Dashboard
Overview
The Dashboard is the home page of your Uslimato instance. It gives you an immediate overview of your IT inventory status after logging in — and can be fully customised to match your workflow.
Available Widgets
The dashboard is made up of configurable tiles (widgets). The following widgets are available:
| Widget | Content |
|---|---|
| Total Assets | Total asset count + number of active assets |
| Total Value | Sum of all asset acquisition costs |
| In Use | Number of assets with status In Use |
| In Service | Number of assets with status In Service |
| By Status | Asset breakdown by status with bar chart |
| By Device Type | Asset breakdown by device type |
| Recent Asset Changes | Chronological list of recent changes from the audit log |
| License Overview Assets | Assets currently in use relative to your plan limit |
| License Overview Users | Active users and total user count |
The default view shows the first six widgets. All nine are available in the pool.
Customising the Dashboard
Every user can configure their dashboard individually. Settings are saved per user and restored on the next login.
Activating Edit Mode
Click Customize Dashboard in the top right of the Dashboard page. The button turns green and displays Done while edit mode is active.
Moving Widgets
In edit mode, a grip icon (⠿) appears at the top left of each widget. Click and hold it, then drag the widget to the desired position. The remaining widgets rearrange automatically.
Removing Widgets
Click the × icon at the top right of a widget to remove it from the dashboard. The widget remains in the pool and can be added back at any time.
Adding Widgets
At the bottom of the dashboard, edit mode reveals the Available Widgets section. It shows all widgets not currently displayed. Click a widget to add it back. New widgets are appended to the end of the current layout.
Exiting Edit Mode
Click Done to exit edit mode. The layout is saved automatically.
Layout Persistence
Each user's widget arrangement is saved server-side and synced automatically across all devices and browsers. When you open the dashboard on a new device, your personalised layout is restored immediately.
The browser's localStorage is used as a fast local cache and fallback — changes are written there first and then silently persisted to the server in the background. If the server is temporarily unavailable, the cached layout is used.
Resetting the Layout
In edit mode, a Reset Layout button appears next to the Customize Dashboard button. Clicking it restores the default six-widget layout after a confirmation prompt. Your custom layout is replaced immediately.
Widget: Recent Asset Changes
This widget shows the eight most recent entries from the asset audit log. Each entry contains:
- Action — Created, Updated, or Deleted (colour-coded: green / amber / red)
- Asset name — the affected asset
- User — who made the change
- Timestamp — relative to the current time (e.g. 12 min ago)
The widget is refreshed each time the Dashboard page loads.
Widget: License Overview Assets
Shows the number of your assets relative to the asset limit included in your plan:
- Progress bar — turns red if the limit is exceeded
- Percentage — how much of the limit is already used
- Unlimited — displayed when your plan has no fixed limit
Click License Details to navigate to the full licence overview.
Widget: License Overview Users
Displays the number of active users as well as the total number of all created users (including inactive ones). License Details takes you to the licence page with further information about your plan.
