspace. Layout changes are per-workspace, so customizing one dashboard does not affect your other workspaces.

Available Widgets

Hawkra provides a library of widgets organized into four categories:

Statistic Widgets

Single-value counters that give you quick key metrics.

Widget	What It Shows
Total Assets	Total number of assets across all networks in the workspace.
Networks	Total number of networks defined in the workspace.
Unique Vulnerabilities	Count of distinct vulnerabilities linked to assets.
Total Vulnerabilities	Total vulnerability-to-asset links (a single vulnerability linked to 3 assets counts as 3).
Last Scan Import	Date of the most recent scan data import.
Compliance	Completion percentage for a selected compliance framework.

Chart Widgets

Visual representations of your data with multiple display format options.

Widget	What It Shows	Display Options
Total Assets by Type	Distribution of assets by device type (servers, workstations, network devices, etc.).	Pie, Bar, Cards
Vulnerability Status	Breakdown of vulnerabilities by status: Identified, Validated, Remediated.	Pie, Bar
Total Unique Vulnerability Summary	Unique vulnerabilities grouped by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational).	Bar, Pie, Cards
Total Vulnerability Summary	All vulnerability links grouped by severity (counts each asset/port link).	Bar, Pie, Cards
Assets by OS	Distribution of assets by operating system.	Pie, Bar
Vulnerabilities by Network	Vulnerability count broken down by network.	Bar, Pie
Top Open Ports	Most commonly seen open ports across all assets.	Bar, Bar (Top 3), Bar (Top 10), Pie, Pie (Top 3), Pie (Top 10)
Assets per Network	Number of assets in each network.	Bar, Pie, Number
Assets per VLAN	Asset count grouped by VLAN ID.	Bar, Pie
Vulns by Criticality by Network	Stacked severity breakdown of vulnerabilities per network.	Stacked Bar, Table

Table Widgets

Tabular data for detailed reference directly on the dashboard.

Widget	What It Shows
Network List	All networks in the workspace with their details.
Top Vulnerabilities by CVE	Most common vulnerabilities ranked by CVE identifier.
Audit Log	Recent audit log entries showing who did what and when.

Info Widgets

Widget	What It Shows
Workspace Details	Workspace metadata including client name, description, creation date, and last updated date.

Key Actions

Customizing the Dashboard (Owners Only)

Only workspace owners can save dashboard layout changes. Other roles can rearrange widgets temporarily for their current session, but the changes will not persist.

1. Click the Customize Overview button in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
2. A sidebar panel opens showing all available widgets, grouped by category.
3. Toggle widgets on or off by clicking them in the sidebar.
4. Drag and drop widgets on the grid to reposition them.
5. Resize widgets by dragging their edges or corners.
6. Change display format -- For widgets that support multiple display types (e.g., switching between Pie and Bar chart), use the display selector on the widget.
7. Click Save Layout to persist your changes.

Owner-Only Saves

Only workspace owners can save layout changes. If you are an Editor, Remediation Analyst, or Viewer, you can rearrange widgets to explore the data, but your changes will reset when you reload the page.

Resetting to Default

While customizing, click Reset to Default to revert the layout to the admin-configured default (or the built-in default if no admin default has been set). You will still need to click Save Layout to persist the reset.

Saving the Current Layout as the Default (Admins Only)

Instance administrators can save the current workspace layout as the default for all new workspaces. This is useful for standardizing dashboard views across your organization. Click the Save as Default button that appears in the customization sidebar when you are logged in as an admin.

Tips and Notes

Widget Display Formats

Many chart widgets support multiple display formats. For example, the Vulnerability Summary widget can be shown as a bar chart, pie chart, or summary cards. Experiment with different formats to find what communicates most clearly for your audience -- bar charts work well for comparing categories, while pie charts are better for showing proportions.

• Layout is per-workspace -- Each workspace has its own saved layout. Customizing the dashboard for one assessment does not affect others.
• All members see the same layout -- The saved layout is shared across all workspace members. There are no per-user layout overrides.
• Widgets update in real time -- As you add or modify data in the workspace, widget values update automatically without needing to refresh the page.
• Minimum sizes -- Each widget has a minimum size to ensure its content remains readable. The grid will not allow you to shrink a widget below its minimum dimensions.
