The Stream Dashboard is your command center for configuring and monitoring AI Moderation. Before diving into the details, it’s essential to understand how to navigate the interface and ensure you’re working within the correct app environment, especially if your organization manages multiple apps.
Selecting the Right App
When you log in to the Stream Dashboard, the first thing you check is which app environment you're in. Stream allows organizations to manage multiple apps, such as dev, staging, or production within a single account.
To select or switch apps:
- Look at the top-left corner of the dashboard for the App Selector dropdown.
- Click the dropdown to view all apps associated with your account.
- Select the correct app before making any changes, each app has its own moderation settings, policies, and queue.
Pro Tip: Use consistent naming conventions (e.g., “AppName-Prod”, “AppName-Staging”) to avoid misconfigurations across environments.
