The Dashboard: your morning glance

Did it run last night? Is anything waiting on a person? One screen, one glance, both answers.

This guide explains the Dashboard, the first screen you see in Curated Sync. No technical background needed. Three minutes to read.

CURRENT AS OF JULY 16, 2026
What This Screen Is For

The one-glance health check

Most days, ten seconds here is all the system needs from you.

The Dashboard opens with the last run: when the sync last ran, how it ended, and what it touched. Below it sit the catalog totals and the attention list: anything waiting on a person, like pending quotes or a lagging feed.

The morning routine: read the last-run line, scan the attention list. Empty list, green run: walk away.

The Bottom Line

One glance answers "did it run?" and "does anything need me?" That is the whole job of this screen.

What You Can Do

Two levers: Sync Now and Dry Run

When you need it now

Sync Now

Runs a real sync immediately instead of waiting for 2:00 AM. Useful after a batch of IntelliEvent edits you want live today. Progress shows on screen while it runs.

When you want a rehearsal

Dry Run

Walks the whole sync without changing anything, then reports what it would have done. The safe way to answer "what would happen if we synced right now?"

One lane rule: the schedule and the buttons share a single lane, so runs never collide. A second request simply waits its turn.

The Bottom Line

Sync Now for speed, Dry Run for certainty, and no way to trip over the nightly schedule.

The Attention List

The system asks for help in plain words

When something needs a person, it says so here, by name.

A run that finishes as "partial" puts a chip on the attention list naming the lagging feed. Pending website quotes appear here too. Nothing hides in a log file; if it matters, it is on this list.

A True Story

In July 2026, while IntelliEvent's price endpoint was down, every affected run was flagged "partial" here with the prices feed named. Nothing failed silently, and nothing pretended to be fine.

The Bottom Line

If the attention list is empty, nothing needs you. If it is not, it tells you exactly what does.

Common Questions

What people usually ask

What does a "partial" run mean for my websites?

The core catalog synced fine. One secondary feed lagged, and the chip names it. Websites keep serving the last good data for that piece.

Is Dry Run really safe to press?

Yes. It changes nothing anywhere. It exists so anyone can rehearse a sync without asking permission first.

Where do I dig deeper than the glance?

The Sync screen holds every run's full record. See: the Sync screen guide, and How the nightly sync works.

The Bottom Line

Ten seconds every morning. The Dashboard is built to earn that little of your time.
