The dashboard
The dashboard greets you and shows Today: the appointments and events on the calendar for the day, with Add Event to put one in and Full Calendar to see the week.
Quick Access holds the pages the front desk uses all day: the Shop Board for jobs in progress, the Customer Kiosk for walk-in check-in, Messages for two-way texting, Shop Inventory, Service History, the Full Calendar, and Analytics.
Click the ☰ button at the top left to open the navigation. Everything else lives in six groups: Service Work (estimates, invoices, inspections, tasks, jobs), Customers & Vehicles, Inventory & Purchasing, Team (payroll, calendar events), Shop Setup (users, shop settings), and Website Content for your shop's website.
