Overview

Once you sign in, you land on the dashboard home. This page exists to point you at the next useful action — usually creating an event, finishing setup, or jumping to an event you opened recently. Spend two minutes here before you start clicking around.

The Three Areas You Will Use Most

​
The Sidebar

The sidebar has two modes depending on where you are:
  • Main mode (default): primary navigation for the dashboard.
  • Event mode: when you are inside an event, the sidebar swaps to that event’s product navigation (Photo, Certify, Flow, and so on). See Event details.
In main mode, the sidebar shows:
Developer Zone and Payment Config are visible to every plan but only open for Enterprise organisations. On other plans, clicking them shows an upgrade prompt.

Main sidebar

​
Recent Events

Below the primary nav, the sidebar lists events you opened recently. Clicking a Recent Event takes you straight back to its details page. The list is per-browser and updates as you open more events.

​
Setup Wizard Progress Widget

If your organisation has not finished setup yet, a Setup Progress card appears at the bottom of the sidebar (above your name and avatar). It shows:
  • A progress bar with X of Y configured (or completed on trial).
  • The next step to complete, as a single clickable button. Clicking it takes you to the exact settings tab or page you need.
  • A small X to dismiss the widget once your setup looks good — it disappears for everyone in your organisation.
Trial accounts see this widget keyed to Trial Setup (create first event, choose a plan, invite a teammate). Paid accounts see Setup Progress keyed to branding, footer, contact, and domain.

The Top Bar

The top bar is always visible at the top of every page. It contains:
  • Logo — clicking it returns you to dashboard home.
  • Organisation switcher — shows your current organisation as (123) My Organisation Name. Click it to search and switch organisations. See Sign in.
  • Plan status — a small badge that reflects your plan (Trial, Pay As You Go, Pro, Enterprise) and any expiry warnings.
  • Add Credits / Upgrade — a button that takes you straight to credit purchase. On Trial and Pay As You Go plans it reads Upgrade; on other plans it reads Add Credits.

The Home Page (Quick Access & Account & Settings)

The home page is just two grids of cards.

​
Quick Access

​
Account & Settings

Trial accounts see a banner above Quick Access with Watch how it works — a short walkthrough video. It auto-plays the first time you land here and won’t reappear once dismissed.

Common Questions

Yes. Click the small X in its top-right corner and confirm. It hides for everyone in your organisation. You can still reach individual settings from the Settings page anytime.
You’re inside an event. The sidebar enters event mode and shows the nine products (Photo, Certify, Flow, and so on). Click Back to Events at the top to return to the main sidebar.
