The Needs you page
The front page lists what is waiting on you in every application, most urgent first, and below it your applications and where each one has got to.
Needs you is the first page you see after signing in. It answers one question: what is waiting on me? Below that are your applications, each with the next step.
What is waiting on you
The list at the top shows everything waiting on you, in any of your applications, with the most urgent first. Each item is one sentence and one button. Where an item is about one application, its name comes first.
You only see an item if you can do what its button does. Two people in the same company can see different lists.
When nothing is waiting, the page says Nothing is waiting on you.
Every kind of item, in order
| What it says | Button | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Create your application: say what the business does, and a first version is made for you to approve. | Create your application | Owners, admins and editors, while the company has no application yet |
| The release to production (or to a test copy) did not finish. | See what failed | Everyone |
| Your free trial has a number of days left, ends today, the latest payment did not go through, or the account is at its plan's limit | Choose a plan, Billing or See usage | Owners and finance approvers |
| A change is waiting for your approval, with the words it was asked in | Review and approve | Whoever may approve a change of that size |
| A platform update needs your approval before it is applied | Review the update | Owners and admins for production; editors too for a test copy |
| A platform update is waiting in its window | Take it now | The same as above |
| You have no recovery codes, so losing your passkey would lock you out. | Make them now | You alone |
| The invitation to someone expired before it was used. | Send it again | Owners and admins |
Something that failed always comes before a decision, and a decision before housekeeping. For a company with no application yet, creating one comes first of all.
Who may approve which change
A change is only in your list if it is yours to approve:
- Editors may approve changes that add something or keep everything working as before.
- Admins may also approve changes that break something that worked before.
- Owners may approve any change, including one that removes data.
Some changes are checked by our team before anything is built. Those don't appear here, because there is nothing for you to do yet. See Read a change and approve it and People and roles.
What the buttons open
- See what failed and the platform-update buttons open the application's Releases. See Release a version and Platform updates.
- Review and approve opens that change's own page.
- The plan's button opens Plan and billing. See Plans and billing.
- Make them now opens Your sign-in at your recovery codes. See Signing in, passkeys and recovery codes.
- Send it again opens People, where a fresh invitation can be sent.
A read-only account
If your account is read-only (a free trial that ended, or a payment that didn't come in), that isn't an item in the list. It is a banner across the top of every page, this one included, until the account is back on a plan. See Sign up and your free trial.
Your applications
Below the list is Applications. Each application shows its name, one word saying where it has got to, one sentence, and one button for the next step. The ones that need you come first.
| Word | What it means | Button |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting for you | One or more changes are waiting for you to approve. | Review the change |
| Not described | Nothing has been described yet. If you've described it and our team is checking the first proposal, the sentence says so and there's nothing for you to do yet. | Describe the business, or See where it got to |
| Ready to release | A version is approved but not running anywhere yet. | Release it, or See where it got to if a change is with our team |
| Live | A version is running. The sentence says which version, and where; each place it runs is a link. | Ask for a change |
If your role can't ask for changes (viewers and finance approvers), the button reads See its changes instead. Pressing an application's name opens its Changes.
Below the applications are New application, which opens Create your first application, and Marketplace, where the templates are. See Templates and the marketplace.
