The dashboard is the screen you land on when you open HappenBoard. It is a grid of widgets you can rearrange to suit how you work.
The widgets
Welcome
A short greeting and orientation, useful on a fresh install and easy to remove once you no longer need it.
Get set up
A checklist that tracks how far along you are, shown as a count of completed items. On the free plugin it covers two milestones:
- Create your first event
- Receive your first RSVP
Only steps you can still complete appear, so the count means something. With HappenBoard Pro active a third row joins them at the top, Connect a payment gateway, which is why the widget looks different on a site that sells tickets.
Each unfinished item carries a button that takes you straight to the right screen.
Pulse
Five counts that tell you the state of your calendar at a glance:
- Upcoming (7 days)
- Published events
- Drafts
- Attendees
- New this week
Upcoming events
The next events on your calendar, each linking through to its own editing screen.
Quick actions
Four shortcuts: New event, Open calendar, View attendees and Settings.
Rearranging the dashboard
Widgets can be dragged to a new position and resized by their edges. Your layout is saved against your own user account, so changing it does not affect anyone else on the site.
