Navigating the Dashboard

Get familiar with your command center — learn what every section of the dashboard does.

Navigating the Dashboard

The dashboard is your command center -- the first screen you see after signing in. From here you can monitor performance at a glance, jump into any section of the platform, and keep tabs on recent activity. This guide walks you through every element on the screen so you always know where to find what you need.

Sidebar navigation

The left-hand sidebar is your primary navigation. It is organized into logical groups so related features are always close together. Here is what each item does:

Dashboard

Click the Dashboard link at the top of the sidebar to return to this home screen from anywhere in the app. The dashboard icon (a grid layout) makes it easy to spot.

Create

The Create group contains everything related to building your public-facing presence:

  • Pages -- View, create, and manage your pages (Home, About, Shop, Portfolio). Each page card shows its type, status (active or inactive), and a link to open it in the page editor. This is where you go to start building or editing any of your pages.
  • Links -- Create and manage short links. Short links are compact, branded URLs that redirect to any destination. You can track click performance for each one, making them ideal for social media bios, email campaigns, or print materials.

Products

The Products group handles your digital storefront:

  • Products -- Create, edit, and manage all your digital products. Each product has a name, description, price, optional sale price, cover image, and a downloadable file or external link. From this screen you can see at a glance which products are published, their prices, and how many sales they have generated.
  • Orders -- View every order placed through your store. Each order record includes the customer name, email, product purchased, amount paid, payment status, and timestamp. Use the status filters to quickly find succeeded, pending, or failed orders.

Bookings

The Bookings group manages your appointment scheduling system:

  • Appointments -- A list of all booked appointments. Each entry shows the client name, booking type, date and time, and current status (confirmed, pending payment, or cancelled). You can filter by status to focus on what needs your attention.
  • Availability -- Configure your booking types and availability windows. A booking type defines what you offer (for example, a 30-minute consultation or a 60-minute coaching session), its duration, price, and the days and times you are available. This is where you connect your calendar for automatic sync.

Audience

The Audience group is focused on the people who interact with you:

  • Contacts -- Your lightweight CRM. Every person who submits a contact form on your page appears here with their name, email, phone (if provided), and the date they signed up. You can search, sort, and manage your contact list from this screen.

Bottom of the sidebar

Below the main navigation groups, you will find two additional links:

  • Settings -- Manage your account settings including your profile information, username, and account preferences.
  • Support -- Opens an email to the Leenkies support team so you can get help when you need it.

At the very bottom of the sidebar, your user avatar and name are displayed. Clicking this area gives you quick access to your profile and sign-out options.

Performance overview

The main area of the dashboard opens with a Performance Overview section. This gives you a high-level snapshot of how your pages are performing without needing to visit the full analytics screen.

The overview includes the following metric cards:

  • Views -- Total page views across all your pages during the selected period.
  • Clicks -- Total link clicks and interactions visitors made on your pages.
  • Conversion Rate -- The percentage of visitors who took an action (clicked a link, purchased a product, or booked an appointment) relative to total views.

Above the metrics, you will find a period toggle that lets you switch between three time windows: 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days. Changing the period updates all the metric cards and the chart below them immediately.

Below the metric cards, a chart visualizes your traffic over time so you can spot trends and patterns. A View Full Analytics button in the top-right corner of the dashboard header takes you to the dedicated Analytics page for deeper insights.

Recent Orders widget

On the left side of the lower dashboard area, the Recent Orders card shows your most recent product sales. Each row displays the customer name, product name, amount, and status. This widget gives you a quick pulse check on sales activity without navigating to the full Orders page.

Upcoming Bookings widget

Next to the orders card, the Upcoming Bookings card lists your next scheduled appointments. Each row shows the client name, booking type, and the date and time of the appointment. This is especially useful if you offer consulting or coaching sessions and want to see your upcoming schedule at a glance.

Quick actions

From the dashboard, you can quickly jump to common tasks:

  • Click View Full Analytics in the header to open the analytics page.
  • Click any page card in Pages to open the page editor.
  • Click any order in Recent Orders to view order details.
  • Click any appointment in Upcoming Bookings to view appointment details.

Pro Tip: Bookmark your dashboard URL so you can jump straight into your command center from any browser. Everything you need is at most two clicks away from this screen.
