WVU+kc Dashboard

The menu bar at the top of the WVU+kc dashboard provides easy access to the various research activities conducted within WVU+kc. You can create and search for documents and run reports for each activity via drop-down menus. 

Adjust the menu bar for your screen resolution

If using a large computer monitor, the menu bar will run horizontally across the top of your dashboard. If working on a small monitor or tablet, the menu bar may display as 3 horizontal lines known as a hamburger menu. You can adjust the size of your display by holding the Ctrl key and pressing the minus key (-). Continue clicking the minus key until your display has resized to show the menu bar across your dashboard. If you prefer the hamburger menu display, you can adjust your screen size by clicking Ctrl and the plus key (+) until the full menu bar disappears.

Quicklinks

Quicklinks provides links to resources outside of WVU+kc that you may need to access while working within the system such as OSP pre-award information, internal grants assistance and the CITI training website. This menu is always accessible when working in WVU+kc and will open the link to the outside resource in a new browser tab.

News Feed alerts

The News Feed section of the WVU+kc dashboard will display any alerts requesting you to act. 

There are three ways you can manage these alerts from the action section: 

1. You can mark the notification as read using the green check button. That will unbold the message but keep it in your News Feed. 

2. The trash can will delete the alert from your News Feed. If you accidentally delete the item, you will be able to undo the delete until the page refreshes and removes the item permanently from your News Feed. 

3. The blue arrow will take you directly to the document requiring your attention.

View your research activity

The new dashboard should alleviate the need to search for the research activity with which you are associated by protocol, proposal or award number. The lists section at the bottom of the dashboard is comprised of pre-populated searches that automatically display your research activity based on module and status. You can locate your activity and open them via the lists section. If you would like to manually search for a particular protocol, proposal or award, the search functions are still available and can be accessed via the menu bar at the top. Navigate to the type of document you would like to search for (e.g., proposal, award or IRB), hover over the menu item and select the search option from the drop-down menu.
