# Understanding the Client Dashboard

Use your dashboard to check requests, find appointments, and open your projects.

## Before you start

Sign in with your client account. This guide describes the mobile web dashboard; choose **Home** in the bottom navigation to return to it.

## Find your way around

1. On **Home**, review **Total Requests**, **Pending**, **Accepted**, and **Completed**.
   These are request summaries. An accepted request is not proof that an appointment is booked.
2. Scroll to **Upcoming Appointments**. Switch between **Calendar view** and **List view**.
   In the calendar, use **Day**, **Week**, or **Month** and the previous/next controls to browse dates.
3. Choose **Appointments** in the bottom navigation for the full appointment list, filters, and booking actions.
4. Scroll to **Recent Activity**. Select the statuses you want to include, then use **View Details** for the intended item.

   ![Recent Activity offers status checkboxes and View Details on each item.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/6/b/f/b6bf11da1ce5e000/understanding-the-client-dashb_fy1b5u.png)

5. Choose **Requests** to follow your requests or **Projects** to open your project list.
6. Open the notification bell for recent updates. Select the notice for the intended appointment or request.

## Profile and shortcuts

**Profile Information** contains your name, pronouns, and photo controls.
Check that you are editing your own client profile before changing anything.

The **Quick actions** button offers **New request** and **View projects**.
For a new booking, follow the artist's current public booking link and check whether you are submitting a request or choosing an appointment time.

## If something looks missing

Check the selected date, calendar view, and activity statuses. Scroll through the page; the profile and activity sections appear below the appointment section on a phone.
Use the full **Appointments** or **Requests** page to confirm an item's status.
Make sure you signed in with the account used for your booking.
