The Dashboard (Home in the menu) is the first page you see. It answers three questions at a glance:
- What's happening today? Today's gigs and flights, at the top.
- What needs me? Things waiting on you, like money that's due, inquiries and agreements to sign.
- How's the business doing? This month and this year, compared with last year so far.
It starts with a layout for your kind of account (a performer, an agency, a venue, an agent or an assistant). You can change it any time: see How to customize your dashboard. Click any number or section to open the list behind it. Money is in your organization's currency and counts booked gigs, unless a number says otherwise.
