### 5. Use Cases

#### Use Case 1: Morning Platform Check
**Scenario:** Daily health check of multi-cluster platform
**Solution:**
- Open Dashboard
- Review cluster health (all green?)
- Check workload status (any failures?)
- Verify active policies
- Check for alerts
- Total time: < 1 minute

#### Use Case 2: Onboarding New User
**Scenario:** Show new user the platform capabilities
**Solution:**
- Start at Dashboard
- Point out cluster, workload, policy counts
- Use quick actions to demonstrate features
- Click cards to navigate to each section
- Dashboard as "home base"

#### Use Case 3: Incident Response
**Scenario:** Alert received about platform issue
**Solution:**
- Check Dashboard for red indicators
- Identify affected area (clusters/workloads/policies)
- Click relevant card to navigate
- Drill down to specific resource
- Use quick actions to remediate

### 6. API/Integration Reference

#### Backend Endpoints
- `GET /api/dashboard/metrics` - Get all metrics
- `GET /api/clusters/count` - Cluster count
- `GET /api/wds/count` - Workload count
- `GET /api/bp/count` - Policy count
- `GET /api/dashboard/health` - Health status
- `GET /api/dashboard/recent` - Recent activities

#### Data Refresh
- Initial load: All APIs called in parallel
- Auto-refresh: Periodic polling
- Manual refresh: On-demand re-fetch

### 7. Troubleshooting

#### Issue 1: Metrics not loading
**Solutions:**
- Check backend connectivity
- Verify API endpoints
- Check browser console
- Refresh page
- Check permissions

#### Issue 2: Incorrect counts
**Solutions:**
- Hard refresh page (Ctrl+Shift+R)
- Clear browser cache
- Verify data in source pages (ITS, WDS, BP)
- Check for sync delays
- Review backend logs

#### Issue 3: Slow loading
**Solutions:**
- Check network latency
- Optimize query filters
- Enable caching (Redis)
- Reduce auto-refresh frequency

### 8. Related Features
