Dashboard Overview
The dashboard is the first thing you see when you open Producer Dashboard. It gives you a quick snapshot of everything happening across your projects so you can decide what to work on next.
Think of it as your production command centre. Instead of opening each project individually to check what is going on, the dashboard pulls everything together in one place.
What the dashboard shows you
Section titled “What the dashboard shows you”The dashboard is built around a set of widgets, each focused on a different aspect of your production activity:
| Widget | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Featured Projects | Your 4 most active projects with activity badges |
| Mini Kanban | Early-stage tracks shown as a visual board |
| Upcoming Deadlines | Tracks and projects with approaching due dates |
| Abandoned Tracks | Songs that have not been touched in 30+ days |
| Activity Feed | Recent changes across all your projects |
| Production Stats | Track counts, stage breakdowns, and trends |
Each widget is designed to surface the information you need without requiring you to dig for it.
Real-time updates
Section titled “Real-time updates”The dashboard updates in real time. When a collaborator makes a change, when a new track is imported, or when a deadline passes, you see it reflected immediately. There is no need to refresh the page or re-open the app.
This means the dashboard is always current. If you leave it open while you work in your DAW, it stays up to date in the background.
Your daily starting point
Section titled “Your daily starting point”The best way to use the dashboard is as a daily check-in. Open Producer Dashboard, spend 30 seconds scanning the widgets, and you will know:
- Which projects have had recent activity
- Which tracks are stuck or forgotten
- What deadlines are coming up
- Where your music sits across the workflow
From there, click into whatever needs your attention. The dashboard links directly to the relevant tracks, projects, and views so you are never more than one click away from doing the work.
Navigation from the dashboard
Section titled “Navigation from the dashboard”Every element on the dashboard is interactive:
- Click a featured project to jump to that project’s tracks in the grid.
- Click a track on the kanban to open it in the tracks page.
- Click a deadline item to go straight to that track.
- Click an abandoned track to open it and start working again.
- Click “View All” links to see the full filtered view on the tracks page.
The dashboard is not just a display — it is a launchpad.
Customisation
Section titled “Customisation”The dashboard layout is fixed to keep things simple and consistent. The widgets are arranged to give you the most important information at a glance without configuration overhead.
Your data drives what appears. The featured projects widget automatically shows your most active projects. The deadlines widget automatically shows the nearest due dates. You do not need to set anything up — it just works with the data you already have.
When to use the dashboard vs the tracks page
Section titled “When to use the dashboard vs the tracks page”The dashboard is for orientation. It answers the question “what should I work on?” The tracks page is for execution. It answers the question “let me do the work.”
A typical session starts on the dashboard and moves to the tracks page. See the Dashboard vs Tracks Page guide for a deeper comparison.
- Check the dashboard at the start of every session. It takes less than a minute and keeps you focused on what matters.
- Pay attention to the abandoned tracks widget. Some of your best ideas might be hiding in tracks you forgot about.
- Use the mini kanban to quickly move early-stage tracks forward without leaving the dashboard.
- If a deadline is overdue, the dashboard makes sure you cannot miss it.
