Using Dash

Overview

Dash is your ever present GovDash companion that is always available to help. It can provide you with summaries of opportunities and solicitations, details on your past performance, create documents like capability statements, draft emails, and even answer your questions about how to use GovDash features!

Accessing Dash

To access the Dash, click the blue-starry icon in the bottom right of GovDash. This is accessible on every page within GovDash!

Using Dash

Once inside the Dash, you can use the text box at the bottom to ask your question or provide your request. Dash has full context of your Data Library, Contract Cloud, solicitation package documents, and more, so the sky is the limit on what Dash can do for you. You can ask Dash to summarize opportunities, provide key insight into task area requirements and your capabilities to perform them, help you answer data calls by pulling from your past performance, create capability statements, and much more.

Controlling Context/Selecting Documents

By default, Dash will utilize all of the context it needs within GovDash like your Data Library, Contract Cloud, the current page, and our guides to best meet the need. You can control the context by selecting the context switcher to select a specific area, or upload specific documents from your Data Library or your device to limit the context to just those documents.

Deep Research

By utilizing the Deep Research button, Dash will spend more time analyzing your Data Library, producing more detailed documents and responses. This process takes longer than traditional responses, and a progress bar will show the current status of your request.

You can freely exit the chat window or navigate elsewhere in GovDash and Dash will continue to work in the background on your request. Once finished, you will receive a notification within the application as well as an email once it’s ready. You can view the completed document/request in Custom Docs on the left-hand side of GovDash.

Canvas Mode

If you need to quickly generate documents, Dash has you covered.

For example, you can utilize Dash to generate a capability statement based on the current opportunity you’re looking at in your Pipeline. By simply being on the same page and asking the assistant to create a capability statement, it has full reference of the current opportunity on the page, your Contract Cloud, and your Data Library to quickly create the document within seconds.

After you’ve asked Dash to create your document, you can click the Edit in canvas button to bring that document right into the GovDash canvas editor.

You can ask Dash to create additional information and bring that data right into your live document by using the Copy function.

Once you’re ready to export your document, simply click in the top right hand corner of the editor to export the document in your company’s template! You can then use our Word Assistant to make even more improvements.

Chat History

Dash keeps a full, indefinite record of your conversations, questions, and requests. At any time, you can pull up your previous chats using the icon, which will be displayed in chronological order. To restore a previous session, click on the name of the session. You can also rename and delete sessions using the three-dot menu on the right.

Suggested Prompts

Suggested Prompts are provided based on the context of the page and the context of your conversations. These can be accessed above the chat window. By clicking the carrot/arrow, you can view what the prompt will be before it is sent to Dash.

Starting New Chats

At any point you can begin a new chat with Dash by selecting the button in the top right of the chat window. This will create a new chat while also placing your current chat in the history.
