What it's for
The Dashboard is the first page of your band. It shows the next gig, a few key numbers, the coming events and everything that needs your attention, so you rarely have to look anywhere else. You can answer events right on the page.
When to use it
- You want to know when and where the next gig or rehearsal is.
- You want to quickly answer events you haven't responded to yet.
- As an admin, you want to see which gigs are missing players, answers or payments.
How to
Permissions and limits
- Everyone in the band sees the dashboard. Gigs, tiles and lists need the View events permission (all default roles have it); without it you see only announcements.
- Answering from the dashboard needs Answer own availability (all default roles).
- The day's schedule, call time and equipment on the next gig need View gig logistics (all default roles).
- Gig fees, the finance chart and unpaid gigs need See all finances (Band Admin and Band Manager by default).
- Missing answers for the whole band need Edit events (Band Admin and Band Manager by default). Gigs missing key players are shown to Band Admins and Band Managers when the band uses lineups.
Examples
A quick check on Monday
Tomáš opens Pulse on his phone. Waiting for your answer shows 2. He taps Available for the Friday rehearsal and Unavailable for a gig in May, then sees on the Next gig card that his call time on Saturday is 16:00.
The manager's week
Eva, the Band Manager, sees in Needs attention that one gig is missing key players and 5 answers are missing in the next 30 days. She opens the gig to fix the lineup, then checks the Gig fees tile for gigs not paid yet.
Common mistakes
- Thinking the dashboard shows every event. Coming up shows only the next few – use Show all or Events for the full list.
- Expecting cancelled events on the dashboard. Cancelled events are left out.
- Closing Complete your profile without filling it in. The band then can't see your name or instruments – open Profile any time to finish it.
Troubleshooting
- The dashboard shows only announcements.
- Your role doesn't include View events. Ask your band admin if you should see events.
- Waiting for your answer shows a different number than Waiting for my answer in the menu.
- The tile counts unanswered events and date polls together; the quick filter in the menu counts events only. Open polls have their own quick filter, Open polls.
