Platform basics: Dashboards and widgets

The Dashboard in G.J. Software provides a centralised view of key performance indicators, construction progress, and business health through a set of configurable widgets. The Dashboard is the default screen that appears when you first log into G.J. Software. Each dashboard type presents data relevant to your role, giving franchise owners, managers, and sales staff immediate insight into what matters most.

To open the Dashboard, Select Dashboard from the navigational sidebar. The system displays the dashboard view that corresponds to your assigned role and permissions.

G.J. Software provides four dashboard types. The dashboard you see depends on the system roles assigned to your account. Each dashboard type supports up to six widgets displayed simultaneously.
​

The Franchise Owner dashboard is the primary view for franchise owners and managers. It focuses on individual office performance, Maintenance / Warranty oversight, and construction timelines. It includes the following widgets:

The Sales dashboard is tailored for sales staff and provides personal performance tracking and lead management metrics:

The State / Region dashboard aggregates data across all franchise offices within a specific state or region. It includes the following widgets:
