What does a newly joined associate see in the work panel?

✨ Introduction #

When associates join Kaamfu, their dashboard looks slightly different from organization owners or managers. This article explains what a newly joined associate sees upon first login and how their Work Panel evolves once tasks or projects are assigned.

🎯 Why This is important? #

The first-time experience ensures that associates clearly understand their starting point in Kaamfu. By providing a blank and clutter-free view until they’re assigned work, associates can:

• Avoid confusion with unnecessary preloaded content.
• Focus only on the tasks, boards, and spaces relevant to them.
• Quickly adapt to the Kaamfu environment without distractions.

This structured onboarding experience helps new associates start fresh and become productive once assignments begin.
