Dashboard

The Dashboard, also known as the Control Panel, is the main landing page in the back end for the component. It is illustrated in the image above. It is composed of a few parts, the most obvious being the icons which allow navigation to the users, timesheets, timecodes and support pages. On the right hand side of the page is the 'About' and Credits panels. The About panel is illustrated below. As one can see it provides a link to a display of the component changelog, and a Donate button to permit support for the further development of the component.

About Panel

The credits Panel, acknowledges the work of others which we have used in the component and also the translations that are available. Initially this will be a very short list but hopefully the list will grow over time as the component matures. Translations are created upon the Transifex system and we welcome any translations that users might wish to submit.
