Dashboard

Your home base — stage calendar, alerts, and the inventory and house overview widgets. On mobile, the three-column desktop layout collapses into a single scrollable column with the calendar in compact mode by default and each widget stacked beneath it.

Overview

The dashboard is the home screen of Staging Assistant. It pulls together what's coming up, what you've been working on, and where your inventory and houses stand right now.

The page is read-mostly. Each card is a window into data managed elsewhere in the app, and clicking through any house, item, or stat jumps you to the underlying record. Most cards remember the mode and layout you last picked, per browser.

Each row in the Houses widget is tappable and jumps straight to that house's record.

Mobile layout

The cards keep the same content and controls as desktop — nothing is dropped on phones. What changes is the arrangement and the calendar's default mode.

Stage Calendar always shows Compact (one month at a time) on phones — the two-month Full mode and its options menu are desktop-only. Below the calendar, the cards stack in a single column: House Overview, the Houses widget, Inventory Overview, then the Items widget.

The list-vs-table toggle on the Houses and Items widgets stays in the three-dot menu. Table mode is usable on mobile but works best in landscape — in portrait, list mode is easier to tap one-handed.

Stage Calendar

A month-view calendar of every upcoming stage and destage, with a detail panel on the side that lists the events for the day you've selected.

Days with scheduled work show a small colored badge under the date with the number of events that day: blue for stages, orange for destages, and neutral when both fall on the same day. Click a day to pin its event list to the side panel; click it again to release the selection and see the next several upcoming events instead.

Each row in the side panel is a clickable house. On desktop, use the card's menu to switch between Compact (one month, easier to scan on smaller screens) and Full (two months side by side). On phones, the calendar always uses compact mode.

Houses widget

The houses you're working with right now, grouped by what you most often need to find.

The header buttons switch the widget between three groups:

  • Recent — the eight houses you've touched most recently. Subtitle is the client name.
  • Stages — the next eight houses scheduled to be staged. Subtitle is the stage date.
  • Destages — the next eight houses scheduled to come down. Subtitle is the destage date.

Every group has a View all link: Stages opens the full Upcoming Stages list, Destages opens Upcoming Destages, and Recent opens the houses list.

The three-dot menu toggles between the default list view and a table view. In table view, the column picker lets you choose which fields show, and your choices are remembered per group.

Items widget

The same shape as the houses widget, but for inventory.

Four groups, picked with the buttons in the card header:

  • Recent — items you've touched most recently. Subtitle shows how many of the total quantity are available.
  • Most Used — items staged in the most houses.
  • On Hold — items with at least one active hold. Subtitle is the total hold count.
  • Checked Out — items currently checked out to a stage. Subtitle is how many of each are out.

A hold reserves an item for an upcoming stage; checked out means it's physically out at a house. See Holds & Checkouts for how both work.

Each mode has a View all link that opens the full inventory pre-sorted or pre-filtered to match the group.

The three-dot menu offers the same list and table modes as the houses widget, with separate column choices saved per group.

House Overview

A summary of your house pipeline. The Houses widget answers 'which houses?' — the House Overview answers 'how many, and where in the pipeline?'

The hero number at the top is how many houses are Currently Staged, with total square footage shown alongside. Admins also see total fees and rent across staged houses; stagers and movers see the count without the financial figures.

Below the hero, a four-column row covers the staging pipeline: Scheduled, Assigned, Accepted, and Proposed. The row beneath shows totals along with New, Rejected, and Destaged counts. A separate market-status section breaks out Active on Market, Pending, Sold, and Not Listed.

Every count on this card is a link. Clicking Scheduled, for example, opens the houses list pre-filtered to scheduled houses, so the dashboard doubles as a launcher for filtered views you'd otherwise have to build by hand.

Inventory Overview

Aggregate availability across your entire inventory, with a single bar chart so you can see at a glance how much is free.

The top row shows three numbers: Total items, Available (count and percent), and Unavailable (count and percent). The progress bar underneath visualizes the same split.

The footer row breaks the inventory down further: Units is the sum of all item quantities, On Hold is how many units are currently held for a stage, and Value is the total replacement cost. The Value column is only shown to admins.

Alerts and notifications

A space at the very top of the page for messages that need your attention.

New companies see a Welcome to Staging Assistant! alert with shortcuts for adding a first house and adding inventory. Closing it dismisses it for good. Any pinned notifications from the system, such as billing reminders or feature announcements, also appear here and stay until you close them.

What's next

The dashboard is a starting point. Most paths lead into the same handful of pages:

  • Open a project from any widget to manage its rooms and items on the houses page.
  • Drill into individual items, filter, and edit in bulk on the inventory page.
  • Place an item on hold for an upcoming stage.
  • Look at revenue and pipeline trends over time in reports.
