Use and Customize Your Dashboard

Dashboard gives you a quick view of current work without making you open every section of Vignette.

Understand the dashboard sections

Depending on your account and available information, Dashboard can include:

• Sun Tracker for sunrise, sunset, and useful light-planning times
• Upcoming Bookings for scheduled sessions
• Notifications for activity that may need attention
• Recent Galleries for quick access to recent delivery work
• Finance for a compact business overview

Select an item inside a widget to open its full details. Use View all when you want to move to the complete page.

Put the information you check most often near the top. A portrait photographer might prioritize upcoming bookings and light times, while a high-volume studio might prefer notifications and finance.

Your dashboard choices are saved to your account and remain in place the next time you sign in.

Work from dashboard cards

Gallery and booking cards can open the same details available on their main pages. Some cards also provide quick actions, such as opening a client or managing a gallery.

Work with gallery cards

The Recent Galleries section includes an Add Gallery card and your latest galleries. Select a gallery card to open it, or select the three-dot menu for quick actions.

From the gallery menu, you can manage the gallery, mark it as a favorite, upload photos, download it, duplicate it, or delete it.

Work with booking cards

The Upcoming Bookings section lets you select a booking and review its client, schedule, location, client link, contract, payment, and gallery status. Select Go to booking when you need the complete booking workspace.

Select Manage on a booking card to work with that part of the booking without leaving Dashboard. For example, expanding Payment shows the payment plan, outstanding balance, due dates, and payment-reminder actions.

If an item is not shown on Dashboard, it has not been deleted. Dashboard intentionally presents a smaller, recent view. Open the related page or use global search to find older work.

Refresh information

Most dashboard information updates when the page loads and after you complete a related action. If something you just changed is not reflected:

1. Open the full page for that feature.
2. Confirm the change was saved.
3. Refresh Dashboard.
