Overview
The home screen is the default landing page after sign-in. It is built around a customizable widget grid and a list of the flows you have worked on most recently, with quick-launch entry points for creating a new flow.
The home screen was rebuilt as a widget-based dashboard in version 9.4.1 (April 2026) and refined through 9.5.8.
Layout
The home screen has three sections, stacked top to bottom:
- Hero — a "Start here" heading and short prompt.
- Widget grid — up to eight widgets in a responsive grid (one column on mobile, two columns at typical desktop widths, three columns on wide screens).
- Recently Touched Flows — your twelve most recently opened or run flows.
The widget grid
Widgets fall into three groups: Create (start a new flow), Insights (operational metrics), and Audit. The grid is customizable per user and persists across sessions.
Default layout
On first sign-in, four widgets are visible:
- Vibe-build a flow (Simba)
- Blank canvas
- Start from template
- Stats
The remaining widgets are available from the Add widget picker.
Customizing the grid
- Reorder. Drag a widget by its handle (≡) to a new position.
- Hide. Click the × on a widget to remove it from the grid. Hidden widgets remain in the Add widget picker.
- Add. Click Add widget and pick from any widget you have permission to see.
- Resize. Drag the bottom edge of the widget section to give it more or less vertical space.
All preferences (visible widgets, order, section height, view mode, live-updates toggle) are stored per user in browser local storage.
Live updates
A Live toggle above the grid switches metric widgets between manual refresh and server-pushed live updates. When live updates are on, widgets refresh as new data arrives, with polling fallback if the push channel is unavailable.
Widget reference
Vibe-build a flow (Simba)
Group: Create. Available to: all users (where AI features are enabled).
Describe what you want to automate — for example, "load Stripe charges into Snowflake every hour" — and Simba opens a new Composer flow with that prompt already in the chat panel. Simba then builds the flow on the canvas, waiting for your approval at each state-changing step.
Start from template
Group: Create. Available to: all users.
Opens the template browser. Browse or search the full template library (3,979 templates as of this release) and launch a new flow from a reusable starting point.
Blank canvas
Group: Create. Available to: all users.
Opens a new Composer flow with an empty canvas. Use this when you want to build a flow yourself without Simba or a template as a starting point.
Stats
Group: Insights. Available to: all users.
High-level execution counters for the current day:
- Total executions (primary value)
- Records processed
- Breakdown by trigger: scheduled, on-demand, listener, agent
Click the widget to open the Insights area on the Statistics tab.
AI Stats
Group: Insights. Available to: Admin and SuperAdmin on tenants where AI features are enabled.
Token consumption and cost for the current month:
- Total tokens used by the AI Agent (primary value)
- Conversations and total requests
- Cost — total or billable, depending on environment and BYOK settings
Click the widget to open the AI usage dashboard in Insights.
Running Flow Tasks
Group: Insights. Available to: SuperAdmin (requires flow-task monitoring enabled).
A live count of tasks currently executing across the cluster:
- Running tasks (primary value)
- Number of distinct flows producing those tasks
Click the widget to open the Running Flow Tasks dashboard in Insights.
Resource Usage
Group: Insights. Available to: SuperAdmin.
A snapshot of system-level resources right now:
- Current CPU usage (primary value)
- RAM usage, disk usage, number of nodes
Includes a six-hour timeline view for quick context. Click the widget to open the Resource utilization dashboard in Insights.
Resource utilization dashboard →
Audit
Group: Audit. Available to: Admin and SuperAdmin.
A live count of audit-trail events:
- Events today (primary value)
- Regular events vs errors
- Activity in the last hour and last twelve hours
Click the widget to open the Audit Trail.
Recently Touched Flows
Below the widget grid, the home screen lists the twelve flows you have worked on most recently. Flows are added to this list automatically when you open them in the editor or run them.
Grid and Table views
Switch between Grid and Table at the section header:
- Grid — one card per flow, with name, type icon, and last-run status.
- Table — one row per flow, with name, type, schedules, status, and inline actions.
Your choice persists across sessions.
Empty state
If you have not opened or run any flows yet, the section shows: "Flows you open or update will appear here." Use a Create widget (Simba, Template, or Blank canvas) to get started.
Who sees what
Widgets respect the role of the user signed in:
- All users — Vibe-build a flow, Start from template, Blank canvas, Stats.
- Admin and SuperAdmin — Audit, AI Stats (when AI features are enabled).
- SuperAdmin — Running Flow Tasks, Resource Usage.
Widgets that are not available to you do not appear in the Add widget picker.
