Your Dashboard is where you start each day. It shows today’s orders, upcoming deliveries, things that need your attention, and your team’s tasks, all in one place.

Your dashboard at a glance

Your morning routine

A two-minute check each morning keeps everything running smoothly.
1

Check your alerts

Look at the top of your dashboard. Any red or amber alert cards? Deal with them first — unfulfilled orders from yesterday or unpaid orders need attention. Failed repeat orders or integration failures are rare backup alerts, but action them if they appear.
2

Confirm new orders

Check the Unconfirmed Orders section (highlighted in green). These came in overnight from your website or relay networks. Review each one — orders from your website may carry a red note sticker flagging important information you need to check before confirming.
3

Review today's orders

Click Today above the orders table and scan through your list. Watch for special requests or funeral orders that need priority.
4

Open your pick list

If you use product recipes, open your digital worksheet on the dashboard or in the app to see what stems and materials you need. Pick stock from the cooler ready to be made up.
5

Glance at tomorrow

Click Tomorrow to see what’s coming. This gives you time to order stock or adjust staffing if tomorrow is busier than expected.

Things that need attention

If something needs your attention, the dashboard surfaces it at the top of the screen, above your orders.
Don’t ignore these — they need action:
  • Unfulfilled Orders — orders from past days that haven’t been marked as fulfilled. Today’s unfulfilled orders aren’t here yet. Check whether they were delivered or collected and update them.
  • Failed Repeat Orders — a recurring order didn’t generate. Rare, but open it to see what went wrong.
  • Integration Failures — an order didn’t send to a relay network (Direct2Florist, eFlorist, etc.). Rare, but you may need to resend it manually.
Worth reviewing:
  • Unpaid Orders — fulfilled orders that still haven’t been paid in full. Pre-fulfilment unpaid orders aren’t surfaced here.
  • Overdue Events — past events that haven’t been closed or reconciled.
  • Overdue Tasks — tasks past their due date that haven’t been completed.

Orders coming in with action notes

Orders from your website can arrive with a red note sticker flagging important information you need to review before confirming. Check the note first — the onus is on you to action it. Examples include:
  • The delivery address is outside your usual area, so you may need to put it through relay
  • A mismatch between products that needs clarifying
  • A customer note added when placing the order

The date picker

Above the orders table, you’ll see date chips: Today, Tomorrow, the next weekday, Other, and All Dates. Click Other to open a calendar showing order counts on each day — dates with scheduled events show a small heart icon, so you can see weddings and event days at a glance.
When you pick a date in the past, an amber banner appears reminding you that you’re viewing old orders. This is your cue to be careful — actions you take here apply to historical orders.
When today’s date has scheduled events, a rose-coloured Event Highlights banner appears above your orders, deep-linking straight to each event’s details.

Viewing your orders

The main section of your dashboard shows your orders for the selected date. Use the tabs at the top of the orders table to filter:
  • All — every order for the day, plus tasks in the same date range
  • Delivery — orders going out for delivery (including courier orders)
  • Collection — orders being picked up in-store
  • Tasks — your team’s task list
Each tab shows a count badge so you can see at a glance how many items are in each view.

Your orders list with filtering tabs

If your shop has more than one location, an extra Location column appears on the orders table when you’re viewing All Locations. Switch to a specific location from the header selector to hide it.

Filtering your orders

Click the filter icon to narrow down what you see. You can filter by:
  • Order Status — Unconfirmed, Confirmed, Ready, Out for Delivery, Fulfilled, and more
  • Assigned To — only orders assigned to you or a specific team member
  • Order Type — Gift, Funeral, Event, Corporate
  • Delivery Slot — AM or PM deliveries
  • Product Name — search for orders containing a specific product
  • Not Printed — show only orders you haven’t printed yet
  • Integration — filter by where the order came from
A badge appears on the filter icon showing how many filters are active. Filters are personal to each team member — your view doesn’t change anyone else’s. Click Clear to remove all filters.

Sorting your orders

By default, your dashboard uses Curated sorting, which puts the most urgent work first:
  1. Funeral orders with specific times — these can’t be late
  2. AM deliveries that need to go out first
  3. Standard deliveries sorted by time
  4. Collections for customers picking up in-store
You can change this in Settings > General > Operations > Dashboard Sort Mode. Options include By Latest, By Oldest, By Fulfilment Date (Newest First), By Fulfilment Date (Oldest First), and By Fulfilment Time. You can also click the Order No, Total, or Date column headers to sort the current view ascending or descending.

Confirming new orders

When new orders come in (from your website or a relay network), they appear in the Unconfirmed Orders section at the top with a green highlight. You need to confirm them before they move to your main order list. To confirm a single order, click on it and change its status. To confirm several at once, tick the checkboxes and use the Confirm button in the toolbar, or Confirm & Send to Courier to confirm and book courier collection in one step.
The Confirm button can grey out for specific orders, for example a Send-to-a-Friend order or a relay-network order. The button’s tooltip tells you why.

Working with an order

Click any order to open its digital worksheet. From there you can:
  • View the customer’s name, address, card message, and any special notes
  • Edit the customer message and add notes to a product
  • Change the status through Confirmed, Ready, Out for Delivery, Fulfilled
  • Print a worksheet, label, or order card
  • Assign the order to a team member
To edit the delivery address or order contents, click the eye icon on the right-hand side (or use View Order) to open the full order edit screen. You can confirm an order and mark it as ready or collected using the buttons directly on the dashboard, the button panel on the digital worksheet, or from inside the edit order screen.
Marking a delivery order as fulfilled from the dashboard or worksheet still sends the customer’s delivery notification, but it doesn’t capture a proof-of-delivery photo or GPS location. The driver app captures both when the driver marks the stop delivered, which is the usual route for deliveries.
For everything you can do from the order edit screen, see Managing Orders.

