Using the Project Dashboard
Overview
The Project Dashboard is a configurable board of widgets that summarises everything happening inside a project — recent activity, inventory totals, and outstanding to-dos. It's the fastest way to take the pulse of a project without opening every location.
Opening the Project Dashboard
- Open the project from your home screen.
- Click Display Project Dashboard in the top-right of the project's locations page.

Editing the Dashboard
Administrators and Project Managers can customise tabs and widgets.
- Click Edit Mode at the top of the dashboard.
- Each tab name shows a pencil icon — click it to rename the tab.
- Click the + button to add a new tab.
- Use each widget's 3-dot menu to remove or configure it.
- Click Exit Edit Mode to save and return.

Edit Mode exposes rename pencils, an add-tab button, and per-widget menus.
Table vs Chart View
The toggle in the top-right of the dashboard switches the active widget between visual charts and a flat table. Use Table when you want to copy numbers into a report; use Show Header to compact the layout when projecting on a screen.
Common Questions
Why are some widgets empty?
If a project has no recent activity or features, the relevant widgets show empty charts. As your team uploads data and creates features, the widgets populate automatically.
Can I share a dashboard link?
Yes — the URL /dashboard/project/{project-id} can be bookmarked. Anyone with access to the project will see the same dashboard when they open the link.
Can mobile-only users see the dashboard?
The dashboard is a portal-only feature. Mobile users will continue to capture data through the app; their submissions feed the dashboard's widgets automatically.
