The Dashboard

Last checked Wed, Oct 7, 2026

The Dashboard is the first thing you see in Works. Think of it as a check engine light: it says All good, or lists what needs your attention.

The Dashboard: what needs attention, printing now, next on each printer, and coming up

What needs attention

Each item says what's wrong and what to do about it.

Act now:

  • a print past its finish time ("should be finished: record what came off the plate"),
  • a job that should have started ("start it, or move it on the Schedule"),
  • filament that will run short within 48 hours,
  • maintenance that's overdue.

Check soon:

  • filament that will run short later,
  • a job that starts while you're asleep,
  • stock at or below its reorder level,
  • a late purchase order,
  • a printer near the end of its service life,
  • maintenance due soon, or due during an upcoming job.

What's happening

  • Printing now: each job on the printer, and its time left.
  • Next on each printer.
  • Coming up in the next 48 hours.
  • On order: what you're waiting for from suppliers.

Quick job at the top starts a counter sale (see Quick job).
