The dashboard
Your Dashboard is the room at a glance.
Who lands here — and what you see if you don't
Signing in takes each person to the screen their job starts on, so different people see different things and nothing is broken.
| Who | What they see |
|---|---|
| Owner, first time | Before your first line exists, you're taken into the guided setup instead. Once one line exists (or you skip the guide), the dashboard is your home screen from then on. |
| Owner or manager with locations | This dashboard. |
| A manager not yet given a location | A calm page, not an error — "You're not assigned to a location yet", explaining that the owner or another manager has to place them at a location first. Nothing is wrong with their account. |
| Staff | The Queue, every time. |
- A manager sees only their own locations everywhere on this page — every counter, row and alert below is scoped to the places they run. An owner sees the whole business.
- Brand-new account, no location at all? The page says "Set up your first line to see your dashboard" with one button, Open Guided setup. There are deliberately no zeros to read — an empty dashboard would only tell you what you already know.
Live now — the teal band
The big number, Waiting now, is everyone in line right now across everywhere you can see — including people who have been called, are being served or are on hold (a small line under it says how many are being served or held). Above it, a line names what the band covers (one location, or all of them) and how many lines or locations are live right now — paused, closed or not-taking-visitors ones are counted separately. Under it sit six equal tiles, each about right now or about today only. A small ⓘ beside each tile explains it in plain words, with how it is calculated and the period and time zone it covers; click or tap it.
| Tile | What it means |
|---|---|
| Longest wait now | How long the person who has waited longest is still waiting. Only people still waiting count — not those being served or on hold. A dash means nobody is waiting. |
| Today's usual wait | The middle wait for today's visits: half of the visits called today waited less, half waited more, from joining to the first Call. Analytics shows the same figure for a period you choose. |
| Visits today | Everyone who joined a line today, walk-ins and people with an appointment together, whatever happened next. It can be higher than visits served, and both are right. The split between the two is in Analytics. |
| Visits served today | Visits that joined today and finished as served, in each location's own business day. A visit counts once, when its last stop is done or staff end the whole visit. Visits that left, did not come or are still open are left out. |
| Counters staffed | Counters with somebody signed in right now, out of all counters set up. Example: 3/4 means one counter has nobody at it. |
| Today's appointments | Every appointment time that falls today, whether or not the person has arrived. Cancelled ones are not counted. The link under the number says how many are still to come and opens Appointments. |
Under the tiles, one row per line (or per location when you have several): its name, a bar, how many are waiting, a status word and a staffing word. The words are what to read; the colour only repeats them. Click a row to open it — the line's Queue, or Locations when you have several. Only the first five rows show; “+ N more lines” says how many are left.
| Status word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Live | The line is taking visitors. |
| Joins paused | On a row for a line: joins are paused there. People already waiting are still served. |
| Closed | On a row for a whole location: every line there is paused, so nobody can join. |
| Not taking visitors | The line or location cannot take visitors right now (for example the account is closing or on hold, or this month's visits are used up). The red bar and Needs attention say which. |
| Staffing word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Fully staffed | Every counter here has somebody on it. |
| Some counters not staffed | At least one counter on the line has nobody at it, however short the queue is. |
| Nobody on | Counters exist and nobody is signed in to any of them. |
| No counters to staff | No counter has been named at this location yet — your setup list shows “Name the counter for” each such stop. Calling still works meanwhile. |
| Live | The line is taking visitors. |
This month's visits
Beside Needs attention, owners and managers also see a card headed “This month's visits”, with the number used “of” what the package includes, a bar and “Your visits reset on …”. The owner also gets a “See your package” link to Billing. A visit counts the first time someone is called; people who join and are never called are not counted. The card is not shown for a business that is not on a metered package. See Your package and meter.
Needs attention
Needs attention is the same list as the red bar under the top bar and the amber Warnings badge beside the bell — one list, shown in three places. The heading carries the count. Each row starts with a bold word, Stop or Warning, then one sentence (“Where · what is wrong. What it means for visitors.”), the place (when you have more than one location), “since …”, and one button — or Owner only when the fix belongs to the owner. Stops come first, then warnings, and each line shows only its worst problem.
