Dashboard

Workspace reference: GSP-WORKSPACE.md

Purpose

Main landing dashboard with widgets and quick server overview.

Current Status

• Functional
• Uses a fixed four-card customer dashboard layout

Dependencies

• user permissions
• shared Panel URL helpers

Database Tables

• none required for the active customer dashboard card layout

Agent Interaction

• indirect through monitor widgets and server summaries

User Workflow

• view server summary widgets
• access quick links

Admin Workflow

• manage dashboard widgets and layout

Security Concerns

• widget visibility should respect permissions

Known Issues

• legacy widget infrastructure still exists in the module for historical compatibility, but the active customer dashboard no longer depends on it

Missing Functionality

• richer status and alert surfaces
• deeper account summaries if a future design needs per-user metrics beyond the Game Monitor link

Suggested Future Improvements

• surface lifecycle state, support, billing, and docs more prominently

Recommendation

• Keep / Improve

Current Dashboard Cards

• Dashboard render file: Panel/modules/dashboard/dashboard.php
• Dashboard styles: Panel/modules/dashboard/dashboard.css
• Shared Panel project URL helper: Panel/includes/functions.php
• Shared Discord invite helper: Panel/includes/functions.php
• Shared server-status route helper: Panel/includes/functions.php
• Theme base: active SimpleBootstrap icon set

Rendered cards:

• Account Overview
  • button: View My Servers
  • route: home.php?m=gamemanager&p=game_monitor
• Custom Server Code
  • button: Request Custom Development
  • URL: https://runlevelsystems.com/start-project.php
  • opens in a new tab
• Support
  • buttons:
    • Create Support Ticket
    • Join Discord
  • support route: home.php?m=tickets&p=submitticket
  • Discord URL: https://discord.gg/qt9Hnkj6cv
• Server Status
  • button: View Server Status
  • route: server_status.php
  • opens separately so dashboard rendering does not wait on remote checks

Support versus custom development:

• support is for routine troubleshooting, service issues, and help using included features
• custom development is for scripts, integrations, automation, migrations, mods, and new tooling

Behavior change:

• collapsible behavior was removed from the active customer dashboard blocks
• the old blank-space-prone widget columns are no longer used for the four main customer actions
