Understanding the Dashboard¶

Your daily overview of what's happening across your print farm — sales, inventory, production, and what needs your attention right now.

What You'll Learn¶

• How to read the Dashboard and what each section tells you
• How to use the Command Center for real-time monitoring
• How to spot problems before they become urgent
• How to navigate from dashboard cards directly to the relevant pages

The Two Views¶

FilaOps gives you two ways to monitor your business:

Both are accessible from the sidebar — Dashboard is at the top, and Command Center is right below it.

Dashboard¶

Navigate to Dashboard in the sidebar (it's the first item). The Dashboard is organized into four sections: Sales, Inventory, Production, and Recent Activity.

Sales Section¶

The top of the Dashboard shows a sales trend chart and four stat cards.

Sales Trend Chart

A line chart showing your revenue over time. Use the period selector in the top-right corner to switch between views:

• MTD — Month to date
• QTD — Quarter to date
• YTD — Year to date
• Last 30 Days
• Last 90 Days

Sales Stat Cards

Inventory Section¶

Three cards summarize your inventory health:

Production Section¶

A Production Pipeline chart shows work orders by status (Draft, Released, Scheduled, In Progress, Complete). Below it, two stat cards summarize:

Recent Activity¶

The bottom of the Dashboard shows two side-by-side tables:

Recent Orders — Your latest sales orders with customer, product, status, and total. Click any row to open that order.

Pending Purchases — Open purchase orders showing vendor, status (Draft or Ordered), item count, total amount, and expected delivery date. Click any row to open that PO.

Command Center¶

Navigate to Command Center in the sidebar. This is your real-time operational view — think of it as your shop floor monitor.

The Command Center auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. You can also click the Refresh button in the top-right corner for an immediate update.

Today's Summary¶

Four summary cards give you an instant pulse check:

Action Items¶

The heart of the Command Center. Action items are prioritized alerts that tell you exactly what needs attention:

• Overdue orders — Orders past their due date
• Low stock alerts — Materials running low
• Production blocks — Work orders that can't proceed
• Pending approvals — Items waiting for your decision

Each action item shows:

• A priority indicator (color-coded)
• A title describing the issue
• A description with details
• Suggested actions you can take

Click any action item to navigate directly to the relevant page.

When everything is handled, you'll see a green All Clear! message — your goal for the day.

Machines¶

The bottom section shows a Machine Status Grid — a visual overview of all your printers and their current state:

• Which machines are running (and what they're printing)
• Which machines are idle and available
• Which machines are offline or need attention

Click any machine to jump to its current production order.

Tips & Best Practices¶

• Start your day on the Dashboard to review sales trends, then switch to the Command Center to plan your work
• Use the Command Center during the day — it refreshes automatically and surfaces new issues as they arise
• Address red items first — the color coding is designed to draw your eye to problems
• Click through stat cards instead of navigating manually — every card links to the relevant page with the right filters applied
• Check the Command Center before leaving — the All Clear state means nothing urgent will be waiting for you tomorrow

What's Next?¶

Now that you understand your dashboard, learn about the pages you'll navigate to most often:

• Managing Your Product Catalog — the items you sell and make
• Taking and Fulfilling Orders — your sales workflow
• Running Production — managing work orders and operations
