The Airship dashboard

Airship’s dashboard is our web interface at go.airship.com or go.airship.eu.

View as Markdown

The dashboard is where you create and access projects, containers for the settings, certificates, reports, and other details related to your messages and mobile wallet passes.

The dashboard has two levels:

  1. A list of all your messaging and mobile wallet projects.
  2. An individual project after opening it from the list of all projects.

Almost everything you do with Airship happens inside a project, including creating messages and wallet pass templates.

Viewing and finding your projects

At the top level of the dashboard, tiles display each messaging and mobile wallet project. Messaging projects list their name, environment, and channels. Mobile wallet projects list their name and pass type.

If you have more than eight projects, up to four of your most recently accessed projects appear under Recent. Recent projects are not shown when sort, filter, or search are applied.

The default view is sorted by creation date, newest projects first. Select Name or Date Created to sort. Select again to toggle ascending/descending order. You can search for projects by complete or partial name.

Use filters to toggle views:

FilterDescription
Owner/TeamToggle between projects you own and projects you have non-owner access to. See Manage project access in Manage Messaging teams and access. All mobile wallet projects appear for Owner.
Live/TestToggle between projects by environment type. All mobile wallet projects appear for Live.
ChannelSelect a channel configured for your account: Mobile apps, Web, SMS, Email, and Mobile wallet. After selecting Mobile apps you can filter again by platform. After selecting Mobile wallet you can further filter by pass type and company.

From the top-level dashboard, select a tile to open a project, then navigate using the header and sidebar.
