Project Overviews
Each project in Hub has its own Project Overview page. To access this page, click the Projects link in the header, then select a project from the list.
The main purpose of this page is to give you and your team a more convenient way to view information related the project. It also serves as a landing page or “home base” for each project.
This page displays project-specific information like team members, the project description, and integrations. It also provides a dashboard-like interface where you can add widgets that let you monitor the activity in your project.
Project Name and Description
At the top of the page, you see the project name and description. This information is taken from the Settings tab of the Edit Project page. For more information, see Edit Project Settings.
To the right of the project name, you have the option to add the project to your list of favorites. This pins the project to the top of the project list. Favorite projects are marked with an orange star.
Widgets
The bottom of the project overview page contains a dashboard-like interface for displaying widgets. Here, you can install widgets that let you monitor the activity in your project.
The project overview page supports all of the widgets that are available on a dashboard, including custom widgets that have been installed in Hub.
To add a new widget to the project overview:
Click the Add widget button.
Select the type of widget you want to add to the dashboard.
Select the service to use as the data source for the widget.
Configure the widget settings.
Click the Create widget button.
The widget is added to the project overview page.
You can also copy a set of widgets from a dashboard to your project overview. If you have already set up a dashboard that is dedicated to your project, use this option to quickly configure your project overview page.
Note that the grid for displaying widgets on the project overview page is not as wide as the grid on the dashboard. After you import widgets from a dashboard, you may need to resize and rearrange the widgets to fit the display.
To import widgets from a dashboard:
In the Widgets section of the page, click the Add widget button.
Select the Import from dashboard option.

Click the Import widgets button.
All of the widgets that are stored in the selected dashboard are added to your project overview page.