Stops — visitors cannot join or be called, or the account is stopping
| What it says | Button |
|---|---|
| closes on {date}. New visitors can't join; anyone waiting is still served. | Reopen account |
| on hold, no package chosen. Your lines stopped taking visitors. | Choose a package |
| stopped: its last payment didn't go through. It isn't taking visitors. (Or: a payment was disputed, so the package is stopped.) | Update card |
| this month's visits are used up. New visitors are paused until {date}. | Get more visits |
| isn't taking visitors: no line is open to anyone. | Open it |
| every line has been paused for {n} min. Visitors can't join. | Resume joins |
| waiting: {n}, and nobody is serving. Visitors aren't being called. | Go to the line |
| the QR code or join link leads nowhere. Visitors can't join. | Fix the link |
Warnings — something needs you, but visitors can still be served
| What it says | Button |
|---|---|
| full ({n} of {cap}). New visitors are turned away. (Or: walk-ins / online appointments were slowed down by your limit.) | Raise the limit |
| a counter has nobody at it, or the person a visitor asked for isn't signed in. Visitors waiting for them can't be called. | Assign someone |
| visitors called more than {n} min ago and not served yet; or a visitor is being served by nobody. | Open |
| visitors still waiting after closing, at a closed stop, or when the line closed. | Serve or close them |
| the longest wait is {n} min (your limit is {m}). Visitors are waiting longer than you allow. | Go to the line |
| nobody is scheduled, or someone scheduled isn't in, or someone has no timetable. | Open schedule |
| appointments past their time and not checked in. | Open appointments |
| your last payment didn't go through; your card expires on {date}; your bank wants you to confirm a payment. | Update card · Confirm · Try again |
| this month's visits are nearly used; messages are used up or on their last pack; automatic packs are paused or stopped. | Get more visits · Raise my limit · Resume |
| WhatsApp or emails aren't reaching visitors (the tracking link still works), or WhatsApp is disconnected. | Reconnect (only for a disconnected WhatsApp; a delivery problem has no button) |
| the lobby TV or the entrance tablet has been offline for {n} min. | Check the TV · Check the tablet |
| a connection to another system has stopped; a location has no manager or no staff. | Open connections · Open team |
| a colleague took over your counter; updated Terms; a hand-over waiting for your answer. | OK · Review |
When nothing needs you it says All clear — “Nothing needs you right now.” — and that is a real all-clear, not an empty list.
Who sees what
| Who | What they see |
|---|---|
| Owner | Every place in the business, with the button on everything. |
| Manager | The locations they run. Money and account problems show Owner only instead of a button; message packs and connections are for them to see only. |
| Staff | Their own line, counter and device. Stops show without a button except Go to the line; staff can act on a stuck or left-behind visitor and on a taken-over counter. |
- A new account sees nothing here until its first visitor has been served, and a location still being set up stays quiet too. Money, account, package and message alerts are not held back.
- Nothing about the queue speaks outside opening hours. The one exception: visitors still waiting after closing.
- Snooze until closing. On an amber operational warning (not a stop, never money or packs) the badge's list offers Snooze until closing. It hides that warning for you, at that location, until it closes. Snoozed ones wait in a “Snoozed until …” section with Show now.
- A fixed problem disappears by itself; the badge list shows “Fixed ✓” for a moment first.
On the Queue and the Dashboard the same problems also appear in place: a small amber mark on a visitor's card, on a counter tile under “On the floor now”, and a strip at the top of the line on the Queue. Reasons that used to be banners across the top of every page — the account closing or on hold, visits and message limits, a late payment, bank confirmation, a hand-over, updated Terms — are now rows in this list and in the red bar.
On the floor now
"On the floor now" shows who is signed in at which counter this minute, refreshing about every 20 seconds — a summary line ("3 on a counter · 2 with a visitor · 1 free").
Then a tile per person with their counter, whether they are Serving or Free, and how long they've been on.
- Empty it reads "Nobody is signed in to a counter right now." and “Your team appears here as soon as they sign in to a counter from the top bar.”
- If this one card can't load it shows its own retry and the rest of the dashboard carries on — it never takes the page down with it.
Trends, the walk-in and appointment split, satisfaction and insights are deliberately not on the Dashboard — they live on Analytics.
Also good to know
- The numbers refresh by themselves about every 30 seconds. You never press reload.
- A team member not yet assigned to any location sees a friendly page asking them to ask their owner or manager to add them.
