Collapsing and Expanding the Sidebar
Click the arrow icon (←) at the bottom-left of the sidebar to collapse it into icon-only view. Click it again to expand. This gives more space on smaller screens.
The HeaderAt the top-right of every page, you will see your account name and email address. This confirms which account you are logged into.
Filtering by Outlet
Most pages include an Outlet Selector near the top of the content area. Click it to filter all data or actions to a specific outlet, or leave it set to show all outlets combined.
Date and Comparison ControlsOn analytics pages (Dashboard, Performance, Order History), you will find:
- Date picker — Select the date or date range you want to view
- Comparison toggle — When enabled, shows data compared to the previous equivalent period (e.g., today vs. yesterday)
- Time granularity — On the Performance page, choose between Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly views
