# Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard functions as the application's control center, providing key statistics on signing activity, certificate status, and centralized navigation to all core features.

## Application Header and Controls

| **Settings Icon** (⚙️) | Provides access to global application configuration settings, user preferences, and system management options. |
| **Profile/User Icon** | Accesses user account management, including profile details and the application logout function. |

## Navigation Sidebar

## Document Signing Statistics

This section summarizes the volume of successful document signing activity across defined periods:

- **Today**: Displays the total count of documents successfully signed on the current calendar day.
- **Last 30 Days, Last 90 Days, Last 365 Days**: Show the rolling count of documents successfully signed within these respective historical windows.

Each card includes a trend indicator reflecting performance compared to the previous period. The metric is based on final signed documents.

## Certificate Status Overview

This area monitors the status and inventory of all digital certificates configured within the system:

- **Total Certificates:** Reports the total number of certificates configured. The accompanying text indicates how many of these are currently **Configured** and active.

- **Certificates Expiring Within Next 30 Days:** This critical warning indicator shows the count of active certificates scheduled to expire within the next 30 days.

- **Review Certificates**: Provides direct navigation to the Certificate Manager for certificate maintenance.

## Recently Signed Documents

This section functions as a quick-access activity log, displaying the most recent document signing transactions.

Each entry lists the **File Name**, the **Signed By** user (who signed the document), the **Department** context, the **Certificate Name** used, and the **Date** of the successful signing.

> The **Show More** link, located in the top right, directs the user to the full Documents module for a complete transaction history. The section displays a fixed, recent number of entries.
