Workboard

The Workboard is the default home screen in the IAS Console. It gives you a real-time, at-a-glance view of everything happening across your workspace: what is blocked and needs your input, what agents are actively running, and what has been completed recently. Think of it as your daily operations dashboard -- the starting point for every check-in.

The Three Panels

The Workboard is organized into three vertical panels, each serving a distinct purpose. The panels load independently, so a slow query in one panel never blocks the others.

Needs You

The Needs You panel is your action queue. It surfaces every item that requires human attention, ordered by priority:

• Decision requests -- questions from agents that need your input. Blocking decision requests (those stalling agent work) appear at the top. Click any request to open a detail slide-over where you can read context and respond, or navigate to the full Inbox for deeper triage.
• Blocked jobs -- tasks that cannot proceed because a prerequisite is missing or an error has occurred. Each blocked job includes a cached resolution artifact with AI-generated suggestions and universal actions (Retry, Snooze, View full details).
• Failed jobs -- tasks that encountered an error during execution. Like blocked jobs, these include resolution suggestions and one-click retry.
• Goal proposals -- suggested goals waiting for your approval.

Items can optionally be grouped by repository using the toggle icon in the panel header. The panel header also shows a count badge so you can quickly see how many items need attention.

Live Execution

The Live Execution panel shows what agents are actively doing right now:

• Running jobs -- tasks currently being executed, each displaying the task type, target repository, associated goal, and a live timer showing how long it has been running.
• Queued work -- tasks waiting to start, including their queue position.
• Setup pending -- repositories that need initial setup before agents can operate.

This gives you real-time visibility into agent activity without checking individual repos or terminals.

Recent Wins

The Recent Wins panel shows completed work, providing an evidence feed of agent output:

• Summary stats -- counts of PRs opened, commits pushed, and goals completed.
• Evidence items -- individual accomplishments clustered by kind (goals completed, pull requests, commits). Each entry links to the underlying PR on GitHub, the job in the Console, or the associated goal.

You can toggle the time window between 24 hours and 7 days using the period selector in the panel header. Click any count to drill into the Activity view filtered by that item type.

Recommended Daily Workflow

The Workboard is designed for a check-in pattern:

1. Start with Needs You. Address blocking decision requests and failed or blocked jobs first. These are the highest-priority items because they are preventing agents from making progress.
2. Glance at Live Execution. Confirm agents are running and working on the right things. Check for unexpected queue buildups.
3. Review Recent Wins. See what has been accomplished since your last check-in. This is especially useful for daily standups or reviewing overnight work.

Navigating to Details

Click any item in the Workboard to open a slide-over panel with more detail. The slide-over is URL-backed -- you can share or bookmark direct links to specific items using the ?item= and ?type= query parameters.

From the slide-over, you can:

• View the full context of a decision request and respond to it.
• See error details and resolution suggestions for failed or blocked jobs.
• Retry a failed job or snooze a blocked one.
• Navigate to the associated goal, run, or repository.

Keyboard Navigation

The Workboard supports keyboard navigation for fast triage:

The keyboard hints footer at the bottom of the Workboard displays available shortcuts contextually.

Browser Notifications

The Workboard can send browser notifications when new blocking items appear. When enabled, you receive a desktop notification whenever a new blocked job or open decision request is detected, even if the Console tab is in the background. Click the notification to jump directly to the Workboard.

Enable notifications from your browser's permission prompt when first visiting the Workboard.

Team Visibility

The Workboard is shared across your workspace, making it a natural coordination point:

• Everyone in the workspace sees the same view of what agents are doing and what needs attention.
• You can quickly identify whether someone else has already addressed a blocking item.
• The Recent Wins panel provides shared context on progress without manual status updates.

Relationship to Other Views

The Workboard aggregates information that also lives in more detailed views:

Think of the Workboard as your starting point. It tells you where to look. The detailed views give you full control when you need to go deeper.
