A tour of the Passcreator dashboard
When you log in at app.passcreator.com you land on your dashboard, the home base of the redesigned interface. This article walks you through what's on screen so you know where to find everything.
The default dashboard
The default dashboard is an analytics overview. At the top of the main area you'll see four summary tiles, Active Registrations, Deactivated Registrations, Passes Created Yesterday and Passes Created This Month, followed by two trend charts, Created Passes and Active Passes, that show how those numbers have moved over recent days.
Across the top right of the page are two controls. A Switch Dashboard dropdown moves between dashboards, and a Manage Dashboards button builds your own (see Custom dashboards below). The default dashboard itself is fixed. It always shows the same overview, so if you want a different set of panels you create a custom dashboard.
The main navigation
The menu on the left is how you move around Passcreator. Passcreator groups the entries, with the everyday areas (Dashboard, Templates, Passes and so on) at the top.
| Menu | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your analytics overview and any custom dashboards you've built. |
| Templates | Design and manage the templates your passes are built from. |
| Passes | View, search, filter, archive and export individual passes. |
| Distribution | Expands into Send Passes (email and SMS sendouts) and Forms (download/landing pages for self-service pass creation). |
| Validation | Configure the Smart Scan app and scanning dashboards for checking passes. |
| Analytics | Track installs, usage and custom dashboards, with UTM and Google Analytics support. |
| Workflows | Build automations from triggers, conditions and actions. |
| Projects | Group templates that share settings, vanity URLs and workflows, and build bundles. |
| Integrations | Connect third-party systems, Shopify, FTP and your API keys. |
| Processes | Create and monitor bulk jobs, such as generating many passes at once. |
| Administration | Admin-only tools (only shown if your account has admin rights). |
- Certificates. Under Settings (profile menu, top right).
- Push notifications & updates. Open them from a template. Open the template, then use Send Push Notification or Publish changes.

- Account, Settings, Subscription, Tools and Logs. In the profile menu, opened from your name at the bottom of the navigation.
Custom dashboards
You can't edit the default dashboard, but you can build your own dashboards with exactly the panels you want.
- On the dashboard, click Manage Dashboards (top right) and create a new dashboard.
- Pick it from the Switch Dashboard dropdown to open it.
- Click Edit Mode to add, remove and rearrange widgets. Available widget types include analytics charts, number tiles, customer stats, device distribution, template details and link buttons.
- Drag a widget to reposition it. Passcreator saves your layout with the dashboard, and it's there next time you log in.
You can keep several custom dashboards and switch between them at any time. The default analytics dashboard always remains available in the same dropdown.
