Dashboard Overview
Introduction
You can reach the Aaardvark dashboard by logging in to your account here. The dashboard is where you can manage all of your workspaces, sites, scans, teams, and account information. Let’s proceed to dive into the details of the dashboard and how it works.
Account
When you log into Aaardvark, you will see your name in the top right corner, followed by a dropdown arrow.
My Profile
The My Profile page allows you to update your name and password, monitor your current browser sessions, and delete your profile – if you choose to do so.
Manage Workspace
With the Manage Workspace page, you can make changes to your Workspace as needed. You can change the workspace’s name and even choose a Workspace logo, so your workspace can stand out.
This area also allows you to add users to your workspace by sending out invites. You can view all users currently a part of your workspace and change their roles or remove them completely.
If you need to cancel your workspace, you’re free to do so. However, we will note that all of the data associated with the workspace will be deleted.
Learn more about managing workspace settings and users – read about this here.
Plan & Billing
The Plan & Billing page allows you to update and manage plans for all the sites in your workspace. You can add your payment method, update your billing, and view all of your invoices for any upgrades or purchases made.
View more information on how to manage your plan and billing here.
Support Center
The Support Center item allows you to access Help & Support for the help center, view the Terms & Conditions, and review the Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact our support team.
Log Out
If you’re done for the day or just need to – you’re able to Log Out.
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 menu item can be clicked to reveal the Site Dashboard items. Only one menu item can be expanded at a time.
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
The Visual Mode is accessed from the Site Dashboard, and it allows you to view feedback visually from the Aaardvark tool.
The Visual Mode menu item will remain hidden until a scan has been run for the first time.
For more information on how to set this up, please visit this guide.
Issues
Issues will lead you to a listing of issues found on your site due to scans or manual audits. You can view all of the issues in order of severity, type, status, pages, or who they are assigned to.
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.

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.

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.
Take a peek at the integrations we offer.
Notifications
In the upper right-hand corner of the dashboard, next to the name, there is a little bell icon that may or may not have an indicator of new notices. Clicking it will reveal any notifications of new issues that have been assigned during a scan.
Issues are located in the dashboard – marked as read or dismissed as necessary. If any were marked as read and there is a need to reference them, you can review the read notifications as well.
Search
Running into issues or have a question about how something is set up? The nifty search bar can be utilized to plug in search terms and bring up relevant guides from our help center that can address the topic at hand.
Please also consider visiting the rest of our help center here.
