The Account Dashboard
The account dashboard is the central view for everything related to a specific account. It brings together the account's details, events, contacts, activity history, and more — all in one place.
Getting There
- Click Accounts in the main sidebar navigation
- Click on any account name in the list
You can also reach the account dashboard by clicking an account name anywhere it appears as a link throughout the application.
Overview
The account dashboard is split into two main areas: the account information panel on the left, and the main content area on the right.
Tab Navigation
Across the top of the page, you'll see tabs that give you access to different aspects of the account:
| Tab | What it shows |

Editing Account Details
Click the Edit button at the top-right of the account information panel to open the edit form. See Creating Accounts for details on all available fields.
Parent and Sub-Accounts
If the account is linked to a parent account, a Parent account card appears below the account information, showing the parent's name with a link to their dashboard.
If the account has sub-accounts, a Sub-accounts card lists all child accounts with links to each one.
See Account Types and Hierarchy for more on how parent/child relationships work.
Events
The events section on the right side of the dashboard shows all events associated with this account. Events appear here if:
- The account is the client on the event
- The account is a venue for the event
- The account is a supplier on one of the event's costs
- A contact from this account is linked to the event
The events table includes:

Contacts
The contacts section lists all contacts belonging to this account. For each contact, you can see their profile image, name, job title, email, phone, mobile, social links, date added, and tags.
From here you can:
- Click Add contact to create a new contact for this account
- Click a contact's name to view their full details
- Use the actions menu on each contact to Edit, Transfer to another account, or Delete
See Managing Contacts for full details on working with contacts.
Recent Activity
The activity feed shows a chronological log of actions taken on this account — who made changes and when. This gives you a clear audit trail of the account's history.
Notes
If notes have been added to the account, a preview appears here. Click through to the Notes tab for the full list, or click Create Note to add a new one.
Deleting an Account
To delete an account, scroll to the bottom of the account information panel and click Delete account. A confirmation dialog will appear with the option to transfer all linked records (events, invoices, contacts, costs, media, notes, and tasks) to a replacement account before deletion.
Warning: Deleting an account is permanent and cannot be undone. Always consider transferring linked records to another account first.
Viewing Revision History
Click the Revisions link in the page actions area to see a detailed history of all changes made to this account, including who made each change and when.
