About the Dashboard

The dashboard appears when you first log in to TIDE (Figure 2). Every task you can perform in TIDE is available on this page.

The dashboard displays a section for each task category in TIDE (Preparing for Testing and Administering Tests). Each section lists menus for the tasks available in that category.

Note: The task menus displayed on the dashboard depend on your user role and may vary from what is shown in the example image.
