A tour of the BizPrint dashboard

This page gives you a quick tour of the BizPrint dashboard, the website where you manage your printing. It is for merchants, staff and developers, whatever your orders come from: WooCommerce, Shopify, or your own app.

The menu

The menu runs down the side of the page. On a phone or a narrow window it opens from the menu button at the top. Hover over an icon to see its name. Each item opens one area of the dashboard:

• Dashboard is the home page, with a tile for each area (see The Dashboard home page).
• Print Analytics shows how many print jobs were created, not counting jobs created in Development Mode, and your billing history. See View print analytics in the BizPrint dashboard.
• Applications lists your applications, the stores and apps connected to BizPrint. See Manage applications in the BizPrint dashboard.
• Stations lists your stations and their printers. See Manage stations and their printers in the BizPrint dashboard.
• Resources opens the Resources page, with links to the Quick Start Guide, Support, Documentation, Developer Tools, Marketplace and Hardware. Click a link to open it in a new tab.
• Activity shows a feed of recent changes to your account. See Use the Activity feed and pin printers in the BizPrint dashboard.
• Settings has two switches: Archive offline print jobs and Development Mode. Read the page for each one before you change it: Choose what happens to BizPrint print jobs when a station is offline and Test printing with Development Mode in the BizPrint dashboard. Click Save to keep a change.
• Assistant opens a checklist of setup tasks. See The Assistant checklist.

If your account is paused, Applications, Stations and Activity are switched off until the service is active again. See View, download and pay your BizPrint invoices.

The account menu

Point at the profile icon at the bottom of the left menu. A small menu opens with these items:

• Account settings opens your BizSwoop account settings in a new tab.
• Apps dashboard opens the home page of your BizSwoop account in a new tab.
• My Plan opens your plan. See Change or cancel your BizPrint plan.
• Log out signs you out. See Sign out of the BizPrint dashboard.

On a narrow screen, such as a phone, tap the menu button at the top of the page instead. The same items appear in the menu, where the sign-out item is called Logout.

The Dashboard home page

The home page has one tile for each area. Click a tile to open that area.

• Print Analytics shows how many print jobs were created today and in total this month, not counting Development Mode jobs.
• My Plan shows your current plan.
• Applications shows how many applications you have. A red warning triangle means an application has a webhook problem. See Test the webhook connection for a BizPrint application. The + button creates a new application.
• Stations shows how many stations you have and how many printers are connected. The + button creates a new station.
• Activity shows your five most recent events and any pinned printers. Click View Activity Feed to see more.

If the service is paused because of an unpaid invoice, a red warning link appears on the Print Analytics tile. It takes you to the Print Analytics page, where you can pay and reactivate your service.

The Assistant checklist

Click Assistant at the bottom of the menu to open a checklist of tasks for getting started, such as creating a station or an application, testing a webhook and looking at your analytics. The progress ring shows how many tasks are left. Tasks tick themselves off when you finish them in the dashboard. A Get Started button may appear next to it the first time you sign in.
