Workspace Areas

How to use Finance dashboard

Finance dashboard is part of Finance Manager. This section explains how to approach the view, what to check first, how to complete the main action, and how to recover when something looks wrong.

Finance dashboard screenshot placeholder

flowchart TD Start[Open Finance dashboard] --> Input[Enter or select user content] Input --> Review[Review the current panel] Review --> Action[Run the main action] Action --> Save[Save, export, copy, or update] Save --> Confirm[Check confirmation or recent activity] Confirm --> Continue[Continue using finance-manager]

#### How To Use This Area

Use Finance dashboard when you need to complete the related DawnDesk task without leaving the Finance Manager workspace.
Start by reading the labels on the panel, because DawnDesk keeps the primary action near the current view.
Enter only the information needed for the current step, then save, export, copy, or review the result before moving on.
If a save dialog opens, choose a clear filename and keep the default extension unless your workflow requires a different one.
After completing the action, check the confirmation message or the recent activity log so you know the operation finished.
When the result affects another workspace, return to the Dashboard and open the next module from there.
If the panel appears empty, create the first record, import an existing file, or remove filters that may be hiding content.
For repeated work, use consistent naming so search, reports, and exports stay understandable later.

#### Practical Tips

Tip 1: keep the Finance dashboard result easy to identify by using DawnDesk names, dates, project names, or client names where appropriate.
Common mistake 1: leaving Finance dashboard before checking whether the action produced the expected visible result.

How to use Subscriptions

Subscriptions is part of Finance Manager. This section explains how to approach the view, what to check first, how to complete the main action, and how to recover when something looks wrong.

flowchart TD Start[Open Subscriptions] --> Input[Enter or select user content] Input --> Review[Review the current panel] Review --> Action[Run the main action] Action --> Save[Save, export, copy, or update] Save --> Confirm[Check confirmation or recent activity] Confirm --> Continue[Continue using finance-manager]

#### How To Use This Area

Use Subscriptions when you need to complete the related DawnDesk task without leaving the Finance Manager workspace.
Start by reading the labels on the panel, because DawnDesk keeps the primary action near the current view.
Enter only the information needed for the current step, then save, export, copy, or review the result before moving on.
If a save dialog opens, choose a clear filename and keep the default extension unless your workflow requires a different one.
After completing the action, check the confirmation message or the recent activity log so you know the operation finished.
When the result affects another workspace, return to the Dashboard and open the next module from there.
If the panel appears empty, create the first record, import an existing file, or remove filters that may be hiding content.
For repeated work, use consistent naming so search, reports, and exports stay understandable later.

How to use Procurement

Procurement is part of Finance Manager. This section explains how to approach the view, what to check first, how to complete the main action, and how to recover when something looks wrong.

flowchart TD Start[Open Procurement] --> Input[Enter or select user content] Input --> Review[Review the current panel] Review --> Action[Run the main action] Action --> Save[Save, export, copy, or update] Save --> Confirm[Check confirmation or recent activity] Confirm --> Continue[Continue using finance-manager]

#### How To Use This Area

Use Procurement when you need to complete the related DawnDesk task without leaving the Finance Manager workspace.
Start by reading the labels on the panel, because DawnDesk keeps the primary action near the current view.
Enter only the information needed for the current step, then save, export, copy, or review the result before moving on.
If a save dialog opens, choose a clear filename and keep the default extension unless your workflow requires a different one.
After completing the action, check the confirmation message or the recent activity log so you know the operation finished.
When the result affects another workspace, return to the Dashboard and open the next module from there.
If the panel appears empty, create the first record, import an existing file, or remove filters that may be hiding content.
For repeated work, use consistent naming so search, reports, and exports stay understandable later.

#### Practical Tips

User Safety Notes

Save important work before switching modules.
Use clear filenames for exports so files are easy to recognize outside DawnDesk.
Check confirmation messages after save, import, export, delete, or AI actions.
Do not paste private API keys or sensitive customer data into fields that do not need them.
When cloud workspaces are enabled, confirm sign-in before assuming data is missing.
