We’re excited to let you know that your new Vessel Dashboard is almost ready. To make this possible the Dashboard will be unavailable on Wednesday 9th of October.
What do you need to do for the update?
Nothing. The new Dashboard will be available on Thursday 10th. If you need to access anything important please do so before the 9th.
Why we redesigned the dashboard
workrest has grown more complex over time, and the new dashboard is an effort to simplify your experience. Our intent is to make workrest more efficient for vessel admins and more approachable for a broad range of people. We’re also creating a consistent foundation for our existing products—and products yet to come.
This new design:
Provides quicker access to the pages and reports you use most frequently
Gives you more control to customise the date range for the review, summary and report pages
Makes features more intuitive by improving their placement
Introduces a completely new interface for managing and scheduling crew leave

Flight information
Define the departing and arrival airports for crew travel directly in the leave scheduler.
User pages
Crew details are now easier to see and change through the new individual user pages.

Crew leave report
Each crew member now has an individual leave report page, centralising everything you need to manage their leave in one place.
Watch schedule calendar
Watch schedules are now mapped to a shared calendar on the dashboard, giving you and other vessel admins visibility of your watch roster. More updates and features coming soon to this product.
Page navigation
Product navigation
You can navigate between workrest products via the the left-hand side menu.
Product page tabs
Pages for each product are now accessible via a horizontal menu at the top of the page.
Settings pages
Vessel settings can now be accessed via the 'Settings' cog ⚙️ icon at the top right of the page.
In | Out board
New design
The In | Out board has been redesigned to allow you to see more of your crew on the page without scrolling and to make it easier for crew to check themselves in or out of the vessel.
The status sections have also been shuffled to the following order:
Top of the page
In
Out
Leave
Leave scheduler
Improved travel input
Assigning outbound and inbound travel is now broken out into its own sections in the leave scheduler.
Leave duration
You can now define a duration for a leave period rather than selecting an end date.
Set leave approver
You can now designate an approver for a proposed leave period. And we’ll let them know by email.
