What's New: Work Queue Now Above the Fold on the Dashboard
What's New: Work Queue Now Above the Fold on the Dashboard
Released in v0.1.153
The problem we solved
The dashboard is the first screen you see every time you log in. For landlords, agents, and property managers, the single most important question on that screen is: "What do I need to act on right now?"
Until this release, the answer was buried. The previous layout placed five KPI cards — complete with sparklines and period-over-period deltas — directly below the greeting and recent tenancies strip. On a standard 1080p monitor, that pushed the Action Queue roughly 600–700 px below the visible area. Every session started with an involuntary scroll.
For users with open disputes, overdue check-outs, or pending deposit decisions, that delay matters.
What we changed
We reordered the dashboard layout so that the content requiring the fastest response is always the first thing you see.
New dashboard structure
| Position | Section | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Greeting + urgency chips | At-a-glance count of pending actions |
| 2 | Work Queue (Action Queue) | Now fully visible without scrolling |
| 3 | KPI summary strip | Collapsed by default; click to expand sparklines and deltas |
| 4 | Recent tenancies + recent activity | Contextual history, below the fold |
KPI cards: still there, just out of the way
The five KPI cards haven't been removed — their data is unchanged. They've been collapsed into a single compact horizontal strip that sits beneath the Work Queue. Click any metric to expand its sparkline and period delta inline. If you prefer to keep them expanded, that state is preserved during your session.
Urgency chips
A new row of chips sits alongside the greeting. These give you an immediate count of items that need attention — open disputes, overdue check-outs, awaiting signatures — before you even read the queue itself.
Who benefits
- Agents managing high-volume portfolios who open the dashboard multiple times a day.
- Landlords who log in specifically to check whether a dispute has progressed.
- Property managers running end-of-tenancy check-out workflows where timing is contractually significant.
No action required
This is a layout change only. All existing data, KPI metrics, and queue items remain exactly as before. There is nothing to configure — the new order is applied automatically.
