Using The Beacon Dashboard
Learn how to navigate and use Beacon to manage deployments, results and integrations.
Overview
The Beacon Dashboard is the central interface for managing your Begini integration.
It allows you to:
- Configure deployments
- Generate assessment links
- Monitor activity and results
- Access integrations and API details
For most teams, Beacon is where day-to-day interaction with Begini happens.
What you can do in Beacon
Beacon is designed to support both technical and non-technical users.
Key capabilities include:
- Creating and managing deployments
- Generating assessment links (no-code option)
- Viewing assessment results and scores
- Monitoring application activity
- Accessing integration settings
Key areas of the dashboard
Deployments
Deployments define how your assessments are configured and delivered.
You can:
- Create new deployments
- Configure assessment settings
- Control behaviour and experience
Deployments are used when generating links or integrating via API.
Link Generator (No-code option)
The Link Generator allows you to create assessment links without any development work.
Typical flow:
- Select a deployment
- Name your batch
- Choose how many links you need
- Generate the links
- Download and distribute them
This is the fastest way to start using Begini.
Results and analytics
Beacon provides visibility into assessment outcomes.
You can view:
- Individual results
- Scores and risk bands
- Completion status
- Behavioural insights
This allows you to understand both performance and user behaviour.
Integrations
The integrations section contains your technical configuration.
This includes:
- API keys
- Integration IDs
- Environment details
These are required for API-based implementations.
Activity monitoring
You can track:
- Application progress
- Completion rates
- Errors or failures
This helps identify issues and monitor performance.
Typical workflows
No-code workflow
- Create a deployment
- Generate links
- Distribute to users
- Review results in Beacon
API workflow
- Retrieve API key and integration ID
- Create sessions via API
- Receive results via webhook
- Monitor activity in Beacon
Who should use Beacon
Beacon is used by:
- Product teams (monitoring and configuration)
- Operations teams (managing deployments and results)
- Technical teams (integration setup and validation)
Best practices
- Use clear naming for deployments and link batches
- Monitor results regularly during rollout
- Validate setup in sandbox before production
- Restrict access to authorised users only
Common mistakes
- Creating multiple unclear deployments
- Not tracking link usage or results
- Misconfiguring integrations
- Overlooking activity monitoring
Next steps
To continue managing your integration:
- Managing Deployments
- Exporting & Using Data
- Monitoring Performance
