The **Production Dashboard** provides a real-time overview of all production orders and activities in Vestis Labs. It helps teams quickly understand production status, track order progress, and monitor key milestones from creation through shipment.

**Where to find it:** Production → Dashboard
**Requires:** permission `VIEW_BRAND_PRODUCTION`

In the left sidebar, expand **Production** and click **Dashboard**.

## Statistic groups

The top of the dashboard shows three statistic groups.

**Style**

Tracks production progress at the style/design level. Shows how many styles are in each stage of the production lifecycle from creation through delivery.

**SKU**

Monitors individual product variants (size, colour combinations). Provides granular tracking below the style level to understand specific product availability and production status.

**Purchase Order**

Tracks the actual purchase orders placed with factories. Reflects the commercial and logistics side of production including shipping and delivery confirmation.

Each group is a row of cards: **Total**, **Created**, **In Production**, **Production Completed**, **Shipped**, **Delivered** and **Cancelled**. Each card shows:

- Count of styles/SKUs/POs
- Number of units
- Total value (in your brand's base currency)
- Percentage of total (on every card except the total)

## Production health summary

Below the statistic groups, **Production Health Summary** shows how many **Purchase Orders**, **Styles**, **Style Options** and **SKUs** are *On Track*, *At Risk* or *Delayed*, with the count and percentage for each. Click any line to open the [Production overview](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/production-overview/) already filtered to that level and health.

## Active health alerts

**Active Health Alerts** lists production orders that are *At Risk* or *Delayed* right now. Each entry shows its priority (*Critical*, *High*, *Medium* or *Low*), the health badge, the production number, the reason, the supplier, the units affected, the ex-factory date, how many days it is overdue, and a note when the agreed dates were recently amended. Click **View** to open the order details. When nothing needs attention, the card says *No At Risk or Delayed production orders right now.*

![The Active Health Alerts list with the priority, health badge, reason, supplier and a View button for each order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/production/assets/production-dashboard/62-active-alerts.webp)

## Recent orders and upcoming milestones

**Recent Orders** is a quick-access panel showing the **three most recent production orders** created in the system. Each entry displays:

- **Production number** (the PO reference)
- **Supplier name and number of styles** included
- **Current status badge** (for example Created, In Production)

Provides immediate visibility into the latest activity without navigating away from the dashboard.

![The Recent Orders panel with the three newest orders next to the Upcoming Milestones timeline](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/production/assets/production-dashboard/63-recent.webp)

**Upcoming Milestones** lists the next key milestone for each order, with its date and a timeline of the order's progress. When there is nothing coming up, it shows *No upcoming milestones*.

## Alerts & Notifications

When a milestone date has passed without confirmation, an **Alerts & Notifications** card appears. It displays a numbered badge indicating the total active alerts and lists all items requiring attention. The production number in each alert opens the order details.

Alert types:

**Confirm alerts** (production start, production completion, ex-factory and delivery)

- Triggered when the agreed date for a milestone has been reached or has passed without confirmation. The four milestones are **Production Start**, **Production Completion**, **Ex-Factory** and **Delivery**.
- The message says how long ago the agreed date was.
- Action: **Confirm** that the milestone happened. This moves the order to the next status: *In Production* for Production Start, *Completed* for Production Completion, *Shipped* for Ex-Factory and *Delivered* for Delivery.
- **Confirm** only appears if you can update brand production.

**Review alerts**

- Triggered when a completion date has been reached but the order is still *Created*, or when the ex-factory date has been reached but the order is not yet *Completed*.
- Indicates a potential tracking or status update gap.
- Action: **View Details** to review the order and take action.

The alert badge count **decreases** when alerts are resolved.

1. **Click "Confirm"**
   Click **Confirm** on the alert. A **Confirm milestone** dialog opens before anything is finalised. It names the milestone, the production order, and the status the order will change to. This two-step confirmation prevents accidental status updates.

2. **Confirm the milestone**
   In the dialog, click **Confirm**. The milestone is marked as confirmed and the order status is updated with the note "confirmed via dashboard".

3. **Snooze a reminder (optional)**
   Click the bell icon on an alert. Hovering shows the **Snooze reminder** tooltip. Snoozing lets your team temporarily dismiss alerts they are aware of but cannot action immediately.

## Create an order from the dashboard

Fill in the Order Details: category, priority, supplier/factory, payment terms, order name/reference, order date, stock destination, production start/end, Ex-Factory date, VAT rate, VAT registration number, tax jurisdiction, tax status, production notes, shipment method, and delivery address. Then proceed through the next steps to add styles and review before creating.

![The Create Production Order dialog opened from the dashboard, on the Order Details tab](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/production/assets/production-dashboard/77-create-order-dialog.webp)

When the order is created, you are taken to **Order Management**. See [Create production order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/create-production-order/) for every field.
