We run a restaurant and I use the web interface at home to monitor the business, recently the dashboard page has changed and become less useful, ie best sellers gone, cash and credit gone, catagory sales gone, items sales gone etc etc, its become pretty unusefull as a management tool, the Dashboard app on my phone has more info but us old chaps prefer a 27inch screen ! Can we get it back ?
Hi @Paul_ElTrastero! Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community.
You're absolutely right that the Dashboard has been updated recently. The good news is that all those valuable reports you mentioned haven't been removed - they've just been relocated to a different section of the Dashboard.
When you sign in to the Square Dashboard, navigate to the Reports page, where you'll find all of your reports:
Cash and Credit Breakdown: Reports > Payments > Payment Methods
Item Sales: Reports > Sales > Item Sales
Category Sales: Reports > Sales > Category Sales
If you have any other questions about locating specific information in the Dashboard, please don't hesitate to reach out!
So instead of the basic information all in one place, then having the ability to drill down to higher levels of detail in diferent locations....the Update has given us less basic information on the primary screen...an update is meant to improve the software, not make it less usefull. IE the word dashboard comes from obviously a vehicle where all the basic vehicle telemetry and information is located. You don't have to lean over to the passenger side of the car and open the glove box to see the petrol gauge. or fold the drivers seat back to see a temperature gauge. The basic information you need to drive and control the car is all in view.
