# Dashboard Overview

> How to navigate your Society Admin dashboard, monitor real-time analytics, and customize your workspace.

# Your Command Center

Once your society registration is approved, logging into UniTix routes you directly to the **Society Dashboard**. Designed for speed and executive clarity, your dashboard serves as the nerve center for all event operations, ticket management, and financial analytics.

## 1. Top Navigation & Context Switcher

At the top of your screen, you'll find your society header and quick-access controls:

* **Greeting & Society Identity:** Displays your society logo, name, and current time-sensitive greeting.
* **Current Event Switcher:** By default, the dashboard aggregates data across **All Events**. Use the dropdown switcher in the top right to filter all metrics, charts, and timelines to a single specific event instantly.
* **Notification Bell & Profile:** Access system alerts, announcements, and quick settings.

## 2. Hero Analytics Section (The 8 Metric Cards)

Directly beneath the header lies the **Hero Analytics Suite**, giving you real-time visibility into your society's health across 8 dynamic cards:

| Metric Card               | What It Tracks                          | How It Is Calculated                                                |
| :------------------------ | :-------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Gross Revenue**         | Total ticket sales volume               | Sum of all revenue across active events                             |
| **Net Revenue**           | Your actual take-home earnings          | `Gross Revenue - Platform Fee (2.5% or custom tier) - Refunds`      |
| **Tickets Sold**          | Confirmed & verified attendees          | Count of tickets with status `approved` or `used`                   |
| **Available Tickets**     | Remaining venue inventory               | `Total Venue Capacity - Tickets Sold`                               |
| **Pending Verifications** | Manual bank transfer approvals waiting  | Count of student orders requiring manual screenshot check           |
| **Booked Tickets**        | Reserved inventory awaiting payment     | Count of tickets currently in `pending` or `pending_payment` status |
| **Cancelled Tickets**     | Orders voided by students or organizers | Count of tickets marked `cancelled`                                 |
| **Refund Requests**       | Open disputes or tier adjustments       | Count of active refund requests across selected events              |

Each card features **interactive trend percentages** and mini **sparkline charts** (`Recharts` powered), giving you immediate visual cues on whether sales momentum is accelerating or slowing down.

## 3. Real-Time Revenue & Ticket Status Charts

The center of your dashboard provides deep visual analytics without leaving the main overview:

* **Revenue Over Time (Line Chart):** Tracks gross and net revenue performance across dates so you can pinpoint how marketing campaigns or early bird deadlines impacted sales surges.
* **Ticket Status Breakdown (Pie Chart):** A clean distribution chart displaying the exact ratio of `Paid`, `Booked`, `Cancelled`, `Refunded`, and `Checked In` tickets.

***

## 4. Upcoming Tasks & Activity Timeline

Never miss an operational bottleneck during crunch time:

* **Actionable Tasks:** Automatically highlights urgent action items—such as pending manual bank verifications, unassigned gate scanners, or unresolved refund disputes—with direct one-click links to resolve them.
* **Recent Activity Timeline:** A live chronological log showing real-time ticket bookings, approvals, transfers, and check-ins as they happen at the gate.

## 5. Customizing Your Sidebar (Pinning)

To tailor the workspace to your exact daily routine, UniTix includes an instant **Sidebar Pinning** system:

1. Hover over any navigation item in the left sidebar (e.g., *Gate Scanners*, *Analytics*, *Wallet*).
2. Click the **Pin Icon** (`📌`) on the right edge.
3. The item immediately jumps to a dedicated **Pinned** section at the top of your menu.
4. Your pinned layout is saved directly in local storage, ensuring your custom command center loads instantly every time you log in.
