Using the Dashboard


Article Summary

Customize the Dashboard layout to quickly view key information about your child care business.

Getting There

From the Procare Home screen click the Dashboard tab in the top left corner of the screen.

Note: Persons in the System Supervisor User Group may control the minimum User Group allowed to view each Dashboard Element. See: Dashboard Element Configuration.

Using the Dashboard

  1. From the Dashboard menu (upper left) choose Customize Layout.
  2. From the Hidden Items tab (or Layout Tree View) click and drag the elements you want to include on your dashboard. Layout Tree View shows all elements while Hidden Items shows unused elements only.

    1. Use Splitters to separate items from each other such that you can drag the splitter on the fly to make some items wider, narrower, shorter or taller.
    2. Use Separators to create a fixed height or width for certain sections.
    3. Use Labels to add text to a section of the screen.
    4. Use Empty Space to balance out part of the screen.
  3. When finished close the Customization pane to view your current Dashboard.
