To use the dashboard features, including submitting a product for a logo, you must first register your company and yourself on the dashboard. The dashboard replaces the Windows Quality Online Services website that was also known as Winqual.
Registering on the dashboard
When you register on the dashboard, there are three possible paths that you can take, depending on whether you are registering a new company for the first time, adding a user to an existing company, or migrating an existing Winqual account.
