Dashboard: every Needs attention message
The Needs attention card lists only things that stop people being served or leave a record wrong. It is the same list as the red bar under the top bar and the amber Warnings badge beside the bell. Each row says where, what happened and what it means for visitors, and has one button. When nothing is wrong it says All clear.
Who sees what
You see the alerts for the places you work, and you get the button only if you are allowed to press it. Where the fix belongs to the owner, a manager sees Owner only instead of the button, and staff see the row with no button. A manager is judged place by place: someone who manages one location is staff at another.
- Quiet outside opening hours. Warnings about serving, lines and devices do not speak while a location is closed. The one exception is visitors still waiting after closing.
- Quiet until the first visitor. A brand-new account sees none of those until its first visit has been served.
- Snooze until closing. Warnings about serving, lines and the lobby TV or entrance tablet can be snoozed (Snooze until closing). They wait under Snoozed in the Warnings list, with Show now to bring one back. A Stop, a payment alert or a pack alert can never be snoozed.

Warnings about the floor
| What it says | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|

Schedule messages
These appear only while staff scheduling is on, and only for lines that follow the schedule. They go to the owner and to managers who have Manage the schedule.
| What it says | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Nobody is scheduled on Saturday 09:00–13:00. The line may have no one to serve it. | A gap in the plan, up to a week ahead. Never raised for a closed day. | Open schedule and put someone on. |
| Maya is scheduled but isn’t in. Visitors waiting for them can’t be called. | Only if “Warn me when someone is not in” is on. It clears when Maya arrives or goes on leave. | Open schedule, or open the queue. |
| Daniel has no timetable. The schedule can’t plan around them. | A person with no roster or times of their own. | Open schedule and give them a roster, or say they work whenever you are open. |
See Schedule checks and How the schedule reaches the counter and the reports.
Money, packs and messages
These are for the owner. A manager sees them with Owner only in place of the button, and staff do not see the money rows. They are never quiet outside opening hours and can never be snoozed.
| What it says | What it means | What the owner presses |
|---|---|---|
| Your last payment didn’t go through: day 3 of the grace period. Fix it by the date shown or you move to Free. | A package payment failed and the grace period is running. | Update card |
| The card for WhatsApp messages was declined. No more will be bought until you update it. | The next pack was not bought. | Update card |
| Your card expires on the date shown. Update it so your package keeps renewing. | A warning ahead of time. | Update card |
| Your bank wants you to confirm the payment. It isn’t topped up until you do. | The bank is waiting for you. If the time ran out it says “Press Try again”. | Confirm or Try again |
| This month’s visits are used up (used of limit). New visitors pause tonight. | The included and extra visits are almost gone. Another row says no extra visits will be bought this month. | Get more visits |
| WhatsApp messages are used up. Visitors still get the tracking link. | The pack is gone. Another row says this is the last pack you allow. | Raise my limit |
| Automatic WhatsApp packs paused: unusual use in the last hour. Messages may run out. | Automatic buying stopped by itself. Other rows: a dispute, a dispute lost twice, or a tax change that needs you to save your limit again. | Resume |
| WhatsApp is disconnected, so visitors won’t get WhatsApp updates. | Your own WhatsApp link is down. If it is on our side it says so and asks for no action. | Reconnect |
| Messages aren’t reaching visitors right now. We’re on it; the tracking link still works. | Delivery is failing, or a high number of WhatsApp messages went out and WhatsApp is paused for today. Everyone sees it; nobody has a button. | Nothing to press |
Devices, team and you
| What it says | What it means | What to do |

| The lobby TV has been offline for some minutes. Visitors can’t see the display. | The TV stopped reporting in. | Check the TV |
| The entrance tablet has been offline for some minutes. Visitors can’t join there. | The check-in tablet stopped reporting in. | Check the tablet |
| The connection to the named outside service has stopped. Nothing is being shared with it right now. | A connection you set up stopped. Owner only. | Open connections |

| Maya took over Desk 1 at 10:05. | A colleague took over your counter. | OK |
| Updated Terms: please read and accept them. Or: someone wants to hand the business over to you; or you are now the owner and need to add your card. | A step only you can take. | Review |
All clear
All clear — Nothing needs you right now. It is a real all-clear: it reads the same alerts as the red bar and the Warnings badge, so it cannot say all clear while one of them is showing. It is about whether people can be served — not whether everything is set up. Setup lives on the Locations hub.
