Lesson 3: Steward Dashboard layout (what they run from)

Running an Exchange · 2 min read · original

Goal: One page stewards actually use, daily, without hunting. Create a page under 00 - Dashboards: Steward Dashboard | VillageName Then add these blocks in this exact order.


Block 1: Today’s cockpit (top of page)

View: ExchangeRequests — NeedsInfo

  • Filter: RoutingState = NeedsInfo
  • Sort: TimeWindowStart ascending

View: ExchangeRequests — ReadyToMatch

  • Filter: RoutingState = ReadyToMatch
  • Group: by Domain
  • Sort: Urgency descending, then TimeWindowStart ascending

View: ExchangeMatches — Upcoming

  • Filter: Status = Confirmed AND ScheduledStart within next 7 days
  • Sort: ScheduledStart ascending

View: ExchangeMatches — CompletedNotLogged

  • Filter: Status = Completed AND CompletionLogged is unchecked
  • Sort: ScheduledEnd descending

This is the minimum set that runs the system.


Block 2: Capacity protection (private section)

Only visible to stewards. View: PulseChecks — OverloadedThisWeek

  • Filter: EscalationState = Overloaded OR Feeling = Overloaded
  • Sort: WeekStartDate descending

View: ContributionLedger — ImbalanceWatch

  • Filter: SignedHours absolute value > threshold (or use a rollup-based view)
  • Sort: SignedHours ascending/descending depending on your method

This block prevents the silent collapse pattern.


Block 3: Tools and resources (lightweight)

View: ToolBookings — Overdue

  • Filter: DueBackDate < today AND Status != Returned
  • Sort: DueBackDate ascending

View: ToolsInventory — Available

  • Filter: Available = checked
  • Sort: Category A→Z

Block 4: Governance memory (keep it minimal)

View: Ledger_Accountability — DueSoon

  • Filter: DueDate within next 14 days AND Status not Completed
  • Sort: DueDate ascending

View: Ledger_TensionResolution — Open

  • Filter: Status = Open
  • Sort: DateCreated ascending

Block 5: Quick actions (buttons + links)

Add a small section with:

  • Link to “Create New Exchange Request” template
  • Link to “Create Match” workflow guide
  • Link to “Steward Scripts” page (clarification request, clean closure, overload check-in)

Stewards should never have to remember words under pressure.


Steward success metric

If this dashboard is used daily, the system works. If stewards avoid it, something is too complex or too emotionally loaded. The dashboard should feel calm.
