Dashboard

The Dashboard shows the staff you manage at a glance: who's clocked on, who's rostered today, who's on leave, and what's waiting for you to review. Each manager chooses which cards show on their own Dashboard, and in what order.

Read the cards on your Dashboard

The Dashboard is made of cards, with To Review on the left (at the top on a phone). Most cards have a button at the top right, such as Timesheets or Roster, that opens their page in a new tab.

The Dashboard with To Review on the left listing Timesheets, Leave-Requests and Skills with their counts, the Employee Status card showing 153 staff by Clocked On, Clocked Off and On Leave, the Upcoming Leave card set to This Week, and the Today's Roster card with its Locations filter, search, and Absent, Stayed Back, Present and Upcoming filters.

You see only the cards your access allows:

  1. Click Dashboard, the button with the gear at the top right. The Dashboard Settings panel opens.
  2. Tick a card to show it, or untick it to hide it. Clicking the card's name does the same.
  3. Drag a card by its grip handle, on the left, to move it up or down.
  4. Click Apply. The page reloads with your layout.

The panel lists some cards by shorter names: Today's Roster is Todays Roster, Upcoming Birthdays is Upcoming Birthday and Live Roster Auctions is Roster Auctions.


Work through the To Review list on the Dashboard

To Review counts what's waiting for you. Click an item to open its page, and the count goes down as you deal with each one.

  • Timesheets: shifts this week that haven't been approved yet. It opens the Timesheets page, where you approve shifts. It shows a dash when your business uses Visual Approval, as there's nothing to tick. Needs Timesheet access.
  • Leave-Requests: leave requests from your staff that are waiting for a decision, including requests to remove approved leave. It opens Leave Review filtered to Requiring Action, where you approve or decline them. Needs Leave requests access.
  • Skills: skills and documents your staff have submitted that are waiting for approval. It opens Skill Review, where you approve or decline them. Needs Settings or HR - Config.

Leave-Requests and Skills count only the staff you manage, unless you have Location - All. Timesheets counts every shift in the business this week.


Dashboard troubleshooting

Why is a card missing from my Dashboard Settings?

Each card needs its own access, shown in Read the cards on your Dashboard, and Dashboard Settings lists only the cards you have access to. Ask someone with Settings access to check your Access Control. See Manager Options in Access Control.

Why does my Dashboard say it's empty?

All your cards are hidden. Click the message, or the Dashboard button at the top right, tick the cards you want and click Apply.

I ticked a card but it isn't showing. What do I do?

Click Apply at the bottom of the Dashboard Settings panel. A card you've just ticked says it's hidden until you do, and your changes aren't saved until then.

Why does a card say I haven't been set to manage a location?

Today's Roster and Weekly Hours show the staff at the Locations you manage, and you don't manage any yet. Ask someone with Settings access to add you as a manager of your Locations. See Make someone a manager.

Why is the Dashboard locked in my menu?

The Dashboard is part of the Standard and Enterprise plans. It's locked on the Payroll & STP Only plan. To use it, change to Standard or Enterprise. See Choose or change your plan.
