Opportunities

The dashboard has many possibilities. You can fill the dashboard with informative blocks called widgets. Each type of widget displays its information in a specific way. You can add and position all widgets according to your own wishes. When you open your dashboard for the first time, you will see the following:

In the dashboard, the widgets are divided into the following categories:

• Visitor data
• Sales data
• Order data
• Product data
• Margin data
• Purchasing data 
• Others

Each category collects data about that specific part. How this information is displayed depends on the type of widget. 

Widget types

Various types of widgets are available in the dashboard:

• Shortcuts 
• Counters
• Relative numbers 
• Graphs
• Lists
• Textual blocks
• Figures

Below you will find a short description per widget type and the settings that you can personalize.

Shortcuts

A shortcut allows you to place a button on your dashboard. This leads you directly to a specific page in the maintenance tool that you use a lot, for example the product management or the settings page. You can directly click through to a menu that is relevant to you.

Counters

With counters you can quickly see what is happening in your webshop right now. For example, you can immediately see the number of visitors and the turnover of a specific period. It is possible to specify a specific time period per block to make the data relevant to you. You can set whether you want to display this for yesterday, today, this week, month, quarter or year. You can also set your own specific time period. In addition, it is possible to give each block its own specific color.
