How do I read the WMS overview dashboard?

Last updated: May 19, 2026

Quick answer

Use this article to understand what the WMS overview dashboard is showing before you decide what needs attention today.

Common use cases

  • Warehouse lead: Start the day by checking whether orders, exceptions, and fulfillment pace need attention.
  • Operations manager: Compare high-level warehouse health before opening detailed order, receiving, return, or performance views.
  • Fulfillment coordinator: Identify whether late, back-order, or on-hold counts need order review before work is assigned.

When to use this

  • You want to know what the main Overview cards mean.
  • You need to decide which warehouse workflow to inspect next.
  • You are looking at late orders, back orders, on-hold orders, or real-time performance from the dashboard.

When not to use this

  • You need the exact formula behind a dashboard metric.
  • You are validating billing, SLA performance, labor performance, or a customer dispute.
  • A dashboard number conflicts with the order list, an export, Shopify, or the physical warehouse count. In that case, compare the source views and escalate.

Common issues and next actions

If this happensWhat to do next
A number looks wrong.Check that you are in the right workspace and warehouse context. Compare the number against the matching order view or export before treating it as a dashboard issue.
A metric shows a dash.That metric may not have data for the selected context, or it may not be enabled for that workflow. Do not assume it is a failure unless you expected activity there.
Back orders or on-hold orders are not zero.Use the order views to inspect the affected orders. Contact us if the orders are blocking fulfillment or the dashboard count does not match the order list.
The dashboard does not match the warehouse floor.Take a screenshot, capture the warehouse or account context, and compare against the order list or product stock view. The dashboard may be summarizing a different filter, time window, or status set.
