The control panel is the default start page in Projectfork which gives you a quick overview on your projects current events and tasks. The control panel itself has no functionality, except for showing two panels: "Tasks" and "Events". Both panels have several configuration options which you can access under Config -> Panels (See "Controlpanel tasks" and "Controlpanel events").
