Update to the Homepage Dashboard

The PEARS homepage dashboard was redesigned with work-in-progress tracking, completion status, and quick links.

The PEARS homepage dashboard was redesigned in July 2023 to highlight work in progress and provide quick access to key features. Starting June 13, 2024, all users see the new dashboard by default. Users can opt out temporarily through the Manage Account screen (pears.io/accounts/profile/), but the legacy dashboard receives no future updates and will be phased out.

Dashboard Components

Welcome to PEARS

A welcome message with links to support documentation. This section displays only when a user has no records in the system and disappears once the first record is created.

Work in Progress

Displays incomplete records sorted by module and date modified. Includes search and module filtering. A Show More button appears when more than six records are available. A completion message displays when all records are complete.

Completion Status by Module

A visual summary of record completion across modules:

  • Dark green — Your own completed record

  • Light green — A completed record where you are a collaborator

A dark green checkmark appears when all records in a module are complete.

Three sections for tracking upcoming work:

  • Deadlines — Records with close dates within 14 days
