Dashboard — User Guide | YoBench

What the Dashboard module does

YoBench's home screen — a single page that gathers widgets for every key module: tasks, servers, sites, RSS, email, Git Analytics, calendar, links. When you open the app you immediately see the state of your whole work environment and jump into the module you need.

What you get:

• 11 widgets for the app's core modules.
• Drag-and-drop of cards for your own layout.
• Responsive grid — 4 columns by default, 5 at ≥1400px, 6 at ≥1920px.
• Order persistence — dashboardOrder lives in shared settings and survives restarts.
• One-click navigation — clicking a widget opens the matching module with context already loaded.

Available widgets

1. Tasks — synced-task counter from the Tracker.
2. Email — connected email accounts with unread counts.
3. RSS — summary of RSS collections: fresh articles, total unread.
4. Links — total number of saved links.
5. Git Analytics — tracked Git Analytics projects.
6. Servers — monitored servers with notifications (when enabled).
7. Health Check — monitored sites.
8. Calendar — today's events from the Calendar.
9. DB Backups — latest scheduled-backup status across your DB Manager connections.
10. App Backup — last backup of the YoBench database itself (FTP / Google Drive / S3 destination from Settings).
11. Tunnel status — current state of the secure tunnel, traffic indicator and quick connect / disconnect.

Widgets only show up when the corresponding module is enabled in settings (emailEnabled, healthCheckEnabled, gitAnalyticsEnabled, serversEnabled, etc.).

Drag-and-drop and the responsive grid

• Drag cards around — the order is persisted in dashboardOrder immediately.
• DnD activates after 8 pixels of motion (to avoid accidental drags).
• Card size is fixed; resizing is not supported.
• The grid reflows to window width automatically.

Global settings

Stored under Settings → Dashboard:

• dashboardOrder — array of widget IDs in their current order.

Default: [tracker, email, rss, db-backups, app-backups, links, gitanalytics, servers, health, calendar, vpn].

Workflow

1. Open YoBench — the home screen is the Dashboard.
2. Drag cards into your preferred order — saves automatically.
3. Click a widget to jump to the matching module (e.g. Email opens the account list with unread counts).
4. Widgets for disabled modules are hidden — enable a module in Settings to bring it to the dashboard.

Next steps

• Tune what feeds the widget counters via the per-module Settings.
• Use the Dashboard as the start of your work day.
