Overview
Operational visibility in Cowork lives on the Mesh Canvas (Mission Control) — not on a separate Control Center page. You read run stats from the employee drawer and scan what needs attention in Mission Control / Day Planner. This article covers what you actually see for run analytics. It does not describe a standalone task-board product screen.Mission Control — Day Planner
Open the Day Planner panel on the Mesh Canvas for a workspace-level operational view:- Upcoming wake-ups — scheduled Work Cycle runs about to start
- Pending approvals — plan reviews, input requests, connector decisions, hire reviews
- Recent activity — quick scan of what ran across employees you can see
Employee drawer — summary stats
Click any employee node to open the drawer. At the top you typically see aggregate stats for that employee:
These numbers come from the employee’s run history and refresh when you open or reload the drawer.
Execution timeline
Below the summary, the timeline lists individual runs. Each entry shows:- Status — Running, Success, Failed, Pending approval, and similar labels
- Wake reason — scheduled heartbeat, manual trigger, voice call, etc.
- Duration — seconds for completed runs
- Cost — credits for that run when available
Mesh node badges
Without opening the drawer, status badges on employee nodes give a quick read: Idle, Running, Paused, Error, Pending approval. Use badges for scanning; use the drawer for numbers and history.What this is not
- Manual Kanban-style workspace task boards are outside the mesh/drawer surfaces described here
- For deeper per-run cost and planner detail, open a run from the timeline — see Advanced monitoring
