Your dashboard is the landing page for Tamanu, the screen you see each time you log in. It gathers what you need for your shift: the patients you have looked at recently, your upcoming tasks, today's appointments and bookings, and your notifications. To return to it, select Dashboard in the sidebar.

Select Dashboard in the sidebar to open your dashboard.

Before you start

What your dashboard shows depends on your permissions and how your site is set up:

• Upcoming tasks shows only if your site uses tasks and you can view them. See Work through your upcoming tasks
• Today's appointments shows only if you can view appointments and have been the clinician on at least one outpatient appointment
• Today's bookings shows only if you can view appointments and have been the clinician on at least one location booking

If none of these show, the dashboard shows Welcome to Tamanu! instead. Contact your system administrator if you believe you should see a section that is missing.

Check your notifications

Tamanu notifies you when:

• results are available for an imaging request you made
• pharmacy adds a note to a medication you prescribed
• a medication you prescribed is recorded as not dispensed

1. Select the bell at the top right of the dashboard.

   A red dot on the bell means you have unread notifications.

   

   Select the bell at the top right of the dashboard.

   The Notifications panel opens on the right. Unread notifications are listed first, under Unread. Below them, Recent (last 48 hours) lists the notifications you have read that arrived in the last 48 hours. Your site can set a different period, and the heading shows the one that applies.

   

   The Notifications panel lists Unread notifications above Recent (last 48 hours).

2. Select a notification to open it.

   The notification is marked as read, and the lab request, imaging request or the encounter's medications open.
