The dashboard is the first page you see when logging into your account.
Its purpose is:
- To provide shortcuts to frequently used functions
- Give a heads up on things that needs your attention, and information about recent events
- Give some insights on how your equipment is performing
The dashboard is divided into sections:
- Shortcuts
- Statistics: Number of items, value and age
- Checkouts & Utilization
- Reservations
- Condition
- Issues
- Inventory
- Locations
- Events
- Performance
Each section, except shortcuts, have at least one of the following types of information:
- Key numbers: i.e. number of items, percentage of items in use, number of new issues etc.
- Trend: Indicating if the key number is going up or down
- Stats: Bar charts showing the numbers over several months.
- Lists: One or more listings of relevant records, such as recent checkouts, uncompleted reservations, new issues etc. Only a short list of records are shown in the dashboard, but there is a shortcut under each list to all records, where relevant.
Related to each lists is the amount of records in total in that list (if relevant). These numbers are color coded, so you can quickly see if there is information that need more attention than other (red=needs immediate attention, orange=needs some attention, grey=all good)
