ANTE User ManualPOS Dashboard
The POS Dashboard is the opening screen of the Point of Sale module. It answers the question a store owner asks every morning: how is the counter doing today? A row of counters sits across the top and a set of widgets below shows the last 30 days of sales, what sold, how customers paid, and whether the counter devices are online. You reach it at Point of Sale → Dashboard.
The numbers on this dashboard are currently sample data that the screen generates for itself. It is not yet connected to your real sales. For real figures use the Sales Report and the Analytics Reports.

| Today's Sales | The money taken today. |
