# How to use the Constructor home screen?

After you sign in to **Constructor**, the **home screen** (`/main`) opens. It is the default landing view: summary metrics, hints for next steps, and quick access to main areas. You get operational context immediately without digging through the menu.

## When you'll need this

- You want to orient yourself right after sign-in and see what matters now.
- You need **key performance indicators (KPIs)** in one place.
- You want **one-click** access to scenarios, bots, or settings from cards or links.
- You prefer **AI-powered in-product help** for common questions (when your organization has it enabled).

## What to know

- Visible blocks depend on your **role** and **permissions**; some cards may be hidden.
- Metrics depend on **data in the system**: during early rollout or with no traffic, some values may be zero or minimal — that can be expected.
- **Shortcuts** lead to frequent actions (for example, process library, settings, help). The exact set depends on configuration and permissions.

## What is on the home screen

### Key performance indicators (KPIs)

The top area or separate cards show **summary metrics** (for example, dialogue or request activity — depending on analytics and accumulated data). This gives a quick sense of load and trends without opening the statistics module.

### Shortcuts and navigation

You may see **buttons or cards** for common modules: scenarios and bots, settings, channels, and more. Use them as a fast path instead of hunting for items in the sidebar.

### Main menu and active process

In the **top bar** (hamburger icon), the **Process menu** block shows the **active bot** — many modules depend on it. Click the process name to open search and the list; the **star** pins frequently used processes at the top.

### AI assistant

The top bar (**spark** icon) or the home screen may offer the **AI Assistant**: it answers questions about the platform, uses your current page as context, and can help with configuration when your role allows. If you do not see the button, contact your administrator.

## Steps: where to start

1. Sign in — the Constructor home screen (`/main`) opens.
2. Review KPI blocks and hints.
3. Open what you need: a card on the screen, the **sidebar**, or the top navigation.
4. For in-depth configuration, open **[Settings](/en/settings/admin-hub.md)** — sections are grouped in the **sidebar** with expandable groups.
