Home is the page you land on after signing in, and the first item in the main menu. It shows one card for each module you use, so you can see at a glance what needs you and open it in one click. You only get cards for modules that are enabled for your organization and that your permissions let you open. See Finding your way around.

​
Cards

Each card has a headline number, a few rows and a button that opens the module. A row whose label is a link opens the list it counts, filtered to the same records. Guide, once the page of these docs about the card is written, opens it. The pill at the top right says how much the card needs you: The line under the page title says how many cards are reporting, when Home last checked, and which time zone the times are in. A card’s numbers can be up to a minute old. The tiles above the cards show a key number from the first cards on your board that have one, such as new orders since your previous visit. The last tile, Needs you, counts the cards that are blocking or wait for a decision.

​
Arrange for

Arrange for sets which cards you see in full: The other cards move to Also on your board, below, as one line each. A blocking card stays red there. Your station is shown in full in every preset. Until you pick a preset, Home picks one from the modules you use: Operations if you work in sales or shipping and not in Pricing Intelligence, Admin if you only use administration modules such as API keys, and Owner otherwise. Picking another preset replaces your order and the cards you have hidden.

​
Since

Orders and Shipping count what is new. The menu next to the presets sets from when:
  • Since your previous visit (the default): from your last visit to Home, at most 7 days back. On your first visit, from the start of today.
  • Since the start of today
  • In the last 7 days
Days start at midnight in your organization’s time zone.

​
Customize your board

Click Customize board. Your changes are saved as you make them, for you only.
  • Order: Needs attention first (the default) puts the cards that need you most at the top. My order keeps the order you set: drag a card by its handle, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys.
  • On your board: switch a card off to hide it. A blocking card is shown while it is blocking, whatever you choose.
  • Above the board: the Setup checklist.
  • Under the board: What’s new, Help from the docs and Apps on your computers.
Reset to puts back the preset’s cards and order. Click Done to close the panel.

​
Your station

If you print, and you have chosen a station in the top bar, Your station comes first on your board. It shows the jobs waiting to print there, each printer and its state, jobs waiting for a printer that takes them, and Print jobs with a problem, which opens Print jobs at that station. Choose another station and the card follows it. See Choose your station.

​
Setting up a new organization

While modules still need setting up, Set up your modules lists one step for each module you can set up:
  • Add your products and Choose your RRP price level (Catalog)
  • Add a market and its data sources (Pricing Intelligence)
  • Set your organization’s time zone
  • Connect your ERP
  • Connect a courier account
  • Install the Station app on a packing PC
  • Connect a marketplace account
  • Set up your warehouses
Each step opens the page where you do it, and its guide once that page of these docs is written. A step ticks itself off once Home sees it done. Click Hide the checklist to put it away; Customize board brings it back. When every card has answered and none needs you, Home says All clear. Nothing needs you right now.

​
Around Omnilinker

Under the board:
  • What’s new: release notes from the Changelog for the modules you use, plus the ones for everyone. Notes you haven’t read are marked. Mark all read clears the marks; All releases opens the changelog.
  • Help from the docs: search these docs (press / to jump to the search box), and guides for what needs you now. When nothing does, it suggests reading for your cards instead.
  • Apps on your computers: the version of the Station app on each station, and whether an update is waiting for it, and the version of the ERP Sync agent on each connection. Both install updates by themselves at night, between 01:00 and 05:00.
  • Getting started: the quickstarts and the key concepts.

​
On a phone

The tiles sit two by two and the cards in one column. After the first three cards, More cards shows the rest; a blocking card and Your station are always shown.
