# EUDR Cockpit

> Manage progress, bottlenecks, and next steps from a central location

## Overview

The **EUDR Cockpit** is now the central entry point after logging in. It consolidates your progress, prioritizes the tasks that currently matter most, and links directly to the next sensible step in your workflow.

Unlike individual functional pages such as **Suppliers**, **Plots**, or **DDS**, the Cockpit is not a separate data store but rather your control and orientation area for the entire EUDR process.

## What You See in the Cockpit

### Hero Action

At the top of the page, Polygon One displays the most important action right now. This main action takes you directly to the area that currently advances your process the most, for example:

* inviting missing suppliers
* checking EUDR relevance
* adding evidence or geo data
* creating or assigning a DDS for open orders

### Priority Queue

Below the main action, you see a prioritized list of open bottlenecks. This queue distills the current state of your organization into concrete work items, so that you do not have to search across multiple pages for open issues.

Typical items in the queue relate to:

* missing master data
* open supplier invitations
* missing geo data, questionnaires, or documents
* unresolved risks
* open DDS assignments or missing DDS

### Process Bar

The Cockpit also displays a **phase bar** covering the entire EUDR workflow:

1. Initial setup
2. Master data
3. EUDR relevance
4. Data collection
5. Risk assessment
6. DDS & orders

This lets you see at a glance which phase is currently in focus and which phases have already been completed or are blocked.

### Contextual Help

On the right side of the Cockpit, you will find a **video introduction** and a **relevant Help Center recommendation** for your current stage of work. This takes you directly to the right guide instead of having to search the entire Help Center manually.

## Recommended Way of Working

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start with the main action">
    Open the highlighted action in the Cockpit first. It reflects the largest current bottleneck.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work through queue items one by one">
    Process the prioritized items rather than optimizing individual functional pages in isolation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the phase bar for orientation">
    After each significant change, check whether your organization is advancing to the next phase.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the contextual help">
    Use the recommended Help Center page when you want to explore a task in more functional or operational depth.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The Cockpit is especially valuable when multiple teams work in parallel on suppliers, geo data, documents, and DDS. It reduces coordination effort because the current need for action is already visible and prioritized.
