Views
The Steer module’s Dashboard tab offers three ways to view and interact with actions across your organization. Switch between views depending on your needs — visual status tracking, detailed sorting, or time-based planning.
Kanban View
The Kanban board organizes actions into four status columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Pending | Actions not yet started |
| In Progress | Actions currently being worked on |
| Blocked | Actions waiting on a dependency |
| Completed | Finished actions |
Each column header shows a count badge with the number of actions in that status.
Action Cards
Each action appears as a card showing:
- Source tag — The objective, key result, or committee the action belongs to
- Title — Action name (truncated to 2 lines)
- Progress bar — Visual completion percentage
- Due date — Color-coded by urgency:
- Red: Overdue or due today
- Orange: Due in 1–3 days
- Blue: Due in 4–7 days
- Gray: Due in 8+ days
- Assigned user — Avatar of the responsible person (or unassigned indicator)
Drag and Drop
Drag action cards between columns to update their status. When you drop an action:
- The status updates immediately (optimistic UI)
- Moving to Completed automatically sets completion to 100%
- The change syncs with the server in the background
Table View
The table view displays all actions in a sortable, searchable list:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Action name — click to open details |
| Source | Origin plan or committee with icon |
| Status | Clickable status badge |
| Priority | High, Medium, or Low |
| Due Date | Deadline — highlighted in red if overdue |
Key Features
- Sort by any column — Click column headers to sort ascending/descending
- Status cycling — Click the status badge on any row to cycle through statuses (Pending → In Progress → Blocked → Completed)
- Overdue highlighting — Past-due actions display their date in red
- Search — Filter by title or source name
- Auto-collapse — Large lists show the first 10 items with an expand button
Calendar View
The calendar view displays actions and meetings on a monthly grid:
Navigation
- Use the previous/next arrows to navigate between months
- The current date is highlighted
- Dates with events show color-coded dots
Viewing Events
- Click any date with events to open a detail panel showing all items for that day
- Events include both actions (by due date) and meetings (by scheduled date)
- Click an individual event to open its details modal
Locale Support
The calendar respects your language setting:
- English: en-CA format (Sunday-first weeks)
- French: fr-CA format (Monday-first weeks)

Archive Controls
All views support archive filtering through the filter bar:
- Active only (default) — Show only current, non-archived actions
- Archived only — Show only archived/completed actions
- All — Show everything
Archived actions display a visual badge to distinguish them from active ones.
