Your Business Dashboard

Navigating and accessing features within your business dashbaord.

The new Business Dashboard (released 28th August 2019) features an improved and a more streamlined interface. The dashboard functionality has not changed, however the new layout and location of all features makes it easier to navigate and reach popular functions faster. We've also added enhanced data visualisation elements that are now more interactive than before. This update is largely aesthetic and we have not added or removed any functionality.

The new menu layout and design will form the basis of a number of UX and feature enhancements due to be released over the coming months. This article describes these changes so that your employees can transition with ease.

 

Top Menu Explained

The old left hand navigation bar has been replaced and now appears at the top of the Dashboard. All features, and sub-features can be accessed by this top menu.

 

The REPORTS tab contains historic data of all transactions, customers, order ahead (online orders) and automated reports.

 

You can create highly personalised marketing CAMPAIGNS using our latest Campaigns feature.  Leverage your existing data to send smart campaigns based on spend, visits, demographics and reward your customer base with highly flexible payments options, time limited promotions and product based offers.

Interactive Dashboard

 

Like the earlier versions, the new dashboard allows you to view analytics based on the filters you specify.

 

Access Levels

As before, employee permission levels can be set to either Basic 0r Admin. Basic users will see fewer, restricted options and will not be able to make any system wide changes to your merchant account. Admin users on the other hand will have all available permissions.

You can change an employee's access level by navigating to SETTINGS ->EMPLOYEES (from the top bar). Then selecting the edit option on the employee record. You can then change the permissions from the drop down as shown in the screenshot below:

 

We designed the new and improved Business Dashboard based on extensive feedback from our merchants along with industry leading UX experts with a view to improving the overall user experience. Our goal, as always, is to deliver a seamless experience to you and your customers and we hope you like the changes!
