Tour: the seven things on screen

Updated 2026-04-305 min read

A guided tour of the dashboard layout — nav rail, top bar, search, notifications, user menu, breadcrumbs, and the primary action button.

The dashboard at a glance

After your first sign-in, you'll land on the main dashboard. Everything you need is organized into seven areas.

The seven things on screen

  1. Nav rail (left sidebar) — Your main menu. Every section of Fleet lives here: Overview, Schedule, Vehicles, Incidents, Repairs, Reports, and Settings.
  2. Top bar — Shows the Fleet logo, your organization name, and your role label.
  3. Search — Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) to search for anything: vehicles, drivers, incidents, settings.
  4. Notification bell — Shows unread alerts. Red badge means something needs your attention (a flagged shift, a new incident, an expiring document).
  5. User menu — Click your avatar to access your profile, billing, settings, and sign out.
  6. Breadcrumbs — Shows where you are in the app. Click any part to navigate back.
  7. Primary action — The orange button in the top-right of most pages. It does the most common action for that page (e.g., "Add vehicle" on the Vehicles page, "New shift" on the Schedule page).
NOTE

The nav rail collapses to icons on smaller screens. Click the hamburger menu to expand it.

Getting comfortable quickly

  • Explore without fear. Nothing in the nav rail triggers an action just by clicking. You can browse every section to understand what's available without changing any data.
  • Learn the keyboard shortcut Cmd+K / Ctrl+K first. Global search is the fastest way to jump to any vehicle, driver, or incident without navigating through menus.
  • Bookmark your most-used pages. Fleet encodes filters and views in the URL, so browser bookmarks preserve your exact context — including active filters and date ranges.
  • Check the notification bell before logging off. Unread notifications don't expire, so a missed alert today becomes two alerts tomorrow.
