# Quickstart

> What the Arterial Dashboard does and where to find help for each main area.

## Welcome

This guide is for people who use the **Arterial Dashboard** in daily work: viewing road conditions, coordinating repairs, and managing workspace settings. It does not cover software development or internal systems.

Arterial helps your organization see what is happening on the network and act on it.

***

## What you can do

The dashboard brings maps, lists, and tools together so your team can:

* **Explore locations on the map** (Pin Map): pan and zoom, filter what you see, turn reference layers on or off, and open details for individual road issues.
* **See concentration at a glance** ([Heat Map](/maps/heat-map)): same map ideas as the pin view, styled so dense areas stand out.
* **See coverage summaries** ([Coverage Map](/maps/coverage-map)): how attention or activity is spread across the map area you are viewing.
* **Work in a table** ([Hazard List](/records/list)): sort, filter, search, open details, run bulk actions, and export selected rows to a spreadsheet file.
* **Coordinate repairs** ([Work Orders](/work/work-orders)): draft, schedule, and complete work orders; work with groups; search and filter; check export status when your workflow uses it.
* **Adjust workspace options** ([Settings](/settings/overview)): account and security for everyone; additional sections for workspace administrators (connections, assignees, priority rules, members).

## Who this site is for

These pages assume you already have access to the dashboard for your workspace. If you cannot sign in or need an invitation, contact your **workspace administrator** or Arterial support.

If you do not see a Settings option described here, your role may not include that access. Ask a workspace administrator.
