A clearer view of your workspace, built for shared insight

We’ve redesigned the Birdi dashboard to give you a more flexible and structured way to understand what’s happening across your workspace.

The new dashboard is organised into five key tabs, helping you quickly move between different types of insight—from day-to-day activity through to operational usage and collaboration.

This new dashboard is powered exclusively by Birdi Map 2.0, showcasing the latest data and collaboration from across your organization.


Dashboard tabs

Default

Your customisable workspace overview

The Default tab is now fully flexible—designed to show what matters most to you.

  • Add and arrange widgets from the report library

  • Tailor the layout to suit your workflow

  • Configure this per workspace (each workspace can have its own setup)

This becomes your go-to view for a quick, personalised snapshot of activity, processing, and insights.


Processing

Stay on top of what’s happening behind the scenes

Track the status of your data as it moves through Birdi:

  • View active and recently completed processing jobs

  • Monitor progress across outputs like orthomosaics, DEMs, point clouds, and AI detections

  • Identify bottlenecks or delays early

We’ve introduced 2 new processing reports to give more visibility into processing activity and status.


Insights

Understand what’s happening across your maps

The Insights tab brings together key activity and outputs across your workspace:

  • Latest maps created or updated

  • AI detections and outputs

  • Map coverage and geographic distribution

  • Comments and mentions across your team

This is where geospatial data becomes clear, actionable insight.


Usage

Track how your organisation is using Birdi

Monitor platform usage and resource allocation across your team:

  • Storage usage

  • Processing (GP) usage

  • Workspace and seat usage

  • Guest collaboration usage

  • File uploads and activity trends

We’ve added 7 new usage reports, giving you a more complete view of consumption, helping you plan ahead and manage capacity.


Collaboration

See how your team is working together

Keep track of team activity and communication across your workspace:

  • Recent actions (uploads, processing, sharing, edits)

  • Comments and mentions

  • Reports and shared outputs

We’ve introduced 2 new collaboration reports to better highlight how teams are interacting with data.


Report library & widgets

Across the dashboard, you can choose from a growing library of widgets, including:

  • Activity feeds (team activity, comments, reports)

  • Map and processing summaries

  • AI detection insights

  • Usage and capacity trackers

  • Geographic map coverage

Each widget is designed to give quick, scannable insight—and can be added to your Default tab for easy access.


Customising your dashboard

Your Default tab is designed to be flexible—so you can shape it around how your team works.

Rearranging your layout

To organise your dashboard:

  1. Go to the Default tab

  2. Hover over the ellipsis (•••) in the top right

  3. Select Edit layout

  4. Drag and arrange reports into the order that suits you

  5. When you’re done, click Save order (bottom right)

This lets you prioritise the most important information and create a layout that fits your workflow.


Adding or removing reports

You can easily customise which reports appear on your dashboard:

  1. Click the ellipsis (•••)

  2. Select Add report

  3. Browse the report library

Reports are grouped into categories to help you find what you need:

  • Activity cards

  • Graphs

  • Numbers

  • Other

From here, you can:

  • Add new reports to your dashboard

  • Remove reports you no longer need


Requesting new reports

Can’t find exactly what you’re after?

At the bottom of the report library, you’ll see a “Request a new report” option.
This lets you contact the Birdi team directly and suggest new report types to support your workflow.


Why this change?

The new dashboard is designed to support faster, more confident decision-making by:

  • Separating different types of insight (processing, usage, collaboration)

  • Giving teams control over what they see first

  • Making data easier to interpret at a glance

Whether you’re tracking processing, managing usage, or collaborating with your team, Birdi’s dashboard brings everything together—in a way that works for you.
