Creator Dashboard
Understand the Creator Dashboard layout, key areas, and practical workflows so you can manage your profile, portfolio, collaborations, and compliance with confidence.
What the Creator Dashboard is
The Creator Dashboard is your home base on ModelBoard for managing your public presence, collaborations, and compliance as a model or creator.
From the dashboard you typically:
- Maintain your creator profile and public links.
- Build and update your portfolio.
- Track and manage collaborations through the Collabs hub.
- Stay on top of verification and compliance requirements.
- Respond to notifications and messages.
- Adjust privacy, notifications, and account settings.
Creator dashboards apply to Model/Creator accounts. If you use a Business, Studio, or Enterprise account, your layout and options differ from what is described here.
Key areas of the Creator Dashboard
Use these core areas to manage your day-to-day work. Exact labels in the interface may vary, but the functions map to these concepts.
Profile
Edit your bio, photo, social links, and verification badges. This is what collaborators and clients see when they open your profile.
Portfolios
Create curated sets of work for different niches or clients. Control which projects are visible and how they are grouped.
Collaboration Hub
View collaboration proposals, check project status, and open Collabs projects for schedules, files, and licensing.
Compliance & Verification
Start or review identity checks, consent records, and other compliance-by-design workflows tied to your collaborations and profile.
Notifications & Messages
See invites, status updates, and key alerts related to collabs, compliance, and account activity. Use this as your inbox for platform activity.
Settings
Fine-tune privacy, notification preferences, and connected apps, and confirm your account type is set to Creator.
Bookmark your dashboard in your browser. Treat it as the single starting point when you log in to ModelBoard so you do not miss new invites or compliance reminders.
First session checklist (recommended path)
Use this guided walkthrough for your first focused session on the Creator Dashboard. After completing these steps, your profile and portfolio will be ready for sharing and collaborations.
Confirm you are on a Creator account
- Open your dashboard and check that your account is set up as a Model or Creator, not Business or Studio.
- If you see organization-level options instead of personal profile tools, review Account Types to switch or create the correct account.
Success looks like: The top of your dashboard clearly references your creator profile and not an organization.
Complete your creator profile
- Go to your profile section from the dashboard.
- Add or update your profile photo or logo, headline, and a concise bio that reflects the type of work you want.
- Add key links such as your portfolio site, social handles, or MB apps like MB BioLink if you use them.
Success looks like: Your profile preview no longer shows placeholder text and includes a recognizable image, a clear bio, and at least one external link.
Start verification and compliance basics
- Open your compliance or verification section from the dashboard.
- Begin any recommended verification flows associated with creator accounts, such as identity checks or baseline consent records.
- For collaborations, skim the Compliance area so you know where to return when a project requires additional documents.
Success looks like: Your profile shows that verification is in progress or complete, and your compliance area does not list urgent missing essentials.
Build a starter portfolio set
- Navigate to Portfolios from the dashboard.
- Create at least one curated portfolio that matches a real booking scenario, such as beauty, commercial, or editorial work.
- Add strong, representative pieces and organize them in a clear sequence that tells a story for that niche.
Success looks like: Your dashboard surfaces at least one published portfolio you can confidently share with collaborators or agencies.
Explore the Collaboration Hub
- Open the Collaboration Hub from the dashboard navigation.
- Check for any pending collaboration proposals and review their statuses.
- Open a sample or active collab project to familiarize yourself with tabs like Overview, Collaborators, Schedule, Moodboard, Screenplay, File Sharing, Licensing, and Pro Services.
Success looks like: You understand where new invites will appear, how proposals move from pending to completed, and how to open a project to see its workspaces.
Review notifications and settings
- Open your notifications panel from the dashboard and clear out any old or test alerts so that future collab updates stand out.
- Visit your settings area to adjust notification preferences, security options, and any connected MB apps such as MB Events or MB Casting Forms.
- Decide which notification channels you rely on for time-sensitive collab updates.
Success looks like: Your notifications are not cluttered with irrelevant alerts, and you know exactly how you will be notified about invitations, schedule changes, and compliance requests.
Do not upload or share materials you are not authorized to use. When in doubt, centralize contracts, releases, and licensing details in your collab project using the Compliance and Licensing areas so they stay tied to the project.
Suggested daily workflow
Once your first session is complete, treat the Creator Dashboard as your daily control center.
Morning check: invitations and alerts
- Open your dashboard and scan notifications for new collab invitations, comments, or compliance requests.
- Prioritize pending items in the Collaboration Hub, especially proposals waiting for your response or projects with upcoming Schedule milestones.
Work blocks: portfolios and active collabs
During focused work time:
- Refine your portfolios by adding new work from recent shoots and archiving sets that no longer match your goals.
- Open active collab projects from the hub and work through current tasks:
- Review creative direction in Moodboard or Screenplay.
- Exchange assets via File Sharing.
- Confirm dates and call times in Schedule.
- Align on usage terms and fees in Licensing or coordinate additional Pro Services if relevant.
Wrap-up: compliance and visibility
Before you log out:
- Check your compliance area for any outstanding items linked to today’s projects, such as missing confirmations or updated identification.
- Quickly scan your profile and portfolios to ensure they still match the roles and collaborations you are targeting right now.
- Confirm you have no unread critical notifications so you do not miss next-day changes.
Common issues and how to handle them
Use these quick answers when something in your Creator Dashboard does not behave as expected.
If your dashboard is showing organization or business tools instead of a personal creator profile, you are likely on a non-creator account type.
- Open your settings or account overview and confirm your account type.
- Compare what you see with the options described in Account Types.
- If you started as a Business or Studio account, create or switch to a Model or Creator account so the Creator Dashboard views and tools appear.
If you expect an invite but do not see it:
- Open the Collaboration Hub directly from the dashboard navigation and check the proposals list for
pendingstatus items. - Confirm that your notification preferences in settings allow collab-related alerts.
- Ask the inviter to confirm they used the correct email or profile handle and that the proposal status is not already
archived.
If you still do not see expected invites, capture screenshots of your hub view and contact support through the Help Center.
Portfolio updates may not appear where collaborators expect them if they are not linked or published the way you assume.
- Check the Portfolios page from your dashboard to confirm the portfolio is published and not set to private or draft.
- Make sure you linked the correct portfolio in your collab proposal or project notes.
- Ask a trusted collaborator to open your creator profile and confirm which portfolios they see.
If the portfolio is published but hidden in a specific collab context, reference it explicitly in project notes or within the Overview tab of the project.
Repeated compliance prompts usually mean part of the workflow is incomplete or updated information is required for that project.
- Open the collab project and go to the Compliance section.
- Look for items marked as incomplete or requiring updates, such as expired documents or missing confirmations.
- Complete or refresh the requested items rather than dismissing the prompts from notifications.
After you update the compliance items, return to your Creator Dashboard and confirm that the alerts are cleared for that project.
If you receive too many low-priority alerts or miss critical ones:
- Visit the settings area from your dashboard and review notification preferences.
- Keep high-priority channels enabled for collab proposals, schedule changes, and compliance events.
- Reduce or mute less critical categories, such as general announcements, if they distract from time-sensitive work.
Revisit these settings whenever your workload or collaboration style changes so your dashboard stays a clear signal, not noise.
