Main Dashboard Overview
The Main Dashboard is your central workspace in FabHub. It provides a real-time view of your operational activity, including:
- Order performance of the week
- Orders assigned to you
- Requests requiring your action(s)
- Location overview
Your Order Activity
The Your Order Activity section summarizes your weekly performance across different order stages.
What you see
Each card represents a specific metric:
- Order Requests
- Created Orders
- Assigned Orders
- Orders Overdue
- Orders Completed
Each card includes:
- Main Value — the total for the selected week
- Comparison Indicator — the change compared to the previous week
Tooltips
Each metric card includes a tooltip that explains what the metric represents, how the number is calculated, and what the comparison value means. Hover over the information icon to view details.
- Order Requests — number of new order requests submitted during the selected week. The smaller value shows how this has changed compared to last week.
- Created Orders — orders that have been successfully created and recorded in the system for this week. The comparison shows the change versus last week.
- Assigned Orders — orders that have been assigned to users for processing during this week. The comparison reflects the increase or decrease from last week.
- Active Orders — orders that are currently in progress and not yet completed. The comparison indicates how this has changed from last week.
- Orders Overdue — orders that have passed their due date and are still incomplete. The comparison shows whether overdue orders have increased or decreased.
- Orders Completed — orders that have been successfully completed within the selected week. The comparison shows performance against last week.
How to use this section
- Quickly assess your weekly performance
- Identify bottlenecks (e.g. high overdue orders)
- Track progress compared to last week
Notes
- Metrics are based on the selected date range and update automatically.
Best Practices
- Focus on trends, not just numbers.
- A rising overdue count is more important than a high total.
Your Orders
This section displays all orders assigned to you, organised by status and module.
Tabs available
- Active — orders currently in progress
- Overdue — orders that have passed their deadline
Module tables
Orders are grouped into module-specific tables:
How it works
- Each tab reflects the actual structure of its respective module
- Tables mirror the columns, filters, and layout from those modules
- Only relevant modules appear based on:
- Your role
- Your assigned orders
What you can do
- Switch between Active and Overdue views
- Navigate across modules
- Click any order to view full details
WarningOverdue orders indicate delays in operation and ignoring them may impact downstream processes.
Best Practices
- Check the Overdue tab first before starting new work.
Pending Requests
The Pending Requests section shows orders that require your approval or rejection.
What you see
Each request includes:
- Order type
- Order number (clickable)
- Request date and time
- Request origin (user/source)
Viewing a request
Clicking the order link opens a read-only modal showing:
- Full order details
- Relevant information for decision-making
Actions available
Approve
- Opens a confirmation modal
- Converts the request into an active order
- Removes it from the pending list
Reject
- Opens a modal requiring a rejection reason
- You must input a reason before submitting
- The system notifies the requester
Best Practices
- Always review the request details before approving.
- Avoid blind approvals — this is where operational errors start.
