Use the dashboard and its tabs
Switch between the Planning, Financial and Management views, open tabs such as the plan board, planner and map planning, and hide dashboard elements.
Updated 5 October 2026
The dashboard is your start page. It is organised in views (Planning, Financial and Management), and each view has a row of tabs with the tools for that kind of work. Which views and tabs you see depends on your platform's features and your permissions.
Open a tab
- Click the home icon in the header, or press Ctrl+D on a Mac or Alt+D on Windows.
- Choose a view in the selector at the top right of the tab row: Planning, Financial or Management.
- Click a tab in the row, for example Planboard or Planner. Scroll the row sideways if not all tabs fit.
The address of the page changes with the tab, so you can bookmark a tab or share the link with a colleague. You can also press Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) with a number to open a tab by its position.
Planning view
| Tab | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Planboard | Plan and follow vehicles, trips and equipment in a live board. See Plan with the plan board. |
| Planner | Plan on a timeline per vehicle, driver or consignment. See Plan on the planner timeline. |
| Watchtower | Watch the status of consignments and their trips. See Monitor with the watchtower. |
| Marketplace | Publish and answer tenders. See Marketplace overview. |
| Route planner | Calculate routes. See Plan a route. |
| Optimizer | Let Transportial propose a plan. See Optimise your planning. |
| Map planning | Select orders on the map and build trips. Only shown when your platform has the map planning feature. See Plan trips on the map. |
| Todo | Work through your to-dos. See Manage to-dos. |
| Exceptions | Handle planning exceptions. See Handle planning exceptions. |

In the Planning view, a map with your vehicles and work is shown above the tabs. It is left out on the Map planning tab, which has its own map.
Financial view
Shows the tabs Invoices, Incoming invoices, Pending Approvals, Quotes and Incoming quotes, depending on your permissions. A second selector next to the view selector lets you choose the administration you are working in. See Create and send invoices and Quotes.
Management view
Shows the Operational and Financial management dashboards. See Management dashboards.
The Insights tab with reports is added at the end of the row in every view when your platform has it. See Run a report on the Insights tab.
Which view you start in
The dashboard opens on the first tab available to you. Users with the finance account type start in the Financial view on Invoices. A settings group (perspective) may also send you to a specific tab when you switch to it.
Hide dashboard elements
- Open the side menu (☰) and choose Settings.
- Click the User interface tab.
- Under Dashboard elements, switch off Map planner, Onboarding banner or Insights tab.
The change is saved immediately and only applies to you.
The order of the tabs is fixed. If you want to put your own selection of widgets side by side, build a dashboard of your own under My dashboards. See Build your own dashboard.
