Overview

• The Dashboard is a centralized location within
  vPC-GR that allows its customers to manage their
  individual profiles, submit online applications,
  review the status of those applications,
  coordinate on applications submitted to them for
  action, and create/run individual and unit
  reports.

Dashboard Crosswalk

Dashboard Overview
The new Dashboard will no longer have the
right-side navigation menu, thus expanding the
view field. For your convenience there will
still be Home Page and Log Out quick links
available.
9
Dashboard Worklist
When looking for a specific application, use the
filters at the top of the Worklist tab to narrow
down your search. Recently added is the ability
to search for applications by the first and/or
last name of the member.
10
Dashboard Roles Admin
The Roles Administration tab is only visible to
the Role Administrators. It is used to assign
members to their particular role within the
organizational hierarchy. The list of roles has
expanded now to accommodate all ARC organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q What are the major changes that Dashboard
  brings?
• A The primary change is the capability for
  customers to route applications and forms
  electronically as well as manage their individual
  profiles, submit online applications, review the
  status of those applications, coordinate on
  applications submitted to them for action, and
  create/run individual reports. All that and the
  availability of the digital signature, will save
  units time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q Why change now with the Defense Integrated
  Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS) coming
  online?
• A Integrated Process Teams, which included a
  cross section of Air Force personnel, recommended
  going forward with enhancements now rather than
  waiting on DIMHRS implementation. The technology
  is available now and with the expeditionary
  nature of our Air Force today, it makes sense to
  take advantage of the technology available. The
  implementation of the new process does not impact
  DIMHRS and some of these new applications will
  continue to be used after DIMHRS is active.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q How do I get assigned a role in Dashboard?
• A PSMs or HR DSAs should have a formal process
  in place to ensure key unit members are given
  functional roles, and maintain role assignments
  for new and separating members, or update the
  roles for those who transfer within the unit and
  the positions change.
• (Note  Role assignment processes may also follow
  you into the DIMHRS environment. In the interest
  of leaning forward, it may be good for your
  location to ensure a local process it
  established.)
