Workspace Home and Command Search
A live home view of workflow health, recent runs and quota, paired with a keyboard-driven search that reaches every object in the workspace.
These images are illustrations of the concept, not screenshots of the actual product.
Overview
Automation platforms fail people quietly. A schedule stops firing, one connector starts returning warnings, a teammate publishes a change, and nobody notices until a customer does. This concept addresses that by making the first screen after sign-in an honest status report on everything the workspace is running, and by putting a single search box in front of every object the workspace contains.
The first illustration shows the home view. A persistent left rail carries the main sections of the product - overview, workflows, runs, schedules, connections, nodes, templates, analytics, audit logs and settings - and anchors a usage meter and plan card at its base. The main column opens with a personal greeting, three starting actions for creating a workflow, browsing templates and inviting teammates, and a row of metric tiles for active workflows, runs today, success rate and average run duration, each carrying a change indicator against the previous day. Beneath that, a recent-runs list with per-run status pills sits beside a seven-day run-volume chart, a grid of workflow cards showing state badges and last-run times, a quota ring with a reset countdown, and an activity feed of invitations, completions, warnings and failures.
The second illustration shows a workspace home with the command palette open over it. A shortcut chip sits next to the input, and a short typed query is already fanned out into labeled result groups with per-group counts: workflows with their state and a one-line description, a run identified by its execution reference and outcome, nodes tagged by role such as transform or action, a stored connection showing its provider, and a matching template. A keyboard legend along the bottom edge spells out navigating, opening and dismissing the palette.
Together the two screens define the everyday entry point. The design envisions the dashboard as the place where you notice something, and the palette as the way you reach it in one movement, without learning where each object lives in the navigation. From either surface the intended next stop is the builder, a run detail, or a connection - the deeper surfaces covered by the other concepts in this product.
What this concept shows
- Metric tiles for active workflows, runs today, success rate and average run duration, each with a day-over-day change indicator
- A recent-runs list where every entry carries a plain status pill for success, warning or failure
- A seven-day run-volume chart with a granularity selector and a total for the current day
- Workflow cards showing active or error state alongside how long ago each one last ran
- A quota ring and sidebar meter showing runs consumed against the plan allowance and days until reset
- An activity feed mixing invitations, completions, warnings, failures and new templates with relative timestamps
- A command palette opened from a keyboard shortcut, grouping matches by workflows, runs, nodes, connections and templates with result counts
- A keyboard legend for moving through results, opening the highlighted one and closing the palette
How it works
- Sign in and land on the home view, reading the metric tiles and run chart for the state of the workspace today.
- Scan the recent-runs list and activity feed for any entry marked as a warning or a failure.
- Check the quota ring to see how much of the plan allowance the workspace has consumed and when it resets.
- Press the search shortcut from anywhere to open the command palette and type a few characters of what you are looking for.
- Move through the grouped results by keyboard and open the matching workflow, run, node or connection directly.
Who it's for
- Operations and automation leads who own a portfolio of running workflows
- Engineers who need to jump straight to a specific run or node
- Team leads tracking adoption, success rate and quota consumption
- Agency and consulting teams switching between client workspaces

Workspace Overview Dashboard
This illustration shows the workspace home. A left rail lists overview, workflows, runs, schedules, connections, nodes, templates, analytics, audit logs and settings, and closes with a usage meter and a plan card. A top bar holds a workspace switcher, a search field with a shortcut hint, a notification bell with an unread count and an account menu. The main column opens with a greeting and three actions for creating a workflow, browsing templates and inviting the team, followed by four metric tiles - active workflows, runs today, success rate and average run duration - each showing a change against yesterday. Below sit a recent-runs list with success, warning and failed pills, a seven-day run-volume area chart with a daily selector, a grid of workflow cards with active or error badges and last-run times, a quota ring with a reset countdown, and an activity feed. All figures shown are sample data.
Command Palette Search
This illustration shows the command palette open over a dimmed workspace home. A wide input at the top carries a shortcut chip, a short typed query and a clear control. Results below are grouped with per-group counts: two workflows, each with a description, an active or draft state dot and a type badge; one run, listed with its execution reference, a completed status and a relative timestamp; two nodes labeled by role, one as a transform and one as an action; one stored connection showing its provider and a connection identifier; and one matching template. A keyboard legend along the bottom describes arrow keys for navigating, enter to open and escape to close. Behind the overlay the design shows a system-health card, a recent-runs list and a run success-rate stat with a trend line. Names and figures are sample data.
