At a glance

Use this guide when

You or a teammate is learning where work lives, switching between desktop and mobile, or choosing a faster daily view.

Best practice

Start from the workflow group in the sidebar, then choose the view that matches the decision you need to make.

Watch for

A badge is an attention signal, not a complete measure of workload or business health.

01

Read the sidebar as a workflow

  • Daily Ops: Leads, Schedule, Jobs, and Messages keep active customer work moving.
  • Financials: Quotes, Invoices, Cash Flow, and Reports track revenue and collections.
  • Growth & Channel: Website, Intake, Automations, Reviews, and Campaigns drive new business.
  • Settings & Team: Profile, Team, Plan & Usage, and Integrations manage workspace controls.
02

Use the fastest controls

  1. Use the global search bar or press "/" on desktop to find any client, job, or invoice instantly.
  2. Use top-level tabs on pages like Leads and Jobs to switch between Inbox, Board, and Table views.
  3. Use mobile bottom navigation when reviewing the dashboard from a phone browser.

Completion check

Confirm before moving on

Use these checks to make sure the dashboard and the real-world workflow agree.

  • You can find each primary workspace without relying on browser history.
  • You know when to use Inbox, Board, Table, calendar, and mobile navigation.
  • You can use global actions without losing the record you were working on.

Troubleshooting

When the workflow doesn’t look right

A sidebar item is missing.

Check your login role. Certain settings, payouts, and billing features are restricted to the workspace Owner.
