The Dashboard tab is the first page of the Community Log. It shows the incident activity of your community on one page: three action cards, four counters, a list of the newest incidents and a chart of the incident types.
In the app, the navigation item of the Community Log shows the name Reporting.
Before you start
- The Community Log must be on for your community.
- Your role needs Incident documentation set to View. By default, the Admin, Supervisor and Gate Attendant roles have this permission. If you do not see Reporting in the navigation, ask your community Admin about the permissions of your role.
Open the Dashboard
1. Select Reporting in the navigation.
2. The Dashboard tab opens. To go back to it from a different tab, select Dashboard at the top of the page.
The action cards
The cards at the top of the tab open the most frequent tasks. Some cards show only when your role has the related permission:
- Report Incident opens the Report New Incident form. You stay on the Dashboard. This card shows when your role has Incident documentation set to Add & edit.
- Generate Report opens the Generate Report dialog. Use it to download a PDF or CSV report for one day or for a date range. This card shows when your role has Reported incidents set to Add & edit.
- View All Incidents opens the Incidents tab. All roles that can see the Dashboard see this card.
The counters
Four counters show the number of incidents in your community. Each counter includes the active incidents and the closed incidents:
- Total incidents: all the incidents of your community. Select this counter to open the Incidents tab.
- This month: the incidents since the first day of the current month.
- This week: the incidents since the start of the current week. The week starts on Sunday.
- Today: the incidents since midnight.
The counters use the date and the time of your device.
Recent incidents
Recent incidents shows the three newest incidents. Each row shows:
- The type of the incident.
- The date and the time of the incident, in the time zone of your community.
- The street of the property, or Pinned location if the incident has a pin on the map and no property.
- The status of the incident: Active or Closed.
Select a row to open the page of the incident. Select View all to open the Incidents tab.
If your community has no incidents, the list shows "No incidents recorded yet".
Incidents by type
Incidents by type is a ring chart. It shows how many of the 50 newest incidents have each type. On a computer, the legend is at the right of the chart. On a phone, the legend is under the chart. The legend gives the color of each type. The type with the most incidents comes first.
- To see the number of incidents of a type, put the pointer on its part of the ring.
- To hide a type from the chart, select it in the legend. Select it again to show it.
The chart shows up to six types by name. It counts the incidents of all other types as Other, which comes last in gray. When a person selects Other and types a description, the chart also counts that incident as Other.
The chart shows only the 50 newest incidents. It does not show the full history of your community. For the exact numbers of a period, use Generate Report.
If your community has no incidents, the chart shows "No incidents to chart yet".
