Dashboard
The Dashboard feature in HirePOS serves as a comprehensive tool that provides users with a snapshot of key business metrics for quick reference. This document outlines how to access and customize the Dashboard, as well as details on the various tiles available for monitoring your business performance.
Accessing the Dashboard
To access the Dashboard, follow these steps:
Go to the Home screen.
Choose the Dashboard tile.
Customizing the Dashboard
If you wish to add extra tiles to the Dashboard, you can do so by following these steps:
While on the Dashboard screen, click the "Customise Dashboard" link, which is located towards the bottom left.
Depending on your user permissions, you will see a variety of tiles available for customization. It is important to note that HirePOS Admin users have access to all available tiles for customization.
Note that the Customise Dashboard button behaves differently depending on which dashboard you’re currently viewing:
On the Standard Dashboard, it will open the main dashboard settings, where you can enable or disable various tiles as mentioned above.
On the Custom Dashboard, it will instead open the Custom Request screen, from which you can request us to set up your Custom Dashboard for you.

The Sales Conversion Rates (% per month) will display the customers that have been successfully 'converted'.

Additionally, only the record date (quote date, booking date, invoice date) is considered by this tile.
For a more detailed look at Quote conversion progress, consider using the dedicated Quote screen in HirePOS. You can access this from the main menu (CRM > Quotes).

Displays the count of Recurring Invoices due to be created and the count of Recurring Invoices not emailed yet.
