How to use the dashboard home on DairyLogs

Dashboard home is your morning briefing. It rolls up today’s milk, active herd counts, animals that need attention, monthly net, a 30-day milk trend, top producers, and the tasks and notifications you should clear next.

Before you start

• You need access to a DairyLogs farm (Admin or any role that can view dashboard).
• Milk and herd data appear after animals and daily milk records exist.

Steps

1. Open Dashboard: In the sidebar, click Dashboard (or go to /dashboard). The home cards load today’s yield, herd totals, attention counts, and monthly net.
2. Scan production and money: Review today’s milk yield and the 30-day milk trend chart, then check monthly P&L so you know whether the farm is ahead or behind before you dig into modules.
3. Act on attention and tasks: Use Animals needing attention and Tasks needing action to jump into health, breeding, or stock work. Open Inbox from the sidebar when you want the full task and notification lists.

Tips

• Treat home as a triage board: clear red attention items and overdue tasks before browsing deeper reports.
• Top producers and today’s yield help spot milking gaps early in the day.
