Dashboard
Learn how to create and manage project dashboard in the Origin platform.
The Dashboard is the central overview for a single repository inside Origin. When you open a project, this is where you see what is happening now, what needs attention, and where to continue work.
It brings together recent tasks, active worktrees, and open pull requests so you can quickly orient yourself and decide what to do next.
For example, if you open a repository after a few days away, the Dashboard helps you answer three questions immediately:
- What has been worked on?
- What is currently in progress?
- What needs to be picked up next?
Project Header
At the top of the page you'll see the project name, when it was last updated, and a View on GitHub link that takes you directly to the repository.
On the right side, a Re-Index button lets you trigger a fresh reindex of the codebase, along with a timestamp showing when it was last indexed.
Below the header, three counters give you a snapshot of overall project health:
- Scope: total number of tasks in the project
- Started: tasks that are actively being worked on
- Completed: tasks that have been finished
A progress bar beneath these counters visualizes completion at a glance. This is useful when managing a sprint or a focused improvement cycle — you can see how much ground has been covered without opening the full task list.
If you work across multiple teams or client repositories, the project name and team context in the top navigation confirm which workspace you are operating in, preventing accidental cross-context changes.
Recent Tasks
The Recent Tasks panel lists the latest tasks in the project, showing the most recently created or updated work items.
Each entry shows:
- Priority: Medium, High, Urgent, or Low
- Task title: a description of the work to be done
- Assignee: the team member or agent assigned
- Status: such as Triage, In Progress, or Done
The count next to Recent Tasks shows how many tasks exist in total, with a View All link to open the full task list when you need deeper visibility.
Managing Tasks Inline
Right-clicking any task opens a context menu that lets you act on it without leaving the Dashboard.
From here you can:
- Status: Move the task through its workflow stages. Two groups are available:
- PM: Backlog, Triage
- Dev: To Do, Queued, In Progress, In Review
- Assignee: Assign the task to a specific team member, leave it unassigned, or hand it off to Orgn Copilot, the autonomous coding agent. You can also invite a new member directly from this menu if the right person isn't on the team yet.
- Priority: Set the urgency level to Urgent, High, Medium, or Low.
- Rename: Edit the task title directly.
- Add Link: Attach a relevant reference or external URL to the task.
- Make a Copy: Duplicate the task, useful when creating similar work items across a sprint.
- Delete: Permanently remove the task.
This makes it easy to triage, reassign, or reprioritize work on the fly without opening individual task views. For example, if AI Task Discovery generates a batch of new tasks all sitting in Triage, you can right-click through them one by one, set priorities, assign owners, and move them to To Do in seconds.
Creating a Task
The Create Task button sits alongside the Recent Tasks header. Click it to open the task creation form, where you can set a title, description, priority, status, assignee, labels, and attachments.
This makes it easy to convert an observation or idea into structured, trackable work without leaving the Dashboard.
Recent Worktrees
The Recent Worktrees panel on the right side of the Dashboard shows active execution environments currently running inside the project.
Each worktree entry shows:
- The mode it is running in (e.g., Code Mode)
- The sandbox it is connected to (e.g., TBX Sandbox)
- How long ago it was active
- The most recent session timestamp
Worktrees represent isolated branches of execution. If you or a teammate started a coding session recently, it appears here so you can quickly return to it without searching through tasks or sessions manually.
For example, if a Code Mode worktree was opened 5 hours ago with a new session, you can click directly into it to resume that work from exactly where it left off.
Open PRs
The Open PRs panel lists pull requests that are currently open against the repository.
Each entry shows:
- The PR title
- The PR number
- The author
- The source and target branches (e.g.,
feature/opencode → main) - How long ago it was opened
This gives you visibility into in-flight code changes without switching to GitHub. If an agent completed a task and opened a PR, it surfaces here alongside any manually created pull requests from your team.
For example, a PR titled dashboard component clean opened by User from feature/opencode into main would appear here,
letting you review or merge it directly from within Origin's context.
How the Dashboard Is Typically Used
In practice, the Dashboard is the first place you land when opening a project. It is designed to minimize the time between opening Origin and doing real work.
A typical flow looks like this:
- Open the project and check the scope, started, and completed counters to understand where things stand.
- Scan Recent Tasks to see what was added or updated since your last session.
- Check Recent Worktrees to resume an active coding session if one is already running.
- Review Open PRs to see if anything is waiting to be merged or reviewed.
- Create a new task or jump into an existing one to start working.
Rather than opening GitHub, a task tracker, and a separate IDE independently, the Dashboard pulls the most relevant state from all of these into one place so you can move quickly and stay in context.
