The Home Screen
Home is your landing page every time you sign in to Pryzm. It pulls your most important information into one view and gives you a launch point for everything else in the platform. When Home loads, you’ll see three areas:- The navigation rail runs down the far-left edge and holds every module (Home, Capture, Industry, Gov, Congress, Budgets, CRM, and Orion), settings, GetHelp button, and your Profile Icon. .
- The Home panel sits beside the rail and contains Dashboard, Inbox, and My Comments, along with Customize Sidebar at the bottom.
- The main area opens with a personalized greeting, the Ask bar for chatting with Pryzm, and your Dashboard of widgets below it.
The Dashboard
The Dashboard is your default view within Home. It uses interactive widgets to give you a high-level overview of your workspace.

The Navigation Rail
The navigation rail on the far-left edge is how you move between modules. Each icon represents a module, and the bottom of the rail holds your Settings (gear), Help, and your profile avatar. Hover over any module icon to reveal a fly out menu listing that module’s pages, then click a page to go straight to it. For example, hovering Congress reveals Legislation Tracker, Budget by Bill, and Bills & Hearings under Legislation & Budget, plus Members & Staffers, Committees, and Calendar under Hill.Asking Pryzm a Question
The Chat bar at the top of Home (“Ask a question or / for prompts”) is the fastest way to put Pryzm Chat to work without leaving your dashboard.- Click into the Chat bar and type your question. Type / to pull up saved prompts instead.
- (Optional) Select @ Add context to point Pryzm at specific records, and use the Auto selector to choose a model (Chat GPT, Claude, Gemini).
- Press the send button.
Note: Chat is transparent about its results. If a data source can’t be reached, it flags the gap in its answer rather than guessing.
