# Use the project dashboard

Each project opens on its **Dashboard**, which shows what the project holds and starts the tasks you do most.

## Before you begin

Choose the project in the **Project** selector at the top of the side menu. Its **Dashboard** opens. You can
also select the project in the **Projects** list.

## Finish getting started

**Getting Started** lists three steps and shows how many of them are done:

1. Verify your email address.
2. Select **Validate ID** to validate your identity and reach every feature.
3. Select **Add Credits** to add credits to your account.

Select a step that is still open to complete it.

## Start a common task

**Quick Actions** take you straight to the create form:

| Quick action         | What it opens                         |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Launch GPU**       | The form to create an instance        |
| **Launch Inference** | The form to create a model endpoint   |
| **Training Cluster** | The form to create a training cluster |

## See what the project holds

**Compute Resources** lists each compute service that has resources in the project, with how many are
**RUNNING**, how many are **STOPPED**, and the **TOTAL**. **Storage Resources** lists each storage service with
its **TOTAL**. Select a row to open that service's list.

An empty project shows **No service available currently**. To create your first instance, see
[Create an instance](/tir/tir-instance/how-to/create-an-instance/); for a training cluster, see
[Slurm Cluster](/tir/tir-slurm-cluster/).
