Every project in Navis Ops has its own customizable dashboard, found on the Overview tab. You build it from nine widget types, arranging and resizing them however makes sense for that project. Your layout is personal — each collaborator on a project can set up their own arrangement without affecting anyone else.
Navis Ops also has a workspace-level dashboard at the top of the app with its own cross-project widgets. This page covers the per-project dashboard on the Overview tab inside a project.

​
Widget details

The Progress Overview widget sits full-width at the top of the default layout. It surfaces four stat cards: Tasks Done, Milestones, Time Tracked, and Overdue. Below the cards, you’ll find a deadline strip (days remaining or overdue) and a next milestone strip.This widget gives you a health check on the project in a single scan.
Quick Tasks lets you create and update tasks without navigating away from the dashboard. Use the filter tabs (All / To Do / In Progress / Done) to focus on a subset. Click the status badge on any task to change it inline.
The Notes List shows your project notes with pin toggles. Pin the notes you reference most and they rise to the top. Click New Note to create a note directly from the dashboard.
The mini Calendar widget shows the current month with colored dots on days that have events or tasks with due dates. Click a date to see the events for that day. Navigate months with the arrow buttons in the widget header.
Quick Capture is a personal scratchpad — use it to jot down ideas, reminders, or action items mid-session. Items live in the widget’s configuration. When an item becomes real work, promote it to a task using the task creation flow.
Quick Capture items are not persisted as first-class database records. If you need something to show up in reports or search, create a task instead.
This widget displays the project’s custom fields in an editable form. Toggle on any of the 19 curated field templates (stakeholder, budget, target launch, repository URL, Figma link, risk level, phase, and more) or define your own. Field types include text, URL, date, number, currency, and select.
Sticky Notes are your personal scratchpad, separate from project notes. Add as many notes as you want and color-code them with five presets. They’re private to you on shared projects.
Deleting a sticky note is permanent. There is no trash or undo for sticky notes.
The Files widget shows the most recently added files linked to the project, with a storage usage indicator. Click any file to preview or download it. To add files, go to the project’s Files tab or drag files directly in.
Custom Analytics provides a configurable chart for project metrics. Select the metric you want to visualize from the widget’s settings. The available metric set grows as new analytics options are added to Navis Ops.

Walkthrough: build a client project dashboard

Here’s how to configure a dashboard for a client engagement so everything you need is visible the moment you open the project.
1

Open the Overview tab and enter edit mode

Click into your project and then click Edit in the toolbar.
2

Keep the default Progress + Tasks + Notes layout

The three default widgets — Progress Overview, Quick Tasks, and Notes List — are a solid foundation. Leave them in place.
3

Add the Project Details widget

Click Add Widget → Project Details. The widget drops into the next available row. Toggle on: client_name, target_launch, repository_url, figma_link, budget. Fill in the values.
4

Add Sticky Notes for reminders

Click Add Widget → Sticky Notes. Add a yellow note for “Ping Sam about copy approval” and a blue one for “Check brand guide before Friday.”
5

Add the Files widget

Click Add Widget → Files. Head to the Files tab and upload the kickoff brief and brand guide. They appear in the Files widget automatically.
6

Arrange your layout

Drag the new widgets into positions that feel natural. Put Project Details below Quick Tasks if you glance at metadata often, or beside the Notes List if you reference them together.
7

Lock the layout

Click Lock. Your dashboard is saved and ready to use.
Next time you open this project, the Overview tab shows you progress stats, today’s tasks, recent notes, client metadata, reminders, and recent files — all in one screen.

Not on a per-project dashboard — every widget here is scoped to the current project. The main workspace dashboard at the top of the app has cross-project widgets.
Not today. Layouts are per-user, per-project by design so your customization doesn’t override a teammate’s setup. Each person configures their own.
On the per-project dashboard, the Files widget shows recent files linked to that project. For the full file list, open the project’s Files tab.
No. Each widget type can appear once per dashboard. The Add Widget popover hides types you’ve already added.
