Overview
The dashboard is a central location for you to see a summary of your workforce management system, it simplifies the process of analysing your volunteer program's performance by eliminating the need to manually sift through data.
You can create personalised dashboards that offer insights into roster status, including the number of volunteers or staff members checked in for various roles, events, and locations.
