Dashboard tour

Open RepairNode and the first thing you see — after the device-auth prompt, if you have Device Lock enabled — is the dashboard. It is designed to answer four questions in a single glance: what is open right now, what made me money today, what is at risk, and what should I work on next.

Header bar

The fixed header at the top of the dashboard contains five elements:

• RepairNode title — the app name on the left.
• Search — global search across customers, repairs, orders, and quotes. Results update with a 300 ms debounce; tap a row to jump to that record.
• QR scan icon — opens the camera scanner. Recognises both internal codes (printed on labels and receipts) and customer-facing tracking URLs.
• Analytics icon — direct shortcut to the Analytics screen with date-range filtering and PDF export.
• + button — opens a quick-add bottom sheet with shortcuts for New Repair, New Customer, New Order, and New Quote.

KPI tiles

Below the header sits a 2×2 grid of headline numbers:

• Active Repairs — count of repairs not in a finished status (Completed, Delivered, or Cancelled).
• Total Customers — count of non-archived customers.
• Today's Revenue — sum of final cost for every repair completed today.
• Avg Turnaround — average days between received date and completed date for finished repairs.

Tap a KPI to jump to its source: Active Repairs opens the Repairs tab pre-filtered to active statuses, Total Customers opens the Customers tab, and so on.

Activity, brands, and revenue charts

Three charts give you trend visibility without leaving home:

• Repair activity (7 days) — line chart of new repairs per day for the last week. Missing days are gap-filled at zero so the time axis is always continuous.
• Top brands — donut chart of the five most-repaired device brands. Tap a slice to see the brand name and repair count.
• Monthly revenue (6 months) — bar chart of completed-repair revenue per month, formatted in your shop currency.

Urgent repairs

Repairs you marked with Urgent priority appear in a dedicated red-accent card, sorted newest first. Each row shows the device, customer, status badge, and how long the ticket has been open. Tap a row to open the repair detail.

Reminders and awaiting pickup

The blue Reminders card lists repairs whose expected completion date is today or earlier — a natural follow-up list. The Awaiting Pickup card shows repairs and orders sitting in the Completed or Received state that have not yet been delivered to the customer, so they do not slip through the cracks.

Media storage card

A small storage card shows total bytes used by repair photos and signatures, plus a count of each. From here you can run a one-tap cleanup to delete photos or signatures older than a chosen threshold — useful before enabling cloud backup so you do not upload years of old images.

Bottom navigation

The persistent bottom bar has five tabs:

• Dashboard — this screen.
• Customers — searchable customer list with archive toggle and loyalty badges.
• Repairs — searchable repair list with status, brand, payment, and date filters.
• Orders — parts orders with status and date filters.
• Quotes — sent quotes ready to convert into repairs or orders.

The Settings screen is reachable from the dashboard header in older builds and lives behind the gear icon in the action sheet on newer builds.

Refreshing data

The dashboard refreshes itself silently every time you switch back to it from another tab — your data on screen stays visible while the background fetch runs. You can also pull down to force a refresh manually.
