QMS Dashboard
The Dashboard is the home screen of the system after you are logged in. The navigation bar is present allowing you to navigate the system and access the different functions found on the other pages of the system. Furthermore, the Dashboard displays data regarding to quotes and bookings that have been generated within the teams the user is a part of. There are two columns, Carriers and Operators, that break the overall data for the team into the different Carriers being used for bookings and the Operators responsible for any actions on those quotes and bookings. There is a filter function on the dashboard that allows you to narrow down the data visible on the dashboard and provide you an at-a-glance view of the teams quotes and bookings over different periods. The filter can also be cleared to return the dashboard to its initial, unfiltered state.
