This page gives you a quick tour of the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#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](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/dashboard-tour/#the-dashboard-home-page)). - **Print Analytics** shows how many [print jobs](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job) were created, not counting jobs created in [Development Mode](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#development-mode), and your billing history. See [View print analytics in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-analytics/). - **Applications** lists your [applications](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#application), the stores and apps connected to BizPrint. See [Manage applications in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/applications/). - **Stations** lists your [stations](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station) and their [printers](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer). See [Manage stations and their printers in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/stations/). - **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](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/activity/). - **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](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/archive-offline-jobs/) and [Test printing with Development Mode in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/development-mode/). Click **Save** to keep a change. - **Assistant** opens a checklist of setup tasks. See [The Assistant checklist](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/dashboard-tour/#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](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/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](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/change-plan/). - **Log out** signs you out. See [Sign out of the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/sign-out/). 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](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#webhook) problem. See [Test the webhook connection for a BizPrint application](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/test-webhook/). 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. ## Related pages - [Create a station in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-a-station/) - [How BizPrint works: accounts, stations, applications and printers](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/how-bizprint-works/) - [BizPrint glossary](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/) Need help?
