The front desk

The home screen is a conversation, not a dashboard. What is on it and why.

On this page

You do not open an app. You walk in, and someone tells you where things stand.

The briefing

The first thing on the screen is Dardaris telling you about the morning in its own words: what came in, what it did, and what it could not decide without you. It is assembled from records that exist, in a fixed order of importance. Anything on fire comes before the rent roll, money comes before activity, and the hand-off comes last.

Every sentence in it can be traced. Click the figure and you land on the records it was computed from.

What is waiting on you

Under the briefing sit the two or three things that need a signature or a decision. Each one says what stopped and why, which is the point: a manager who tells you where the limit was is one you can leave alone with the rest. See approving something.

Asking a question

The box at the bottom is not a search field. Ask "how much rent is outstanding on the Ghent block" and the answer is computed from your own records on the spot, with the records it came from and where to go next.

Tell it to keep an eye on something and it re-derives that figure every time you walk in.

The rooms behind it

The rail down the left is deliberately the quietest thing on screen. Five rooms, named the way you would say them out loud: Front desk, Leases, Buildings, Money, Short stay. Under them a quieter group for what is open in front of you rather than somewhere you go.

The rail carries what you use, not everything that exists. Everything else lives on the Everything page, and the command palette reaches all of it whether it is pinned or not.

If you would rather read the whole portfolio yourself than ask, that page exists too. See reports.

Back to the beginning: what Dardaris is.
