- Home is the first screen when you sign in: it greets you by name and answers one question, what you have on today.
- Four cards: Pending orders, Pending quotes, To print and Printers. They only light up when there's something to do.
- Below, the breakdown of open orders by status, your printers (if you have any) and the Upcoming orders, sorted by deadline.
- If you're an owner or administrator, at the very top you'll also see First steps, what you have left to get the workshop ready.
Home brings the workshop's urgent matters together in a single view, so you can start the day knowing which orders you have, which are running late, which quotes are awaiting a reply and how your machines are doing. All roles can see it. In the side menu it's still called Home, but at the top of the screen the title greets you by name: βHi, Anaβ.
First steps
Only for the owner and administrators: a card with the tasks we recommend to get the workshop going (your first product, the printers, bringing in your data, costs and your tax details), which tick themselves off as you do them. Click a task to go and do it. It can be folded, hidden from the home screen or removed altogether, and when you finish everything it tells you All set! Everything it does is explained in Initial setup.
The four cards
| Card | What does it show? | When you click it |
|---|---|---|
| Pending orders | All your open orders. Below, the most urgent thing: in red, how many are overdue (2 overdue); if there are none, in amber, how many are due today (1 due today); and if there are none of those either, All on time. | Orders, with the Deadline: Overdue or Due today filter, depending on what it says below; if everything is on time, with no filter |
| Pending quotes | The quotes you've sent that are awaiting the customer's reply. Below, Awaiting reply. | Quotes, filtered by Sent |
| To print | How many of your open orders have something left to print (3 orders) and, below, how many parts are missing (5 parts). | Production |
| Printers | How many are printing right now. Below, in red, how many have an alert or an error; if there are none like that, in amber, how many are disconnected; and if all is well, No alerts. With no printers, No printers connected. | Printers |
An open order is one in Created, In production or Ready to dispatch that isn't cancelled; dispatched and completed ones no longer count. An order with no deadline counts as pending, but never as overdue or due today. βTodayβ is the day in your workshop's time zone (General and localisation).
If a printer has a problem, hovering over the Printers card shows you which ones and what's wrong with them (on mobile, tap the card's i).
Order status chart
The pie chart shows the breakdown of open orders by status. It doesn't include completed or cancelled ones. It lets you see at a glance whether too many orders have piled up in any phase; clicking it takes you to Production.
Printers
If the workshop has connected printers β through the manufacturer's cloud or through the local agent, whatever the brand β a panel appears next to the chart with all your machines: first the ones that need someone, then the ones printing (the one finishing soonest at the top), then the ones that have finished, the free ones and, at the end, the ones not responding. At the top, a summary such as β2 printing Β· 1 needs attention Β· 1 free Β· 1 disconnectedβ.
- A working machine shows the file it's printing, its percentage and the time it has left.
- A stopped one shows its name and underneath Free or how its last print ended. One that isn't responding carries the Disconnected label and, if it has no last print, underneath it says when it was last seen ("Last seen 2h ago").
At most five are shown; View all opens Printers. Click one to open its record. If you don't have any connected, this panel doesn't appear.
Upcoming orders
Up to 8 open orders, the one due soonest at the top. Each row shows:
- the deadline, counted from today: 2 d late (in red), Today (in amber), Tomorrow or the date; No date if it doesn't have one;
- the order's number and title, with the customer underneath;
- how many of its parts are already printed (3/5).
Click a row to open the order; View all opens Orders. If you have sent quotes that haven't had a reply yet, βN quotes awaiting a replyβ appears at the top, which opens Quotes filtered by Sent. With no open orders you'll see No open orders and the Create order button.
With connected printers, this block sits underneath, full width; without them, it appears next to the chart.
This isn't the same as Notices, at the bottom of the sidebar, which tells you what your workshop needs to know or do: a printer that has stopped with an error, a disconnected shop, a payment that has failed⦠Notices are explained in Notices.
Where are the amounts?
Home no longer shows money: what you've collected, what you've spent and the profit, for the period you choose, are in Finance.
Not seeing any data?
If Home shows zeros, that's normal for a newly created workshop: nothing is overdue or waiting to print. The numbers fill in as you create orders and connect printers.
