I have to say I was initially stumped and annoyed by this change as well. Adding Policies to the dashboard just to view the status really feels non-intuitive and wasteful to me. This process can add to clutter in the dashboard view. I tend to work with a LOT of test policies that I'm tracking, and to keep adding these into the dashboard just to keep tabs on status feels like too much work to me. I'd like to see a simple "Status" link return at the end of the policy line similar to how JSS 8.x worked.
However I just stumbled on this, which helps in the interim. Go into Policies and change the view from List to Icon (its the small button in the upper right on the grey bar under where it says "Policies")
When in icon view, you can see all your policies at once, like a global policy dashboard, and see the status of each. If you need to dig deeper, just click on a link in a policy like "Failed" to see which computers failed said policy.
This icon view comes a little closer to the old way of working, so for now it will help. I'd still like to see an easier more direct way while IN an individual policy to view the status though. Changing the view of Policies to Icon actually runs a bit slow for me, as I guess it needs to dynamically check the status of each policy and build the view.
