Journey Tab

The Journey tab lives next to Overview on the Stack Automation admin Overview page. It tracks the user's onboarding progress through a guided "Getting Started" checklist.

Purpose

The Journey tab is intended to drive new-user activation: each Go button deep-links into the relevant part of the product (e.g. the Solution Hub, Resources page, or Management Server install flow) so users can complete the step directly from the checklist.

Getting Started panel

On the left side of the tab, a Getting Started card explains the purpose of the checklist ("Experience the basic features and learn about the benefits of Stack Automation.") and displays an overall completion donut chart — according to the users completion of the tasks.

Onboarding steps

To the right, a vertical checklist walks the user through five onboarding steps. Completed steps show a checkmark icon; steps not yet started show their step number. Each step has a description and a Go button (some steps also offer a secondary Take a tour / View more link):
