# Dashboard

> An overview of the NavNX dashboard, including stat cards, upcoming surgeries, and quick actions.

## Dashboard

The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It provides a summary of your surgical planning activity and quick access to common tasks.

## Stat Cards

At the top of the dashboard, four stat cards display key metrics:

| Card                   | Description                                   |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Cases**        | The number of cases in your organisation      |
| **Active Plans**       | Cases currently in draft or preop status      |
| **Upcoming Surgeries** | Cases with a planned date in the next 14 days |
| **Patients**           | Total patient records in your organisation    |

## Upcoming Surgeries

Below the stat cards, the **Upcoming Surgeries** section lists cases with a planned surgery date in the near future. Each entry shows:

* Patient name
* Procedure type (e.g., ACL Reconstruction)
* Side (Left / Right)
* Planned date
* Case status

Click any row to open the case detail page.

## Recent Cases

The **Recent Cases** section shows the cases you have most recently viewed or edited, regardless of their planned date. This makes it easy to resume work on a plan you started earlier.

## Quick Actions

Two quick-action buttons are available at the top of the dashboard:

* **New Case** — opens the case creation form (see [Creating a Case](/cases/creating-a-case))
* **New Patient** — opens the patient creation form (see [Managing Patients](/patients/managing-patients))

<Tip>
  You can also create a new case or patient from the global search palette (**Ctrl+K**) by typing "new case" or "new patient".
