RCPsych: The Dashboard page explained - Resident doctors

The Dashboard page of your account is where notifications are displayed about entry, ESR and ARCP progress and direct messages with Supervisors. It is recommended that you use this only as a notification and quick access point as this is not a page unique to RCPsych accounts. There are links and tools that are available to all FourteenFish users here. 

Your portfolio for training and all the actions and tracking you need to use are on the Portfolio page where all the specific RCPsych information is held.

The Dashboard page is detailed below:

1. The fish icon here is a link to the main FourteenFish website. If you end up on this page click on Dashboard in the left corner to navigate back to your account and Portfolio.
2. The top menu allows you to navigate to the different parts of your account. You will mostly only need to access Portfolio and Dashboard.
3. Your name is listed to ensure you are accessing the correct account, it is important to check this if you are on a shared computer when accessing your portfolio. The drop down menu under your name features the My account page where account changes like registered email, Multi Factor Authentication, Password etc can be updated. You can also log out here or access the Help pages and Contact Us form, when needing support. Click on your initials icon or your name to expand this.
4. This is your live notifications page. As you can see above, key Portfolio updates are highlighted here. New Educational Notes, Supervisor ESR sign off, expected CCT etc are highlighted here. Anything that you need to action will have a pink link to take you to the relevant page. There will also be updates from any Communities you are a member of, and there may be some FourteenFish product highlighting that might not be relevant to you, please ignore this. 
5. This is a tool available to all users to track what Learning Logs and CPD is entered on their account over a specific/personal date range. This is independent of the portfolio, and does not automatically track against Review Periods or training years. If you choose to use this tool, you must edit the date range yourself and remember it does not link to your training progression. We recommend not using it and focusing on the tacking tools within the Portfolio page. 
6. This is a link to the All entries page to allow you to easily find entries from any Review Period or on any template/form, that you need to look at. This includes assessments and Learning Logs, and those locked on ESR sign off as well as new, current Review Period work.
7. This section is not going to be relevant to your training or use of FourteenFish as a resident doctor. It facilitates personal and group discounted purchasing of FourteenFish products that are outside the scope of your training.
8. If you are a member of any communities on FourteenFish, these are listed here. It is unlikely that you will need this feature.
9. The 'create CPD' options here are for appraisal portfolio use post CCT, you can add CPD entries but these do not link to the training portfolio. We recommend all training activity is conducted on the Portfolio page.
