Dashboard Overview
The WoPora Dashboard is the central hub for administrators, managers, and supervisors. It surfaces real-time workforce data, alerts, and quick access to every major feature of the platform.
Accessing the Dashboard
After signing in, you are taken directly to the Dashboard at /dashboard. The sidebar on the left provides navigation to every module. The top bar shows your current organisation, notifications, and your user profile.
Dashboard Panels
Key Metrics
The top section of the Dashboard displays live metrics for your organisation:
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Clocked In Now | Employees currently on the clock |
| Open Timesheets | Timesheets awaiting submission |
| Pending Approvals | Timesheets submitted and waiting manager sign-off |
| Today's Roster Coverage | Percentage of scheduled shifts filled |
| Leave Requests | Requests pending approval |
| Labour Cost (MTD) | Month-to-date labour spend |
Quick Actions
Quick-action buttons allow one-click access to the most common daily tasks:
- Approve Timesheets --- Jump to the approval queue
- Publish Roster --- Open the scheduler with pending draft rosters highlighted
- Run Payroll --- Navigate to the Pay Runs page
- View Compliance --- See any active compliance alerts
Recent Activity Feed
The activity feed shows a chronological log of significant events across your organisation: clock-ins, timesheet submissions, roster changes, and system alerts. Click any entry to jump to the relevant record.
Compliance Alerts
If any compliance issues are detected (e.g., missed breaks, unapproved overtime, award violations), they appear as highlighted cards in the compliance section. Each card shows:
- The type of issue
- The affected employee and period
- A direct link to resolve it
Switching Organisations
If you manage multiple organisations, click your organisation name in the top bar and select a different one from the dropdown. All dashboard data refreshes to reflect the selected organisation.
Role-Based View
The Dashboard adapts based on your role:
- Admin --- Full view including payroll summary, compliance signals, and org-wide metrics
- Manager --- Team-scoped metrics: roster coverage, pending approvals, labour cost for assigned locations
- Supervisor --- Today's roster and shift exceptions for their team
- Accounts --- Pay run status and labour cost summary
- Staff --- Directed to the Staff Portal instead
