Dashboard & Navigation
The dashboard is the first page you see after logging in to AdamRMS. It provides an overview of your business activity and quick access to all areas of the system.
The Dashboard
The default dashboard consists of two main sections:
Widgets
The top section of the dashboard displays widgets -- small cards showing key statistics and information about your business. Available widgets include:
- Inventory value graph
- Inventory totals (total value and mass)
- Storage usage
- User count
- Outstanding maintenance jobs
- Your maintenance jobs
- Your personal calendar
You can customise which widgets appear on your dashboard from the Statistics page in Business Settings. If no widgets have been added, the dashboard will show a prompt to add some.
BUSINESS:BUSINESS_STATS:VIEW
Administrators can set up Custom Dashboards to replace the default dashboard with a CMS page for specific role groups. This is useful for displaying tailored information to different teams.
Calendar
Below the widgets, the dashboard features a calendar view showing all projects in your business that are not archived or deleted. The calendar displays project dates colour-coded by their status, giving you a visual overview of your schedule.
The calendar can be exported to external calendar applications (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, etc.) via the iCal export feature on your account page.
Navigation
AdamRMS uses a combination of a top navigation bar and a side menu to help you move around the system.
Top Navigation Bar
The top bar contains the following controls (left to right):
- Menu toggle -- show or hide the side menu
- Logout -- sign out of your account
- Project search -- quickly find and jump to a project
- Business name -- shows your current business; click to switch between businesses or join a new one
- Light/Dark mode -- toggle between light and dark themes
- Asset search -- open the asset search page
Side Menu
The side menu provides access to all major sections of AdamRMS, organised under headers:
- Dashboard -- return to the home page
- Business -- expands to show business-wide tools:
- Stats -- business statistics and dashboard widget configuration
- Calendar -- business-wide calendar view
- Clients -- manage your client directory
- Payments -- view payment records (the ledger)
- Locations -- manage venues and storage locations
- Manufacturers -- manage equipment manufacturers
- CMS Pages -- content management pages (if visible to your role)
- Users & Settings -- user management and business configuration (if you have permission)
- ASSETS header:
- Assets -- browse and search your equipment catalogue
- New Asset -- create a new asset type
- Groups -- manage asset groups
- Maintenance -- manage maintenance jobs
- Barcode Scanner -- scan asset barcodes
- PROJECTS header:
- All non-archived projects are listed individually, with icons and colours indicating your role and the project status (see Projects for the colour code reference)
- Training -- training modules and progress
AdamRMS uses a granular permission management system, so the items visible in your side menu depend on the permissions assigned to your role group. You may not see all of the sections listed above.
Switching Businesses
If your account belongs to multiple businesses, you can switch between them by clicking on the business name in the top navigation bar. This opens a dropdown where you can:
- Select a different business to switch to
- Join a new business using a signup code
- See businesses available via your email domain (trusted domains)
