3. Dashboard Overview

Navigation path: Sidebar → Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of your affiliate program's health. It is the first screen displayed after login.

3.1 Key Metrics

Metric	Description
Total Affiliates	The total number of affiliates enrolled in your program
Active Links	The number of referral links currently active and tracking
Conversions	Total purchases or goal completions attributed to affiliates
Commissions	Total commission amount earned across all affiliates (e.g., $10.64)

3.2 Recent Activity

The Recent Activity feed displays a chronological stream of events such as new clicks, conversions, and commission status changes. When no activity has occurred yet, the panel displays a placeholder message. Once affiliates begin generating activity, each event will appear here in real time.

3.3 Quick Actions

Two shortcut buttons appear on the Dashboard for the most common tasks:

• Manage Affiliates — Navigates directly to the Affiliates section.
• Manage API Keys — Navigates directly to Business Settings → API Keys.

Example scenario: A marketing manager logs in each morning and checks the Dashboard to confirm that commissions are accumulating. If the Conversions count has not changed overnight, she navigates to Analytics Reports → Conversions to investigate.
