Understanding the dashboard metrics
Viewing the dashboard
To go to the dashboard, click the 'Dashboard' tab in the left-hand menu.
Using the dashboard shortcuts
At the very top of the dashboard, you'll find cards containing the latest news and updates from Sign In Scheduling, as well as links to any recent demos or webinars.
If you're a new user, you'll find a selection of shortcuts on the dashboard to help you get started with setting up your account.
You can use these shortcuts to add your staff, services, locations and working hours. Also included are some links you can use to get your calendar sync, Zoom and MS Teams integrations up and running.
Under 'Your online booking page', you'll see the name of your booking page along with its current status. 'Live' indicates that your booking page is currently active and open for customer bookings.
You'll also find your unique booking page URL here. Clicking on this will send you directly to your booking page. Your booking page URL can be given to your customers so they know exactly where to book their appointments with you.
You can click the 'Copy link' button to automatically copy your booking page URL to your clipboard for easy pasting elsewhere.
Clicking 'Manage' will send you to 'Setup' > 'Booking pages & URLs' where you'll be able to review and configure your booking page's settings. For more info on customizing your booking page, click here.
Understanding the dashboard metrics
A little further down, you'll find cards for your top staff, top 3 services and top 4 locations. These are the most frequently booked staff, services and locations across your organization within Sign In Scheduling.
The 'Bookings & no-shows per day' graph shows you the total number of bookings you've taken across a one-week period, along with the number of cancelations and no-shows, if applicable. Total bookings are displayed in green, cancelations in orange, and no-shows in red.
You can use the drop-down and staff selection bar at the top of this section to select and view these metrics across a specific time period and/or for a particular staff member. Your options for the viewable time period are next week, this week and last week.
To reload the information in front of you, click 'Refresh'.
At the bottom of the dashboard, you'll find a further selection of cards.
These cards can be understood as follows:
- Remaining seats - the number of bookable seats you're currently using. A 'seat' can be understood as a bookable staff member. If you were currently using two bookable staff members, you'd be using two bookable seats. The number of bookable seats available depends on your plan.
