Overview of the Interviewer Dashboard

The Interviewer dashboard offers an overview of the interviewer’s assignments and the state of completion they are in. The tabs displayed at the top of the dashboard sorts interviews by their status.

Navigation between tabs

To navigate between the different tabs, the interviewer can either tap on the tab at the top bar or swipe left or right. To help interviewers differentiate between the different tabs, the color of the dashboard will change based on which tab the interviewer is currently in. The interface will be grey for the Create New tab, blue for the **Started **tab, green for the Completed tab, and red for the Rejected tab.

Information for Assignments

The card for each assignment will have a number at the top. This number will correspond to the assignment number that Headquarters and Supervisors user will also use to identify the assignment. Next to the assignment number will be the number of interviews that remains to be completed by the interviewer. This number will decrease as the interviewer completes more interviews.

Additionally, each card will be have the identifying information for each assignment or interview. The first three identifying variables will be shown on the card for each assignment or interview. If there are more than three identifying variables for the assignment, the rest will be hidden. To reveal the other identifying information, tap once on the assignment’s card.
