2 - Backstage home page

This article provides an overview of the Backstage home page and its different components.

The Backstage home page is the first page that you will see when logging into Backstage, and provides easy access to:

• All of the existing app projects, known as workspaces, that you have access to within your organization.
• Any workspace templates that you have access to within your organization.
• The workspace creation wizard, used to easily and quickly create a new workspace.
• The current information regarding your organization and user profile.

Your workspaces

Selecting Workspaces in the menu to the left of the screen displays all the existing workspaces that you have access to, along with their names and icons.

Workspaces can be sorted into live, past or future, based on their start and end dates, and you can search for specific workspaces using the the Search bar.

In the above screenshot, there are six existing workspaces, that all belong to the "Acme" organization.

Clicking on a workspace will take you to the selected workspace's dashboard.
More details on this are available in the Workspace dashboard article.

Clicking on the Create a workspace button will open the workspace creation wizard.
More details on this are available in the Creating a workspace article.

Your workspace templates

Selecting Templates in the menu to the left of the screen will display all the templates that you (or your organization) has access to, in the same way as workspaces are displayed.

Clicking on a template will also take you to the selected template's dashboard. A template dashboard works in the same way as a workspace dashboard.

Here you can also click on the Create a template button to create a new template. More details on this are available in the Workspace templates article.

Your organization(s)

Selecting Organizations in the menu to the left of the screen will list the organization(s) that you belong to, in the My memberships section, as well as the organization owner.

Selecting an organization in the list will display its corresponding information, in the Manage organization tab:

Here, in the Details section, you will find information on the selected organization's name and account ID, as well as its app users (and the events they are associated to), its Backstage users, workspaces, legal documents, web hooks, and default settings. More details on this are available in the Organization management article.

Note: Depending on your role in Backstage, you may or may not be able to see these options in Backstage.

Your profile

The Backstage home page contains a link to your user profile information, where Backstage users can access and modify their user name and phone number.

Click on the bubble containing your initials in the bottom left corner to display and edit your information.
