The dashboard, and what needs your attention

The list at the top of the dashboard, what puts things on it, and the bell.

The dashboard opens with Needs your attention: every condition in the books that a person has to decide about, in one list.

What appears there

  • Overdue invoices, with what they are worth.
  • Bills past their due date.
  • Budgets at or near their limit, with how much of the month is left.
  • Loan and lease payments that have fallen due.
  • Anything the ledger check has found: an account that does not agree with the register behind it.

Every part of the app reports into that one list, so nothing hides in a corner of a screen you do not open.

The bell

The same list is one click away from any screen, and carries a dot when there is something on it.

  1. Open the Dashboard. The attention list is the first thing on it.

    Overdue invoices, bills past due, budgets at their limit, and loan and lease payments that have fallen due: with a link on each to deal with it.
