Your Warehouse Overview: Today, What Needs You, and Your Plan Usage

The Overview is the home page of your warehouse console: today’s appointments, the requests waiting for your confirmation, whether your directory listing is published, and how much of your free plan you have used.

Open your warehouse console and the first page you land on is the Overview. It answers three questions at a glance: what is happening at your dock today, what is waiting for you to act on, and whether your setup is finished. Everything on this page is a summary — click any card to go to the page where the actual work happens.

The three numbers at the top#

• Appointments today — how many appointments are booked for today at this facility.
• Waiting for confirmation — how many carrier requests are still waiting for your answer. When the count is above zero, the card shows a link straight to the waiting queue in Appointments.
• Checked in today — how many of today’s trucks have already arrived (checked in or completed).

On a phone, the “Waiting for confirmation” card moves to the very top — it is the one number that usually needs you first.

Driver verification and needs-attention summaries#

Below the three numbers you may see two more summary areas. The driver verification card shows, in five groups, how many drivers still need to submit documents and how many are waiting for your review; click through to the review queue to work them. The needs-attention strip appears only when there is something to act on — for example a carrier pattern worth a look — and stays hidden when there is nothing.

Finish setting up#

Until setup is complete, the Overview keeps a “To finish setting up” card listing what is missing — your facility profile, or at least one dock door. The button on the card takes you to the Onboarding wizard, which walks through the same steps. Once both are done, the card disappears.

Your directory listing status#

The Directory listing card shows whether your public page is Published or Not published. Your public page shows the facility profile you publish, so keep that profile current — it is what carriers read before they book. The card’s button takes you to Facility profile, where you edit and publish it.

Free plan usage#

The Free plan usage card shows how much of each free limit you have used: facilities, dock doors, appointments this month, and accounts — plus your yard usage (zones, spots, vehicles on site now, and move tasks this month), with the paid-tier limit shown next to each yard figure for comparison. Gate entries this month are also shown, for information only: there is no limit on them, and an arrival is never refused a record. If you are running into a limit, the upgrade link at the bottom of the card takes you to the upgrade page.

Optimization suggestions#

At the bottom, the optimization panel summarizes suggestions drawn from your own appointment history — for example load alerts and unusual dwell times — and a weekly digest. The panel is read-only advice: it never changes a booking by itself, and when there is nothing to flag it folds down to a few lines.

Finding your way around the console#

The console menu groups everything else: Operations (Appointments, Check-ins, and — for staff and above — the Gate screen and Driver verification), Schedule & capacity (Schedule board, Docks & schedule, Capacity & rules, Reservations), the Yard page on its own, Carriers (My carriers, Carrier invites), and Facility settings (Facility profile, Reports, Settings, Onboarding). On a phone, the main sections sit in the bottom bar and the rest are under More. If your account has the Gate role, you do not see this menu at all — you get the gate screen only.
