How to read the Dashboard at a glance in Dumpster Controls

The Dashboard is built so a 10-second scan tells you what needs attention today. Learn what each zone of the screen does.

1. 1

   Open the Dashboard

   Click "Dashboard" at the top of the sidebar. It is also the screen the app lands on after login for owners and dispatchers.

2. 2

   Scan the KPI row

   Four cards across the top: "Deliveries", "Pickups", "Landfill Runs", and "Junk Removal". The big number is the open count; the small sub-counters flag what is due "today", what is "late", and what is coming "tmrw".

3. 3

   Check the map

   The "Active Locations" card shows every dumpster, driver, junk job, your HQ, and nearby landfills on a live Google Map. Pulsing pins are due today; pins with a red "!" are late.

4. 4

   Read the money

   The "Monthly Revenue" chart compares the last 6 months, and the card on the right shows "Revenue for the current week" versus "Revenue for the previous week" with a trend arrow.

5. 5

   Check the right column

   The "Drivers" panel shows who is online and whose license is close to expiring. The "Alerts" card below it lists anything that needs action: late work, overdue invoices, maintenance, missing setup.

6. 6

   Use the schedule shortcuts

   Next to the "Dashboard" title there is a button group: "All Orders" opens Operations directly, and the arrow opens a menu with "All Orders", "Today's Schedule", "Tomorrow's Schedule", and "Late Orders" (in red).
