# Overview

Find your way around the Kernel Platform and understand what the Dashboard shows.

The Kernel Platform is where you review your data, check what Kernel has processed, and manage changes to your CRM. The [Dashboard](https://app.kernel.ai/) is the best place to start.

## Dashboard

The Dashboard has four tabs: Overview, Usage, Events, and Tracked accounts.

| If you want to know\...                              | Start here                                              |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| What needs attention?                                | **Overview** for open actions and the data accuracy map |
| What has completed or failed in a period?            | **Usage** for totals, trends, and status                |
| What is running, or what happened in a specific run? | **Events** for recent processing activity               |
| How many accounts are using my allowance?            | **Tracked accounts** for current usage and capacity     |

### Overview

The [Overview tab](https://app.kernel.ai/) gives you a quick read on the state of your data:

* **Open actions** shows how many recommendations are waiting.
* **Records corrected** shows recent completed work.
* **Data accuracy map** groups pending records by recommended action and risk tier. Select a cell to open the matching action queue.
* **Explore** takes you to [Accounts](/platform/accounts.md), where you can inspect individual records.

### Usage

The [Usage tab](https://app.kernel.ai/?tab=usage) shows how much work Kernel has processed over a selected period. Use the date controls and, when available, the inbound flow filter to narrow the results.

You can see total results, completed results, errors, usage over time, and the status breakdown. Some workspaces also show request speed and let you open the records behind a result.

### Events

The [Events tab](https://app.kernel.ai/?tab=events) is a history of processing activity. It shows when each event started, how long it ran, its status, and who or what triggered it. Open an event to see its progress and results.

### Tracked accounts

**Tracked accounts** shows how many accounts are using your allowance and how much capacity remains. Use it before importing more accounts.

## Find your way around the platform

The main navigation follows the way data moves through Kernel.

| Area                                            | What it is for                                                                                                        |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Connections](/platform/crm.md)                 | Connect Salesforce, Amazon S3, or Clay, and configure the data Kernel reads and writes.                               |
| [Sync history](/platform/crm.md#sync-history)   | Review completed, running, and failed syncs.                                                                          |

| [Rules](/platform/data-setup/cleaning-rules.md) | Set how Kernel treats duplicates, parent suggestions, related records, and deletion candidates.                       |
| [Data actions](/platform/actioning.md)          | Review and run associate, delete, and merge recommendations.                                                          |
| [Enrichment](/platform/enrichment.md)           | See the data Kernel provides, define custom verticals, and run bulk enrichment.                                       |
| [Workspace settings](/platform/settings.md)     | Edit your company profile, manage members, and choose notifications.                                                  |
