After logging into your DASSET user account and connecting to a Data Hub, you are presented with the Home Screen. The Home Screen is your one-stop shop for accessing all of the functionality of DASSET on the Data Hub you are connected to. For example, connecting to a Data Hub that you have been invited to join may have a slightly different Home Screen than when you connect to your own Data Hub.

The following are sections of the Home Screen for your DASSET Data Hub.