Bulk actions

During busy periods, work with multiple orders at once. Tick the checkboxes next to the orders you want, then use the toolbar that appears:
  • Confirm — accept multiple new orders at once
  • Ready — mark several orders as ready
  • With Courier — move ready courier orders to “with courier” status
  • Send to Courier — book courier collection for eligible orders
  • Assign — assign a batch of orders to a team member
  • Print — print worksheets or labels for all selected orders
Bulk Fulfilled is available for Collection orders (from Ready) and Relay orders (from Confirmed). Delivery orders can’t be marked fulfilled in bulk from the dashboard. Mark each delivery from its worksheet, or let the driver app handle it on the run.
Use the Select All checkbox in the table header to quickly select every order in the current view. Combined with filters (e.g. Not Printed), it’s the fastest way to catch up after a rush of new orders.

Printing

Print directly from the dashboard. Choose between:
  • Worksheets — detailed sheets showing the recipe, card message, and delivery details
  • Labels — smaller labels to attach to arrangements
  • Bulk (Slim) — a compact PDF for all selected orders (falls back to the current date + filters if nothing is selected)
Your default print format (Worksheets or Labels) is set in Settings > General > Delivery Slots > Fulfilment Printable Format. The Print button uses your default; the dropdown beside it offers the alternative format.

Configuring your worksheet style

If you use worksheets with integrated labels, choose the worksheet layout that matches your label sheets in Settings > General > Personalisation. Most shops use the default; print a test order before running a batch. You can adjust the font and font size in the same section.
There can be slight differences between label sheet brands, so testing is normal. If the default layout doesn’t line up, try one of the alternatives.

Including fulfilled orders

By default, orders that have been delivered or collected disappear from the dashboard, so the board clears down by the end of the day. If you need to see completed orders (to check a delivery or reprint a label), open the Other date popover and toggle Include fulfilled orders today. This toggle is only available when you’re viewing today’s date.

Display modes

The Displays button (computer-monitor icon above the orders table) opens a menu of alternative views: Order Board, Production, and Shopping List. Use whichever fits the moment.

Order Board

The Order Board is a live wall display for a TV in your workroom, styled after the order screens in restaurant kitchens: a status rail with counts for every stage, big make-up tickets for orders still to prepare, and a compact strip for orders that are ready, out, or fulfilled. It’s designed to be read from across the room and left alone — see the dedicated Order Board page for what’s on screen and how to set up the TV.
The Order Board works brilliantly with the Digital Florists App. Put the board on a screen in your workshop, and as your florists mark orders as ready on their phones, the board updates in real time. It’s the easiest way to go paperless during peaks.

Production view

The Production view aggregates everything you need to make today. It adds up the products across your confirmed orders, showing totals like “12 x Standard Hand-Tied” plus unit price and total revenue per product line. Tasks aren’t included. Toggle Include Ready Orders to count orders already marked as ready, and Show Modifications to see any special requests with their order numbers.

Shopping list

If you’ve set up recipes (see Products), the Shopping List shows your ingredient demand for the day. For each ingredient you’ll see:
  • Quantity needed — total stems or units across all orders
  • Packs to buy — how many packs or bunches to order, based on the purchase quantity you’ve set per ingredient
  • Orders using it — how many orders need this ingredient
  • Retail value — total selling price of the orders using it (estimated from your current product pricing)
Pull exactly what you need from the cooler before you start making up.

Tasks on the dashboard

Tasks show up in two places. On the All tab, they appear in a separate section below the orders table for the same date range. On the Tasks tab they’re the primary list. Both views let you filter by assignee, priority, category, and status.

Your team's tasks with checklists

The Tasks tab count includes tasks assigned to any team member, not just you. For everything else on tasks, see Tasks.

Tips for peak periods

During Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and similar peaks:
  • Confirm pre-orders the evening before so your team can start first thing in the morning.
  • Use Production view to batch-make arrangements by total counts instead of per-order.
  • Filter by Not Printed after each rush to catch any orders you missed printing.
  • Put the Order Board on a workshop screen so the team can see status without checking phones.

Power-user shortcuts

A few non-obvious shortcuts that experienced users rely on:
  • Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) — opens the global Order Lookup from anywhere in the dashboard. Fastest way to jump to an order by number.
  • Privacy Mode — toggle from the user avatar menu (top right) to mask all prices with asterisks. Useful when a screen is visible to customers.
  • Switch User — the icon in the header lets a logged-in user hand the till to a teammate without a full logout.

Common questions

Check the date chips above the orders table; you might be looking at tomorrow or a different day. Click Today to return, or All Dates to see everything. Also check the filter icon — if it shows a badge, you have active filters that might be hiding orders.
Each order has a coloured status badge that changes as the order progresses. Unconfirmed orders are highlighted differently from confirmed ones, and fulfilled orders are visually distinct so you can tell at a glance what stage everything is at.
Order counts, alerts, and unconfirmed orders refresh automatically every 20 seconds. The dashboard also updates immediately when you take an action (confirming, printing, changing status). You don’t need to manually refresh.
Yes. Click Other above the orders table to open a calendar. Pick any date or browse by month; each date shows how many orders are scheduled. All Dates shows everything at once.
Yes. Each team member can set their own filters (like Assigned To: Me) to see only their work. Filters are personal and don’t affect other users.
Yes. It’s designed to work on tablets and iPads, which is handy for checking orders on the shop floor. For on-the-go use, the Digital Florists App is even better.
Yes. Counts refresh every 20 seconds, so the dashboard stays current without any input. Many shops keep a screen with the dashboard running throughout the day.
