Welcome

When you first log into Spider Impact you see the Welcome screen in the Home section.

This gives you a quick overview of your most important information.

1. The welcome message can be edited by an administrator and can contain a logo and videos. You can disable the welcome message entirely in Application Administration.
   
2. You'll see your most recent alerts here. There's also a link that takes you to the alerts page that we discuss next.
3. You can see the number of KPIs you own and update, as well as any tasks that are assigned to you. Clicking on one of these rows will take you to that page described below.
4. This help link defaults to sending requests to Spider Strategies, but administrators can change it in Application Administration to send help requests to any email.
   

Alerts

The Alerts section shows you all of the alerts you've received. Alerts are covered in more detail in the Overview of Alerts article.

Update KPIs

On the KPI Updates page you can update all of the KPIs that you have been assigned to as an Updater. For more information see the Manually Updating KPI Values article.

My KPIs

This shows you all of the KPIs that you have been assigned to as an Owner.

On the top of the page is a summary of how many KPIs you have of each color. You can click on each summary box to only show KPIs of that color.

My Tasks

My Tasks is similar to My KPIs, except it shows you all of the tasks from the Initiatives section that you're an owner of.

Approve KPIs

By default, KPI value updates take effect immediately. When the “Require Owner Approval For KPI Value Updates” application configuration setting is on, however, KPI values need to be approved in the Home section. This is covered in the Approving KPI Value Updates article.
