Finding your way around

Every page shares one header, and the browse pages share one layout: a list on the right, filters on the left, and details that slide in over the list rather than taking you away from it. Once you know one page, you know them all.

The header#

The header stays at the top as you scroll. From left to right:

• CapitolMath — the logo takes you to your dashboard.
• Tracking — your organization's own work: My work, your Inbox and the bills you own or watch; Tracked items, the bills you track with your position, status and owner on each; Tasks, who's doing what by when; Reports, client updates and briefings; and Scorecards, which grade legislators on your bills (it was Legislator Scorecard under Explore; its address is the same). The menu lists only the pages you can use, each with a one-line hint, and the number beside it is how many bills wait in your Inbox. See Getting started with tracking.
• Explore — the data: Legislation (bills), Elected Officials, Committees, Calendar (hearings and sessions) and Help.
• Integration — every way to take the data away: REST - Docs and REST - Open API for the API, MCP, Widgets, Webhooks and Bulk datasets. Everyone sees every item; the Widgets and Webhooks pages say who in an organization can use them.
• Your photo or initials, which opens the account menu.

On a phone, the menu button at the right opens the Tracking, Explore and Integration items and the account menu's items, as one list.

The app and the public site#

CapitolMath is two places. app.capitolmath.ai is the app: the data, your views and lists, scorecards, widgets and everything else on these pages. Only registered users reach it, and anyone else who opens one of its pages is asked to sign in first, then taken to the page they asked for.

capitolmath.ai is the public site: what CapitolMath is, Pricing, the legal and trust pages, this Help and the API docs. Anyone can read those, signed in or not. The footer of every page in the app links to the legal and trust pages there.

The account menu#

Signed in, the top right shows the name of the organization you're working in, with its logo beside it if it has one. Owners and Admins can choose the name to open the Organization page; for everyone else it's a label. Beside it is your photo (or your initials), and it opens the account menu, which shows your name and email address, so you can see which login you're using, and:

• My profile — you: your details, the active organization and your role and license in it, notifications, your saved views, your other organizations, your password and, with a Full license, your API keys;
• Organization — members, groups, plan, billing and more. Everyone except client members sees it;
• Log out.

See Choosing and switching organizations to move between organizations, and About your organization for the Organization page.

The browse pages#

Legislation and Elected Officials work the same way:

• A search box across the top, and beside it Export CSV and REST API (which shows the API request that returns what's on screen).
• List and Dashboard at the top right: the records themselves, or charts of them.
• Filters down the left side, each with a count. On a phone they're behind the Filters button.
• Cards or Table above the list. In a table, choose a column heading to sort by it.

The address in your browser's bar carries the filters, the search and the open record, so you can bookmark a page or send someone the link, and your browser's Back button undoes the last thing you opened.

Panels that slide in#

Choose a bill and its details slide in from the right, over the list, so you keep your place. The same happens with a legislator, a governor, a committee or a hearing. A panel opened from inside another stacks on top of it — choose a sponsor in a bill's panel, and closing the legislator returns you to the bill.

Close a panel with Close ✕ at its top right. Bill, legislator, governor and hearing panels also close when you press Esc or choose the dimmed page behind them.

Help beside your work#

Press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows) on any page to search help. Choose a result and the article opens in a Help panel beside what you're doing; Open full article ↗ opens it on its own page. Help in the Explore menu, and in every page's footer, opens the whole of it.
