Dashboard overview
An Overview Of The Contractor Dashboard, Explaining How Launchpad Tiles Help You Quickly Access Quotes, Work Orders, Planned Maintenance, Invoicing, And Compliance Tasks That Need Your Attention.
The contractor dashboard is the main landing page you will see when logging into expansive FM. It gives you a quick visual summary of the areas that need your attention, such as work orders, quotes, invoices, planned work and compliance. Each launchpad tile acts as a shortcut into the relevant area of the system, helping you get to the information you need without searching through multiple menus.
Dashboards are role-based, so the tiles you see may vary depending on your access, client setup and permissions. These launchpad tiles are bespoke and configurable, meaning clients can choose which tiles are shown and may rename them to match their own terminology. Because of this, you might see different tile names from the examples listed below.

Tip: If a launchpad tile shows a number, you can click into it to see the filtered list behind that figure, helping you move directly from the dashboard summary into the actions that need completing. Launchpad tiles can also be configured differently for each client, so the dashboard you see for one client may not look the same as another depending on how that client wants their launchpads set up and which actions they want to highlight.
