# Workshop Dashboard
The Workshop **Dashboard** is the landing tab of the Workshop cluster page. It gives your workshop team an at-a-glance view of current workload, vehicle availability, and weekly bookings so you can spot pressure points before they become problems.
> **Permissions:** Workshop Users, Administrators, and Fleet Managers can view the Workshop Dashboard. Standard Users see dashboard data for their assigned depot.
## Opening the dashboard
To open the Workshop Dashboard:
1. Click **Workshop** in the sidebar.
2. Select the **Dashboard** tab.
The Workshop cluster remembers the last tab you used, so if you previously left on a different tab, click **Dashboard** to return here.
## KPI tiles
Six KPI tiles sit across the top of the dashboard. Each tile shows a live count or value based on current workshop data.
| Tile | What it shows | Style |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| **Open Job Cards** | The total number of job cards that are not yet in a closed status. | Neutral |
| **VOR Vehicles** | The number of vehicles currently marked as Vehicle Off Road. | Red warning |
| **Today's Bookings** | The number of workshop bookings scheduled for today. | Neutral |
| **Active Technicians** | The number of technicians flagged as active. | Neutral |
| **Closed Today** | The number of job cards that have moved into a closed status today. | Green |
| **Revenue This Month** | The total value of closed job cards in the current calendar month, formatted in £. | Neutral |
The **VOR Vehicles** tile uses a red warning style to draw attention to vehicles that are unavailable. The **Closed Today** tile uses green to celebrate completed work. The **Revenue This Month** tile is formatted as a currency value with the £ symbol.
> **Tip:** If a KPI looks unexpectedly low or high, check that the relevant booking and job card statuses are configured correctly under **Workshop > Settings > Job Card Statuses**. The "Counts as Closed" flag controls which statuses contribute to **Closed Today** and **Revenue This Month**.
## Workshop diary preview
Below the KPI tiles is a **Workshop Diary** preview. This shows the current week as a 7-column grid running from Monday to Sunday.
Each day column has:
* A date header at the top.
* Booking chips for every booking scheduled on that day.
Each booking chip shows:
* The vehicle's VRN as a plate-style badge.
* A colour-coded pill indicating the booking type. Colours are taken from your **Booking Types** configuration.
Today's column is highlighted to make the current day easy to find:
* The date header for today appears in blue.
* The column itself has a blue border around it.
This preview is read-only. To make changes to bookings, switch to the [Workshop diary](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/diary.md) tab, where you can drag chips between days and bays, click empty cells to create new bookings, and click chips to edit them.
## How dates are calculated
Day boundaries on the dashboard and across the Workshop module use UTC server time. This keeps the calendar consistent for organisations with depots in more than one timezone.
> **Note:** If you work in a non-UTC timezone, you may occasionally see a booking appear on the day before or after the day you expected, because the booking falls either side of midnight UTC. When this happens, switch to the [Workshop diary](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/diary.md) and inspect the booking's exact start and end times to confirm the local timing.
## Using the dashboard day to day
The Workshop Dashboard is designed to be the first screen your workshop manager opens each morning.
A typical daily check looks like this:
1. Glance at **VOR Vehicles** to see how many vehicles are off road and need attention.
2. Check **Today's Bookings** against **Active Technicians** to confirm you have enough capacity.
3. Scan the diary preview for the current week to spot quiet days and busy days.
4. Click into the [Workshop diary](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/diary.md) to make any rescheduling changes.
5. Use the [Job Cards](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/job-cards.md) tab to start, progress, or close job cards as the day unfolds.
> **Tip:** Keep the dashboard open on a wall display in the workshop office. The KPI tiles and diary preview update as bookings and job cards change throughout the day.
## What the tiles do not show
The dashboard is a summary view, not a substitute for the detail tabs. The following information is not shown on the dashboard:
* Individual job card line items (parts and labour). View these on the [Job Cards](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/job-cards.md) tab.
* Bay-level scheduling. Use the day view in the [Workshop diary](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/diary.md) to see bay assignments.
* Settings such as booking types, statuses, and parts catalogues. Configure these under [Workshop settings](/geotab-add-in/workshop/workshop/workshop-settings.md).
