Dashboard and 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 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.
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.
- Modular UI — which widgets and tiles are available.
- Alerts — the attention data many widgets surface.
- Appearance & theming — the look of the whole app.
