# Community Dashboard

> View your community's growth metrics, recent activity, and quick actions from the Dashboard tab. Owners see financials; members see a limited overview.

The Dashboard tab gives you a real-time snapshot of your community's health. Owners and admins see engagement stats, financials, and a reach chart; regular members see a lighter view without revenue data.

## What the dashboard shows

When your community has activity, the dashboard displays metric cards that hide any zero values. The cards can include:

* **Reach** — total page views with period-over-period growth
* **New signups** — opt-ins over the selected time range
* **Active members** — percentage of members who engaged recently
* **Orders** — total product sales (owner-only)
* **Total product sales** — revenue with MRR breakdown (owner-only)
* **Total customers** — paying members with engagement rate (owner-only)

<Note>
  Only community owners and admins with **Manage settings** permission can access this tab.
</Note>

## Change the time range

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the Dashboard tab in **Community Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the period selector in the top right.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Choose **Last 7 days**, **14 days**, **30 days**, or **90 days**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Read the reach chart

Below the metric cards, the **Reach over time** chart shows daily or weekly page views. Toggle between **Daily** and **Weekly** views using the segmented control above the chart. Hover any bar to see the exact view count for that date.

## Recent moments

The **Recent moments** feed lists the latest events in your community: new members, posts, comments, and orders. Each entry shows who performed the action and how long ago it happened.

## Empty state

If your community is brand new and has no data, the dashboard shows a welcome hero with quick-start actions:

* **Invite your first members**
* **Customize your community**
* **Set community rules**
* **Launch monetization** (owners only)

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why do some metric cards not appear?">
    Cards with zero values are hidden automatically so the dashboard stays clean. Once your community generates activity in a category, the card will appear.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I export dashboard data?">
    There is no export option in the Dashboard tab. For detailed records, use the Orders and Members sections of your community.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How often are the metrics updated?">
    Most metrics update in near real time. The reach chart may lag by a few minutes during high-traffic periods.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why do I see fewer metrics than another admin?">
    Financial metrics are restricted to the community owner. Other admins see engagement and activity data only.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does the highlight banner mean?">
    The banner appears when a positive signal is detected, such as climbing sales, growing signups, or expanding reach. It is a quick morale boost and context for what is working.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Dashboard shows no data after selecting a time range">
    If your community is very new, there may not be enough activity yet. Check back after members join and interact. Also confirm you selected a range that includes the period when activity started.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Reach chart does not match my external analytics">
    The dashboard counts page views inside the Instaloops platform. External analytics may include additional traffic sources or filtering rules that differ from our counting logic.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Recent moments feed is empty">
    The feed only shows events from the last few days. If nothing has happened recently, it will be blank. Trigger an event (for example, post a comment) to confirm the feed is working.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Monetization card is missing">
    Financial cards are visible to the community owner only. If you are an admin without owner permissions, you will not see revenue data.
  </Accordion>
