The Cockpit

The Cockpit is the day's headline picture: the key figures your administrator has chosen for your business, with how each is moving against the prior period.

Reading it:

  • Each tile shows the figure, the comparison (how it moved), and a small trend — enough to know whether to relax or click.
  • Click any tile to open the report behind it. The dashboard is a front door, not a dead end — every number leads somewhere with detail.
  • The Cash tile headlines your bank total less anything confirmed as set aside, with what you could actually draw on today shown beneath it — see What "Cash on hand" counts.
  • The sync indicator in the top bar tells you how current the picture is; nightly feeds mean "as of this morning" for those figures (see How fresh are my numbers?).

If the dashboard shows a gap for a day, that's honest reporting of a missing feed — the product never papers over a hole with a nearby day's numbers.
