Dashboard and Widgets

Dashboard & widgets

The dashboard is your landing screen — a board of widgets showing totals and anything needing attention. It's fully customisable: rearrange the widgets to put what you care about front and centre.

Where to find it: the Dashboard (the home screen), configured under Settings → Dashboard.

The dashboard's widget board

The widget board

The dashboard is a drag-and-drop board. Each widget is a self-contained panel — inventory totals, low stock, expiring soon, overdue items, maintenance due, in-transit orders, and more. Drag them to reorder, and arrange the board to suit how you work.

Widgets are live: they read your current data, and many double as quick links straight to the thing they summarise (select the Low stock widget to jump to what's low, for instance).

💡 Tip Put the widgets you act on most at the top. If you manage a busy loan pool, lead with overdue and upcoming; if you run a parts store, lead with low stock and in-transit.

Quick actions & nav tiles

The dashboard also offers quick actions (add, scan, search) and navigation tiles to your other screens — a launchpad as well as an overview. What appears reflects the modules you've enabled, and several aspects (nav-tile counts, the getting-started panel) are configurable in Settings → Dashboard.

ℹ️ Note The dashboard layout is a per-device preference — your phone and your workshop tablet can each have their own arrangement.
