Home is the page you land on after logging in to wxrks. As an Account Admin or a Project Manager, it puts what needs you first: the figures you track, the decisions or risks waiting for you, the deliveries due this week, your ongoing projects, and the tasks that still need a linguist. This article walks through each section, says where the two roles differ, and shows how to act from the Home without opening each project.

Who this is for: Account Admins and Project Managers. Clients and Vendors have their own Home, described in Client's Portal and Vendor's Portal. For what each role can do, see All about wxrks roles.

What each role sees:

Permissions: Take it requires the Project Update permission (in the Project module), and Assign requires the Task Assign permission (in the Task module) of the permission matrix (People > Users > [User] > Permissions). The default Account Admin and Project Manager roles have both.

The other sections are described below: Your numbers, Deadline radar, Ongoing projects, and Task triage.

The Messages button (the speech-bubble icon at the top of the page, with your unread count) holds your conversations about projects and tasks.

Your numbers is a band of the figures you choose to track. Hover a figure to see what it measures and how it compares with the previous period. Calculated N min ago at the bottom says how fresh the figures are; click the refresh icon beside it to recalculate.

To choose the figures, click What lands here. In What lands in your numbers, turn on the switch of a figure under Available to add it to your band, turn off a figure under In your band — in this order to take it out, and use the up and down arrows to set the order. Click Done to save, or Cancel to leave the band as it was.

The two roles choose from different catalogues:

Both catalogues also include Words in flight, Words delivered, Review score, and Active vendors. Pick the ones you actually watch: the dialog suggests that six or seven is where the band stops being easy to scan.

This side section lists, one line per kind of issue, what needs you today. Each line shows a count, a Why it is here icon (hover it to read the reason), Open to see the items, and an X to dismiss the line. A kind with nothing pending does not show; when nothing is pending at all, the section reads Nothing needs you right now.

The section differs by role:

Why it is here explains each line. For example, a late-projects line is there because "The project's due date has passed, or it is due today with work still open." On an Account Admin's Home, wxrks may write this explanation for you, from the current figures; the tooltip then reads Why it is here, by wxrks, the section shows an AI badge, and for the quotes line it lists the amount per currency.

Open takes you to the items behind the count, filtered the same way the count was made: the tasks lines open Task triage on the matching tab, and the projects lines open Ongoing projects filtered by status or deadline (for example Projects · Waiting for approval for stalled quotes).

Dismissing a line hides it until its count changes; it does not resolve anything, and the counters at the top still include it. The toast Hidden until something changes offers Undo for a few seconds. Dismissed lines are listed under N dismissed · Show at the bottom of the section, where Restore brings a line back and Always hide keeps it hidden even when its count changes.

Deadline radar charts the deliveries due over the next seven days, plus the ones already late. An Account Admin's radar covers the whole account (whole account · next 7 days); a Project Manager's covers their projects (your projects · next 7 days).

Ongoing projects lists your approved projects in progress, 8 at a time, with the most urgent due date first. Each row shows:

Use the bar above the list to narrow it:

Click Save view to keep these filters: the list opens the same way next time. Click a project row to open its project page, with all its sections (see Project Overview). To browse every project with the full filter panel, use Projects in the side menu (see How to list and filter projects).

A project without a Project Manager shows a dash and a Take it button under Owner. Click Take it to become its owner: your name replaces the button, a toast confirms it (You now own, followed by the project reference), and the project now counts under Owner: Mine.

Took the wrong one? Click Undo in the toast while it shows (a few seconds): the project goes back to having no owner. If someone else took the project first, the Home tells you Somebody already owns this project.

Task triage gathers the tasks that need a decision, in three tabs, each with its count:

Each row shows the Task (project and reference), Step, Languages, Words, and Why it is here. Narrow the list with the search (project, reference or file), Due (All, Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, This week, Later) and Owner, and sort by Due date, Words, or Project. On Need attention and Late, Open project takes you to the task.

On a Project Manager's Home, Task triage shows by default. On an Account Admin's Home it shows when you open it from the tasks late counter or a Needs a decision line; to keep it on your Home, turn it on with Customize this page.

A toast confirms it (Assigned to, followed by the linguist's name), and the task leaves To assign. To assign tasks in bulk or from the project page, see Assigning Tasks to Users.

Click Undo in the Assigned to toast while it shows (a few seconds). The task goes back to To assign, unassigned, with the due date it had before you assigned it, as if you had not assigned it. The linguist's rate is not kept on the task: the next linguist you assign brings their own.

ℹ️ Note: Undo only works while the linguist has not opened or accepted the task. If they already did, the Home says The linguist already opened the task, so this cannot be undone. Change the assignment from the project page instead.

Click Start a new project at the top right of the Home. It opens the New project page, where you choose Direct project or Project routing and then go through two steps: Files (Organizational Unit, languages and files) and Review (details, context and workflows). How to create a translation project in wxrks walks through the page field by field, and How to use Project Routing in wxrks covers routing.
