Homepage and Navigating the System in Pabau 2

This article is a guide on the differences between navigating around Pabau 1 vs Pabau 2. We will cover the dashboard, how to navigate the system, and how to use the search bar, create button, and user profiles in Pabau 2.

Dashboard


You've just switched over from Pabau Classic to Pabau 2. Congratulations! 

Pabau 2 is not an upgrade - it's a brand-new product. While there are some similarities between the two, and some fundamentals and thinking patterns you've acquired will carry over, Pabau 2 has a vastly different layout.

The first thing you might notice is that the Buzzfeed is gone! 

Now, when logging in, you first see the Dashboard - it provides key metrics about your business.

The Buzzfeed has been replaced by a multitude of things, such as:

Notifications - similar to alerts, you can choose to be notified when certain interactions occur.
 


The Booking Activity section for your online booking portal will display your recent online bookings.



The Client Activity section will display your Connect online booking registrations.


Navigating the System



Navigating the system has changed as well. Both the quick access icons and the Setup button can now be found on the left sidebar, and some feature drop-down menus instead of having to be opened first. 

Some features remain much the same (Home, Leads, Stock, Marketing), while others have been renamed (Practice/Salon is now Calendar, Contacts is now Clients, Reports is now Analytics,  Finance is now Money), and Activities is new. Previously it was located in the upper right corner, named Tasks.

The search bar and Create button have been moved to the top of the page, and the Create button now has hotkeys options!

The Logout button, SMS balance, and Account Settings can now be accessed by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner.
