About ReadyAPI Dashboard
The ReadyAPI Dashboard includes multifunctional tiles that collect, organize, and display information about recent test runs. You can also use the tiles to create new tests and projects.
When you start ReadyAPI for the first time, the Dashboard workspace displays sample data in the tiles. This data demonstrates the tile functionality and remains inactive.
The Activities & Helpful Links panel provides quick access to recent projects, sample projects, documentation, and community resources. You can use this panel to add sample projects to your workspace and access additional ReadyAPI information. To hide or how the panel, click
