Reading the dashboard

The AI briefing

The top card on the dashboard is the morning briefing. It's a plain-English summary of what today looks like: how many jobs are active, how many workers are on site, cert lapses, RAMS that need signing. Under the headline you get three at-a-glance KPIs: Risk, On site, Certs.

Two buttons sit under the briefing:

• Open AI Workspace — jump into the Ask Gaffer chat to drill down.
• Review Jobs — takes you to the Jobs page.

If the briefing feels sparse, it usually means there's not enough data yet. Give it a few days of clock-ins.

Today at a glance (KPIs)

Below the briefing, three stat cards:

• Active jobs — jobs with status Active. Clicking jumps to Jobs.
• Workers on site — workers currently clocked in. Clicking jumps to Workers.
• Compliance score — one score for the whole company. Clicking jumps to Compliance.

Cards are clickable — use them as shortcuts instead of the sidebar.

Active jobs table

Scroll down and you'll see an Active Jobs table — the jobs most at-risk, most active, or recently touched. Click a row to open the job.

Recent activity feed

Right of the jobs table, the Recent Activity feed is a timeline of what Gaffer has seen: clock-ins, RAMS signatures, forms submitted, alerts raised. It's the fastest way to know what just happened on any of your sites without clicking through.

Notifications panel

Top-right of the header is the bell. Click it for the notifications panel. This is where Gaffer surfaces things the agent has flagged — missed clock-ins, new worker messages, lapses — even while you're on another page. Enable push notifications (the browser will prompt you) so these also hit your phone.

The sidebar

The sidebar is split into sections:

• Main — Dashboard, AI workspace, Jobs, Workers, Messages.
• Operations — Time & Attendance, Compliance, RAMS, Docs.
• Finance — Payroll, Costing, Materials.
• Setup — Form Library, Team, Settings (owner-only).
• Intelligence — Pricing (margin/yield).

Red badges on a sidebar item = something needs your attention. Don't let them pile up — that's the point of them being there.

Hiding the setup checklist

Once you're set up, click I'll do this later on the setup checklist to hide it for good. It only comes back if you add a brand-new company or reset setup in Settings.
