The dashboard

The dashboard is the interface between the user and the firesys software. It gives you access to useful information and data.

The interface

The dashboard is divided into different areas and offers, among other things:

• A point of information for news, tips and tricks as well as events
• Access to your most recently used documents
• The function for creating a timeline for your process
• The function for communicating with firesys users in your company

The dashboard can be opened by using the desktop link, the start menu or in firesys by choosing the “*Design” tab in the “firesys” group by clicking on “Dashboard”.
