Understanding the Pickscan dashboard
Understanding the Pickscan dashboard
The Pickscan dashboard is the landing page when you click Pickscan in the WordPress admin sidebar. It gives you an at-a-glance view of today's scanning activity and device health.
Metric cards
Across the top of the dashboard, a row of cards summarises today's activity:
- Orders scanned today — the count of WooCommerce orders that have been fully picked and scanned today.
- Stock scans — the number of stock barcode scans recorded today by any connected device.
- Stock checks — the number of stock-check sessions completed today.
- Active users — app users who have logged in on a device today.
- Device status — total devices paired, broken down into online and offline.
Each card updates as new activity comes in; there's no need to refresh the page manually.
Operational insights
Below the metrics, the Operational Insights panel shows:
- First and last scan — the time of today's first and most recent scan activity, useful for confirming when your warehouse shift started and finished.
- Top user — the app user with the most scans today.
- Pending orders — the count of paid WooCommerce orders that have not yet been fully picked.
Recent activity
A live-updating log shows the most recent scanning events across all devices, with user name, device name, and timestamp. This is handy for spot-checking activity without opening individual order screens.
System health
A single indicator on the dashboard shows whether Pickscan's connection to the Smartcode backend is healthy. If the indicator turns red, check your WooCommerce API keys in Pickscan → Setup and your internet connection.
Feature spotlight cards
If any part of your setup is incomplete — for example, no app users yet, or no paired devices — the dashboard shows spotlight cards linking to the relevant setup step. Work through them in any order.
