A tour of the dashboard

What you need

Time: 5 minutes to read

  • You are signed in to the dashboard.

The dashboard is the one screen you use to run everything. It has four parts.

The stats along the top

These numbers describe the masjid computer itself, and they update while you watch.

Card What it tells you
CPU How hard the computer is working.
Memory How much of the memory is in use.
Disk How much space is left.
Temperature How warm the processor is, where the machine reports it.
Uptime How long since the computer last restarted.
Apps running How many of your apps are on.

The apps

Every app you install appears here as a card with its name and whether it is running.

Each card gives you:

  • Open — the app's own screen. It signs you in with your OpenMasjidOS login.
  • Turn off and Start — stop and start the app.
  • App options — the three-dot menu, with View logs, Check for update, Pin to dock and Remove.

The dock

The dock is the row of small icons for the apps you use most. Pin to dock puts an app there. It changes nothing about the app.

The four places to go

Along the top you have four sections.

Section What it is for
Dashboard This screen.
App Store Browse and install apps.
Files Browse the files your apps have saved.
Settings Everything else: appearance, account, email, backups, updates.

Checkpoint

You can name what each stats card measures, and you can find the App Store, Files and Settings without looking.

If something goes wrong

What you seeWhyWhat to do
The stats do not change.The live connection to the server has dropped.Refresh the page. If they stay still, re-run the installer and choose Repair.
The temperature card is missing.Not every machine reports its processor temperature.Nothing to do. It is missing information, not a fault.
An app card says it is not running.The app was turned off, or it stopped on its own.Click Start. If it stops again, open App options, then View logs, and paste the last lines into Discord.
