Workspace Dashboard
The Workspace Dashboard allows you an overview of all of the sites that have been added to your workspace. You can access the Site Dashboard, access the site issues here, and plug in a search term to pull up a specific set of sites.
Manage Workspace
Manage Workspace can be found in the top right-most corner of the screen when clicking the user profile icon.
Teams
The Teams page will allow you to manage all of your teams assigned to the workspace and which users are a part of the teams.
Learn more about managing teams in this guide.
Workspace Settings
Settings for the workspace are adjusted here, as well as allowing you to send invites to additional users, and manage any integrations that have been enabled on sites.
Learn more about the Workspace Settings in this guide.
Integrations
The Integrations page will allow you an overview of all the integrations you have enabled on all of your sites.
Take a peek at the integrations we offer.
Site Folders
On the sidebar, a list of all the sites that have been added to the workspace are displayed. Each site in the sidebar represents a folder containing tools and settings specific to that site. Click a site name to expand its menu and access its Site Dashboard, where you can manage pages, run scans, and more.
Site Dashboard
The Site Dashboard looks a little different from the Workspace dashboard. From here, you’ll be able to run scans, view scan results, display recent activity, access Visual Mode, modify pages, and more.
Visual Mode
Access Visual Mode from the Site Dashboard to visually review accessibility feedback directly on your site.
Important: This menu item appears only after running your first scan. For setup instructions, visit this guide.
Issues
Issues will lead you to a listing of issues found on your site due to scans or manual audits. Explore all of the issues identified on your site, sorted by:
- Severity: Critical to low impact
- Type: Errors, warnings, or notices
- Status: Active, resolved, or not an issue
- Pages: Specific locations of the issues
- Assignees: Team members handling the resolution
The Issues menu item will remain hidden until a scan has been run for the first time. Once a scan has been run, Issues can be accessed for the site.
Learn more about accessibility issues by taking a peek at this guide.
Pages
Your Pages can be added to the site, allowing you to run an automated scan or start a manual audit. The Pages will also let you access the settings and issues for the pages in particular.
The Pages menu item will display as Homepage Settings if the site is on the Homepage plan of AAArdvark until it’s upgraded.
Learn more about adding pages to a site with the help of this guide.
Teams
If you need to assign teams to particular sites, you can do so from here. This will let you grant access to non-admins and non-project managers so they can view the site dashboard.
Settings
When you set up your site for the first time in Aaardvark, you remember seeing a site configuration screen. From the settings of the site dashboard, you’re able to make changes to the configuration.
If you haven’t already done so, configure a site today by following the steps here.
Integrations
The Integrations page will lead you to all of the integrations you have enabled for the site, or the ability to add any if there are none.
The Integrations menu item will remain hidden until a scan has been run for the first time.
