# The Dashboard

The Dashboard is your homepage after logging into the Corporate Admin. Here you can see all important information about your shop at a glance and quickly access the most important functions.

::admin-link{path="/" label="To the Dashboard"}

## Key Figure Cards

At the very top of the Dashboard, you will find three cards with the most important figures:

### Products

Shows the total number of products in your shop. Click on the card to go directly to the product overview.

::admin-link{path="/product" label="Show all products"}
::

### Orders

Shows the total number of all orders. In the sidebar, you will also see a badge with the number of **open orders** that still need to be processed.

::admin-link{path="/order" label="Show all orders"}
::

### Customers

Shows the total number of registered customers in your shop.

::admin-link{path="/customer" label="Show all customers"}

## Products for Approval

In this section, you will see products awaiting your approval. Before a product becomes visible in the shop, it must be reviewed and approved by you.

- Review product images, descriptions, and prices
- Approve products you want to offer in your shop
- Reject products that do not fit your assortment

### Recently Approved

Here you can see the products you have approved in the last 7 days. This helps you keep track of which new items have recently been made available in your shop.

## QR Codes

The Dashboard shows you two automatically generated QR codes:

### Shop QR Code

This QR code leads directly to your shop. Use it, for example:

- On business cards or flyers
- At your company location as a notice
- In internal communications to your employees

### Registration QR Code

This QR code leads directly to your shop's registration page. It contains a special token that automatically assigns new users to your shop. Particularly useful for:

- Onboarding new employees
- Posting in offices or break rooms
- Invitation via email or messenger

> **Tip:** You can create more QR codes for individual products, categories, or any URLs under **Marketing** > **QR Codes**.

::admin-link{path="/marketing/qr-codes" label="Create more QR Codes"}

## Revenue Chart

The revenue chart shows you the development of your earnings over time. Use this view to identify trends and track the success of marketing campaigns.

More detailed analyses can be found in the Reporting section:

Once you have completed all steps, you can hide the onboarding section.
