The Quick Action Menu: Your First Page After Login
The first page after login is a design decision people rarely think about, even though it sets how many taps the whole shop spends every day.
It used to be the Repair Dashboard: a screen full of repair figures, useful to the owner and useless to the cashier who has just opened the app at eight in the morning and really only wants one thing — the sales form.
Now the landing page is the Menu, holding the Quick Action panel: large buttons that group work by what you want to do, not by which module it lives in.
What makes it more than a row of shortcuts: the buttons follow the person. The app checks two things before drawing one — whether your permissions allow it, and whether the module is actually active for this shop. If either fails, the button is not drawn.
That sounds minor until you compare it with the old habit: show every button, then bounce people with an error when they press one. Here, a button you can see is a button you can actually open — and a shorter panel on a technician account is not a sign something is broken, but a sign the gate is working.
Before you start
- A staff account that can log in to the Store App. This page belongs to everyone who is signed in.
Steps
-
Sign in as usual, and notice where you land
After login you arrive at the Menu page holding the Quick Action panel. The landing page used to be the Repair Dashboard, which has now been retired and whose job is done by the Repair Analytics page.
This is what you see the moment you sign in. -
Learn the five groups
Start a transaction for what happens all day, Open a list for finding what is already recorded, Analytics for reading the numbers, Money for shop cash, and Setup holding only what is genuinely needed often.
Start a transaction holds what gets done all day long. -
Use Start a transaction as the daily work door
It holds repair intake, the POS register, new sale, new purchase, new expense, repair return and sales return. Each opens the entry form directly — not a list you then have to add from.
-
Use Open a list when the thing already exists
Repairs, repair workflow, sales, purchases, customers, products, stock take and canvassing. The difference from the first group is clear: this one is for following up, not for starting.
Analytics and Money are for the owner, not for the register. -
Accept that your panel differs from your colleague panel
Buttons pass two filters: the permission on that page, and whether your shop subscribes to the module behind it. Only buttons clearing both appear, so no button bounces you back with an error.
Different accounts see different panels — as intended. -
If a button you need is missing, ask for the right — not the address
Copying the page address from a colleague screen will not help: the real gate sits on the server, not on whether a button is drawn. What has to change is the Access Rights of your group.
-
Old links to the Repair Dashboard no longer dead-end
Old links, browser bookmarks or home-screen shortcuts that used to point at the Repair Dashboard are now sent to the Menu page. There is nothing you need to fix by hand.
What you end up with
Everyone in the shop lands on the same page but sees buttons matching their own rights — daily work is one tap away, and no button promises a page that is actually closed.
If something goes wrong
My Quick Action panel is nearly empty
That mirrors your account permissions, it is not a fault. A technician account reasonably sees only a few buttons. Ask the shop owner to review your group Access Rights if there is work you should be able to open.
A button that used to be there is gone
Two possibilities: your group rights changed, or the module behind that page is no longer active for this shop. Both are checked on the owner side — through Access Rights and through the Store App module list.
I miss the old Repair Dashboard
Its content did not disappear; it moved and grew. Breakdowns by brand, customer, fault type, service and spare part now live on the Repair Analytics page, together with trends and rankings it never had.
The page opens but the Analytics buttons refuse me
Analytics buttons are filtered per analytics page, not all at once. You may hold rights to only some of them. Ask for view permission on the specific analytics pages you need.
