It's where you start new studies, access your existing research, and manage your account — all in one place.\n\nYou can access your dashboard at any time by visiting [/dashboard](/dashboard) or clicking the Koji logo in the navigation bar.\n\n---\n\n## The Main Dashboard: Start Your Research\n\nWhen you open the dashboard, the central element is the study creation prompt. You'll see:\n\n> **\"What do you want to learn?\"**\n\nBelow this greeting is a text input where you type your research goal in plain language. Click **Start study** to begin [working with the AI Consultant](/docs/working-with-the-ai-consultant) on your research design.\n\nThis is the primary entry point for creating new research. You can also browse the **template library** for pre-built research frameworks that jumpstart your study design across categories like product research, customer discovery, HR, marketing, and more.\n\nFor a step-by-step walkthrough of the study creation process, see [Creating Your First Study](/docs/creating-your-first-study).\n\n---\n\n## The Studies Page\n\nYour list of all research projects lives at **/dashboard/studies**, accessible via the **Studies** link in the sidebar. Each study card shows key information at a glance:\n\n- **Study title** — the name of your research project.\n- **Status badge** — the current state of the study (see statuses below).\n- **Interview count** — how many quality-filtered interviews have been completed.\n- **Relative time** — when the study was last updated.\n\nClick on any study card to open it and see the full details: research brief, interview plan, individual interview transcripts, and the aggregated analysis report.\n\n### Study Statuses\n\nStudies move through several stages:\n\n| Status | What It Means |\n|--------|---------------|\n| **Draft** | You're still working on the study design with the AI Consultant. Not yet published. |\n| **Active** | The study is published and the interview link is live. Participants can respond. |\n| **Paused** | The study has been closed. The interview link is deactivated but the study can be reopened. Shown as \"Paused\" in the interface. |\n| **Archived** | The study has been archived for long-term storage. |\n| **Completed** | The study is finished. The final report is available. |\n\nDraft studies are where you spend time with the AI Consultant refining your research brief, interview plan, and [structured questions](/docs/structured-questions-guide). Once you're satisfied, publishing moves the study to Active status. You can learn more about this process in [Creating Your First Study](/docs/creating-your-first-study).\n\n---\n\n## Navigating the Dashboard\n\nThe dashboard layout is designed to keep things simple, even as your research activity grows.\n\n### Top Navigation\n\nThe top navigation bar gives you quick access to:\n\n- **Dashboard home** — click the Koji logo to return here from anywhere.\n- **Account menu** — your avatar in the top-right corner for quick access.\n\n### Sidebar Navigation\n\nThe sidebar provides two modes of navigation:\n\n**Overview mode:**\n- **New study** — start a new research project.\n- **Templates** — browse the template library.\n- **Studies** — view all your research projects.\n\n**Profile mode:**\n- **Profile** — update your display name and profile picture.\n- **Billing** — manage your subscription and payment method.\n- **Usage** — see your credit usage for the current billing period.\n\nIf you have API access, you'll also see an **API Keys** option in profile mode.\n\nThe interface is responsive, so it works well whether you're on a desktop, tablet, or phone. That said, designing research briefs is most comfortable on a larger screen, while checking interview progress works great from mobile.\n\n---\n\n## Studies and Credits\n\nYou can create **unlimited studies** on every plan — including the free plan. The only limit is credits, which are consumed when interviews are conducted or reports are refreshed.\n\n| Plan | Monthly Credits | Price |\n|------|----------------|-------|\n| **Free** | 10 one-time credits | Free |\n| **Insights** | 29 credits/month | EUR 29/mo |\n| **Interviews** | 79 credits/month | EUR 79/mo |\n| **Enterprise** | 500+ credits/month | Custom |\n\nAll features are available on every plan. See the [Plan Comparison Guide](/docs/plan-comparison-guide) for details.\n\n---\n\n## Accessing Study Details\n\nClicking into a study from the studies page opens the full study view, which includes several key sections:\n\n### Research Brief\nThe finalized brief you created with the AI Consultant. This includes your research objectives, target audience, methodology, and key topics. Learn more in [Understanding the Research Brief](/docs/understanding-the-research-brief).\n\n### Interview Plan\nThe structured interview guide that Koji's AI follows during each conversation. This shows the question flow, probing areas, conversation structure, and any [structured questions](/docs/structured-questions-guide) you've configured.\n\n### Interviews\nA list of all completed interviews. Each interview entry shows:\n- Participant identifier (anonymized)\n- Duration\n- Quality score\n- Key takeaways extracted by the AI\n- Full transcript\n\n### Analysis & Report\nThe aggregated analysis across all interviews, including:\n- **Theme identification** — recurring patterns and topics across responses.\n- **Structured data aggregations** — averages, distributions, and breakdowns from scale ratings, choice selections, and rankings.\n- **Key insights** — the most significant findings distilled from the data.\n- **Participant quotes** — notable quotes that illustrate key themes.\n- **Summary report** — a structured writeup of the research findings.\n\nThe analysis improves as more interviews come in. With just 2-3 interviews you'll start seeing initial patterns. By 5-8 interviews, the analysis typically becomes rich enough to drive decisions.\n\n---\n\n## Dashboard Tips\n\nHere are a few things that experienced Koji users find helpful:\n\n- **Start reviewing after 2-3 interviews.** Don't wait until all interviews are done. Early reads can tell you if your questions are landing well or if you need to adjust.\n- **Pay attention to quality scores.** A lower-than-expected quality score might mean your interview questions need refining, or that the participant pool isn't quite right.\n- **Use the study title wisely.** Give studies descriptive names like \"Q1 Churn Analysis — Enterprise Segment\" rather than \"Study 1.\" Your future self will thank you when the studies list grows.\n- **Bookmark your dashboard.** If you run research regularly, keeping [/dashboard](/dashboard) in your browser bookmarks saves a few seconds every time.\n- **Customize your interview landing page.** Before sharing your study link, consider [customizing the branding](/docs/customizing-branding) to match your organization's identity.\n\n---\n\n## What's Next\n\nNow that you know your way around the dashboard, the next step is to create your first study:\n\n- [Creating Your First Study](/docs/creating-your-first-study) — the step-by-step guide to going from research question to live interviews.\n- [Creating Your Account](/docs/creating-your-account) — if you haven't signed up yet, start here.\n- [Plan Comparison Guide](/docs/plan-comparison-guide) — understand the differences between Free, Insights, Interviews, and Enterprise plans.","category":"Getting Started","lastModified":"2026-05-13T00:33:21.41039+00:00","metaTitle":"Dashboard Overview — Koji Docs","metaDescription":"Navigate the Koji dashboard to manage studies, monitor interviews in real time, and access AI-powered research analysis.","keywords":["dashboard","navigation","studies list","study management","interview progress","research overview"],"aiSummary":"A complete guide to the Koji dashboard, covering the study creation page, studies list, study statuses (including Paused/Closed), sidebar navigation, credit-based system, and accessing analysis reports.","aiPrerequisites":["creating-your-account"],"aiLearningOutcomes":["Navigate the Koji dashboard confidently","Understand study statuses and lifecycle","Monitor interview progress and quality scores","Access study analysis and reports"],"aiDifficulty":"beginner","aiEstimatedTime":"5 min read"}],"pagination":{"total":1,"returned":1,"offset":0}}
