Dashboard Overview

The dashboard is the first operating view after login. It pulls business health, activity, plan state, navigation, notifications, and quick access into one compact workspace.

  • Use the desktop sidebar or mobile menu to move between AI, Money, Operations, People, and Admin areas.
  • Watch the top navigation for global search, notifications, guide access, profile controls, and company context.
  • Dashboard widgets summarize revenue, invoices, clients, inventory, operations, and recent activity.
  • Plan-required or plan-limit screens point to Plan & Billing instead of failing silently.
  • Employee Viewer accounts get a reduced workspace focused on assigned tasks, profile settings, and personal notifications.

Fast answers

Easy FAQs

What should I do first after creating a business?

Open Business Settings, complete the company profile, set the currency, upload the logo, confirm billing, then add clients, inventory, or leads depending on what the business sells.

Why do I see a plan or upgrade message?

The app checks plan tier, subscription state, and usage caps before opening or changing protected records. A 402 response usually means the plan is free, inactive, or has reached a limit for that feature.

Which records can global search find?

Global search can find feature pages plus clients, leads, inventory, invoices, quotes, deals, projects, tasks, files, expenses, team members, and AI chats within the active company.

How do payment links stay safe?

Payment links use long random tokens. Share the generated link, receipt, PDF, or email with customers, not a dashboard URL. The invoice number helps the business identify a document but is not the secret.

What is Business Memory used for?

Business Memory stores durable company knowledge for Maximo AI: facts, preferences, style, source records, private notes, approved memories, retention rules, and conflict checks.
