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