The dashboard tabs

Eight tabs, grouped into four, and what each one is good for.

In this article

The dashboard is not one page but eight, and the bar across the top moves between them. They are gathered into four groups so the bar stays short.

Group Tabs
Overview Overview
Audience Members
Content Community, Courses, Hubs, Events
Growth Payments, Affiliates

Overview and Members open directly. Clicking Content or Growth opens the first tab of the group and shows the others in a second row underneath, so you can switch between them with one more click. A short line under the dashboard title says what the group is for.

Note

A tab only exists if its feature is switched on. A group with a single visible tab shows no second row, and a group with none disappears.

Every tab has its own address, such as /admin/dashboard/payments, so you can bookmark the tab you read most.

Overview

The one tab that mixes areas. From top to bottom: Needs attention, the get-started checklist while you are still setting up, the key figures, Recent activity and Recently edited, then a pair of cards that fits the way you use the platform, and finally Plan usage once a plan limit applies.

That pair follows your platform. If you sell memberships, it is the revenue chart with your recent orders. If you run a community, the community trend with your top contributors. If you teach, the learning trend with the submissions waiting to be graded. Otherwise it is the member growth chart.

More cards can be added from the catalog, among them the Support card and, if you use the inbox, your open conversations, response time and tickets due.

Members

How many people there are, how many are active, how many joined in the period, and what share of your audience is active at all.

Below that sits the Member Insights chart, which switches between total, growth, countries and languages, and a map of where your members are. A separate Languages card can be added from the catalog.

Community

Posts, comments, reactions and active members. The community trend shows the whole conversation over time, engagement against churn puts activity next to people leaving, and the login trend shows how often members come back. The heatmap shows the twelve-month rhythm at a glance.

Underneath: your top contributors and busiest forums, reactions by type, participation, the live feed of what is being posted, and gamification with points, levels and badges.

Courses

Enrollments, completions, active learners and the average rating of your courses. The learning trend shows enrollments and completions over time, the course funnel shows how far people get, and the heatmap shows twelve months of learning activity.

The three cards at the bottom are the working ones: the lessons your members bookmark most, the feedback they left, and the submissions waiting for you to grade.

Hubs

Your hubs, their members, page views and poll votes. The hubs trend shows how these move over time, and Top Hubs ranks your hubs by members.

Events

Upcoming events, events created, registrations and the attendance rate: how many of the people who registered actually turned up.

The events trend shows registrations and check-ins over time, and a heatmap shows twelve months of event activity. The list of upcoming events sits next to a ranking of the events that pulled the most registrations.

Payments

The money tab, with two rows of key figures: revenue, MRR, churn and average order value, then ARR, net revenue, lifetime value and refunds.

Below the figures sit the revenue chart, the MRR breakdown into new, expansion, contraction, reactivation and churn, the split between one-time and recurring revenue, retention cohorts, your best-selling products and the most recent orders.

Affiliates

Active affiliates, conversions, commissions and what is still waiting to be paid out. Below that, commissions over time, your best-performing affiliates and the commissions that were logged most recently.

Picking a tab

If you only have a minute, Overview. If you are asking a question, the tab that owns the answer: money on Payments, people on Members, activity on Community.

Every tab remembers its own arrangement, so the cards you care about can sit at the top of each one.
