The Dashboard provides an overview of your key records, displayed as lists, graphs, and statistics. It offers instant visibility into performance and activities, including jobs, revenue, and queued processes. If you are a User Manager, your subordinates’ data is also included.

📌 Note: You can customise the tiles shown on your Dashboard using the Manage Tiles icon located below the user icon.

⚠️ Important: Access to some tiles, such as Queued Jobs, depends on user security permissions. Contact your System Administrator if you cannot view certain tiles.
