      If you are a first time user to the MacroFab platform, or do not have any PCB orders, fulfillment requests, or inventory, you will see a version of the dashboard with placeholder data pointing you to create these items or follow the links in the buttons to the Knowledge Base where you can learn how to get started. Otherwise your dashboard will look similar to below.

      Order Status Panel

      The Order Status panel shows your three most recent PCB Assembly orders with information about each one. If the status of your order has been updated to shipped, the tracking number will be provided. If your order is still being reviewed or is currently processing, and estimated completion date will show up in place of tracking data. The graph on the right will give an up-to-date percentage on the progress of your order toward completion. For shipped orders, this will always show 100% complete.

      Your top three inventory items by total value are displayed in a pie graph along with the total value of all of the rest of your combined inventory.

      Fulfillment Panels

      Three cumulative fulfillment numbers are shown in their own panel, including your number of orders fulfilled to date, the number of individual products we’ve shipped to you, and the total dollar value of products shipped to you.

      Below those is an In-Progress Fulfillment table showing your three most recent fulfillment orders with data about each one. Follow the See All link to be taken to Fulfillment and view a complete list of your fulfillment requests.
