Needs attention

The Needs attention card at the top of the dashboard lists the things waiting on you: a proposal opened or accepted, a client who has sent what you asked for, an invoice gone overdue. It shows your unread notifications, so it empties as you read them.

The Needs attention card on the dashboard, listing recent events such as a proposal accepted and an invoice overdue, each with its date
The card only appears when there is something unread.

How to clear it

  1. Click an item on the card to go to the proposal, project or invoice it is about, and deal with it.
  2. Open the bell in the top bar and click the same notification, or click Mark all read.
  3. Reload the dashboard. Read items no longer show, and when nothing is left the card disappears.

What lands here

The card shows the eight newest unread notifications for your business. Each one names the event, a short title and the date.

Clicking through from the card takes you to the right page, but does not mark the item read on its own. Mark it read from the bell or the Notifications page.

Shared by the whole team

Read state is shared across your business. When a colleague marks a notification read, it is read for you too — one person handling an alert handles it for everyone. The exception is a notification meant for one person, such as task assigned, which only that person sees.

Some events come from a daily check rather than from something a person did: a proposal that has sat opened for more than five days without a reply, and an invoice past its due date. Each of those is raised once.

When AI has been used this month, the card also shows a count of AI calls, so you can keep an eye on usage.
