How to switch lenses and use the LFX Self Serve dashboard effectively.

Last updated

The LFX Self Serve dashboard adapts based on your persona and the lens you have selected. This article explains how to switch lenses, what each view contains, and how to use the project context switcher.

Switch lenses

  1. Sign in to app.lfx.dev.
  2. Locate the lens switcher in the top navigation or sidebar.
  3. Select one of the available lenses: Me, Foundation, Project, or Org.
  4. The dashboard and left navigation update automatically to reflect the selected lens.

Your lens selection is saved for 30 days. The next time you sign in, the app restores your last-used lens.

Me lens

The Me lens (the default view at /) shows your personal activity across all your projects. You see your recent contributions, upcoming meetings, earned badges, and training enrollments.

Foundation lens

The Foundation lens (/foundation/overview) is available to board members and executive directors. It shows foundation-level health metrics, project summaries, and governance activity. Executive directors also see additional health metrics at /foundation/health-metrics.

Project lens

The Project lens (/project/overview) focuses on a single project. Select the project you want to view from the project context picker. The view updates to show that project's committees, meetings, votes, and contributor metrics.

Org lens

The Org lens shows your organization's membership status and participation across Linux Foundation projects.

Switch project context

When you are in the Foundation or Project lens, you can switch between different projects or foundations using the context picker in the top navigation. Select a different foundation or project to update the entire page to that scope.

Drawers and detail panels

Many dashboard cards open a drawer (a side panel) when you select them. Drawers show detailed metrics, charts, or related items without leaving the current page. Close a drawer by selecting the close icon or pressing Escape.
