Dashboard
The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It answers one question: what needs my attention today.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Everything on the dashboard respects your permissions and the branch you signed in to, so two people with different roles see different numbers. That is intended — the dashboard is a personal worklist, not a company report.
Reading the tiles
Section titled “Reading the tiles”The tiles across the top are the headline figures for the selected period. Each one is clickable and opens the documents behind it.
| Field | Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today's Orders | Count | Sales orders confirmed today, across every user in your branch. | Click to open the order list filtered to today. |
| Month to Date Sales | Amount | Net invoiced value for the current month, excluding tax and cancelled invoices. | Compares against the same point last month. |
| Pending Approvals | Count | Documents waiting for your approval specifically, not the whole branch. | Only appears for roles with an approval limit. |
| Overdue Receivables | Amount | Invoices past their due date, net of receipts allocated against them. | Matches the total on the Outstanding Report. |

Pending actions
Section titled “Pending actions”The list on the right is your queue: documents waiting on you specifically. Clearing it is the fastest way to keep the month-end close on schedule.

Important notes
Section titled “Important notes”Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Why does my colleague see different numbers?
Tiles are filtered by role, branch and the documents assigned to you. A branch manager sees the whole branch; an executive sees their own work.
Can I export the dashboard?
The tiles themselves are not exportable, but clicking any tile opens the underlying list, which exports to Excel or PDF.
How often do the figures update?
On page load, and whenever you press Refresh or change the period.
