Handbid Dashboard

Your Main Dashboard shows a summary of all your events in Handbid over time.  This will be a cumulative report as you continue to run events on the platform. 

The Organization Tab

Just above the main panel will be your organization's name.  Next to it will be an edit box where you can edit your organization settings. To get more information on editing these settings, please read this article: Editing your Organizational Settings.
