Member Dashboard (Slack & Teams)

Every member gets a personal training dashboard inside Slack and Microsoft Teams — progress, points, streaks, awards, and a web handoff, no web login required.

Overview

Members don't log into the Herd web console — their home base is a personal dashboard inside the chat tool they already use:

  • Slack — the Herd app's Home tab (open the Herd app in Slack and pick Home).

  • Microsoft Teams — the Herd app's personal Dashboard tab (formerly called My Training).

Both surfaces show the same essentials: every assigned training with its status (Completed, Queued, Overdue, Due soon, In progress), the member's points, monthly points, rank, and training streak, and a My awards section for downloading any completion awards they've earned.

Occasionally (at most once a week per person), training completion and reminder messages carry a small footer pointing members to the dashboard, so it stays discoverable without extra announcements.


Training details and the web handoff

Each training on the dashboard can be expanded:

  • On Slack, click View details to open a modal with the training's history and per-step detail.

  • On Teams, the View details / Hide details toggle expands the same information inline.

From the detail view, Open on web hands the member off to the web player through a secure link (valid for 7 days) — useful for longer trainings or anyone who prefers the browser. No web account is needed.


Training streaks

Streaks reward consistent, on-time completion. A member's streak counts consecutive assigned trainings completed within 5 business days of assignment — or by the training's due date when a later one is set:

  • Completing on time extends the streak.

  • Completing late — or letting an assignment slip past its window — resets it to 0.

  • Quiet stretches with no assignments don't hurt: streaks freeze rather than decay.

The streak appears on the Slack Home tab and the Teams Dashboard tab, and completion messages celebrate streaks of two or more. You can also ask the Herd bot things like "who has the best training streak?" — the leaderboard chatbot queries can rank by streak.
