Finding your way around the dashboard

The dashboard is organised around one active server. Every action, statistic and setting on screen applies to that server. Open it directly from the Kotbo Dashboard ↗.

The real dashboard overview — the data shown is fictitious.

The four areas to know

1. The active server, in the top bar. Click it to switch servers.
2. The sidebar, grouped by purpose: General, Moderation, Security, XP system, Economy & RPG, Community, Staff, Cross-server and Configuration. Right at the bottom, outside those groups, sit Administration (reserved for the instance administrators), Billing and your profile.
3. The main area, which shows the page you picked and its actions.
4. Your profile, in the top right, to replay the tutorial, open your settings or sign out.

The overview

The home page brings together everything your team needs at a glance: members, online activity, voice channel usage, growth and recent events.

The Edit layout button lets you move, hide or resize the blocks. Your layout is personal: it does not change what the rest of the staff sees.

Unsaved changes

On configuration pages, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen as soon as a setting changes. Click Save before moving to another page. Kotbo warns you if you try to leave with pending changes.

Quick navigation

Shortcut	Action
/	Search the sidebar
Ctrl + K	Search the sidebar (twice: command palette)
Ctrl + G	Switch server
G then D, or Ctrl + Shift + D	Open the overview
G then M, or Ctrl + Shift + M	Open members
G then C, or Ctrl + Shift + C	Open the Management center
G then L, or Ctrl + Shift + L	View the activity logs
Ctrl + Shift + N	Show every shortcut

Shortcuts do not fire while you are typing in a field or a text area.

The command palette knows the tabs too

A page such as Economy & RPG or Analytics splits its content into tabs. The palette knows them: searching for “bestiary” or “retention” takes you straight to the right tab, without going through the page first.

The emoji picker

Everywhere a setting asks for an emoji - reactions, ticket panels, rules, shop, welcome messages - the picker offers three sources:

• Emojis: the standard Unicode emojis.
• Server: your server’s custom emojis, with the number of slots used.
• Upload: create an emoji directly on the server from an image (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WEBP), giving it a name.

Uploading needs a permission

The bot lacks the “Manage Expressions” permission on this server, or you are not an administrator. The Server tab shows Server emojis unavailable when Kotbo cannot read them.

Badges and page states

• Beta: the feature works but may still change. You can report a problem from the banner on the page.
• WIP: the feature is not available yet, or needs specific activation.
• Module disabled: the page can disappear from the navigation until the module is enabled.

Carry on with enabling your modules.
