How to use the Dashboard
Understand your photography — with real data. The Dashboard turns your library into numbers: which cameras you use most, when you shoot, how your sessions flow, and where your photos were taken.
What the Dashboard is
The Dashboard is the analytics module. It reads your library and shows key figures — total images, storage used, average image size, camera distribution — plus monthly trends, a GPS heatmap, and per-camera lens statistics.
Everything is aggregated locally from your database, so the numbers reflect your real workflow, not an estimate.
What it is for
The Dashboard is for photographers who want to understand their own work: what they shoot most, which gear earns its keep, and how busy each month was. It is also the place to generate a clean PDF review for a client or for your own records.
