The dashboard

Your starting point in Wren: four counters, the items you stock and what is out, and news and tips.

The Dashboard is the first page you see after you sign in. It shows what is moving, what is waiting on somebody and what you stock, so you know where to start your day. Open it any time from Dashboard in the sidebar.

The four counts at the top of the dashboard

Your day in four numbers

Four counters run across the top of the page:

CounterWhat it counts
Orders ProcessedOrders that have gone out to your suppliers.
Shipments PendingShipments still on their way to you.
Open ApprovalsOrders waiting for somebody to approve them.
Inventory ItemsHow many products you keep track of in inventory.

If Open Approvals is above zero and you are a reviewer, open Orders and press Pending Review to see what is waiting. See Approve an order.

What you stock, and what has run out

The Inventory card under the counters lists the items you stock. Under its title it says how many items there are. Each row shows:

  • Name: the product, with its picture and its code.
  • Supplier: who you buy it from.
  • Count: how many you hold.
  • Instock: Yes in green, or No in red when it has run out.
  • Date: when the stock last changed.

A glance down the Instock column tells you what has run out, so you can reorder before a patient is waiting. Click a row to open that item's page, with its lots, log and Reorder button. See Item details.

The card shows ten items at a time. The dots under the list move between pages. View all, at the top right of the card, opens Inventory with every item, where you can sort by QTY available to see the lowest counts first. See Your inventory.

Your practice, and news and tips

On the right is a card for your practice, with its name and type, its Account Number and its Date Joined.

Below it, News & Tips shows what is new in Wren and tips that can save you money. The list scrolls inside its card and brings in more tips as you reach the end.

More than one practice

If you work for more than one practice, switch between them with the account switcher. Carts, orders and inventory follow the practice you pick, so nothing gets mixed up. See Switch between practices.
