High Dashboards system

Action Queue Dashboard

A do-this-next dashboard that inverts traditional reporting: instead of metrics, it surfaces the prioritized list of records that need human action right now — overdue follow-ups, leads with no owner, booked-but-not-confirmed, hot leads untouched past SLA, no-shows to recover, hygiene errors to fix — each as a clickable worklist item. It composes signals from across the suite into one ranked queue. The capstone view that makes the analytics actionable rather than observational.

01 // System facts

System facts

Action Queue Dashboard uses a reporting model and review layer for Dashboards. A do-this-next dashboard that inverts traditional reporting: instead of metrics, it surfaces the prioritized list of records that need human action... The architecture connects with the owner, supabase postgres, sql, and owner review with an explicit control path.

Outcome

Turns the whole analytics suite into a single prioritized worklist — owners open one screen and know exactly what to do next, so high-value actions (unowned hot leads, unconfirmed bookings) stop slipping through the cracks.

Main risk

An overstuffed or poorly prioritized queue becomes noise; if everything is 'urgent', people ignore it and it adds work instead of focus.

Prevention

Rank by agreed priority, cap/triage what's shown, dedupe multi-trigger records, and ensure completed items immediately leave the queue so it stays trustworthy and short.

Fallback

If composing every trigger is too much initially, ship the two highest-value triggers (e.g. unowned leads + overdue follow-ups) as the queue and add trigger types incrementally once the ranking proves useful.

How it is built

Build steps

A do-this-next dashboard that inverts traditional reporting: instead of metrics, it surfaces the prioritized list of records that need human action right now — overdue follow-ups, leads with no owner, booked-but-not-confirmed, hot leads untouched past SLA, no-shows to recover, hygiene errors to fix — each as a clickable worklist item. It composes signals from across the suite into one ranked queue. The capstone view that makes the analytics actionable rather than observational.

  1. 01With the owner, enumerate the action triggers and their priority (e.g. unowned lead > hot-lead-stale > booked-unconfirmed > overdue follow-up > hygiene error) and the rule that defines each.
  2. 02Write SQL that unions these triggers into a single queue with a record reference, reason, age, and priority score, deduping records that hit multiple triggers.
  3. 03Build a ranked queue (server component) showing top actions first, each with reason/age and a deep link to act in the CRM/admin, plus a count badge per trigger type.
  4. 04Add 'queue health' numbers (total open actions, oldest action age) and ensure the queue refreshes so cleared items drop off, keeping it a live worklist not a stale list.

  • SQL (UNION / prioritization)
  • Next.js 16 server components
  • Cross-suite views
  • Admin deep links
  • Inputs layer: With the owner, enumerate the action triggers and their priority (e.g. unowned lead > hot-lead-stale > booked-unconfirmed > overdue follow-up > hygiene error) and the rule that defines each.
  • Transform layer: Write SQL that unions these triggers into a single queue with a record reference, reason, age, and priority score, deduping records that hit multiple triggers.
  • Metrics layer: Supabase Postgres contributes the trusted model for Action Queue Dashboard so metrics are defined before they are visualized.
  • Visualization layer: SQL (UNION / prioritization) handles refresh, review, or reporting delivery while rank by agreed priority, cap/triage what's shown, dedupe multi-trigger records, and ensure completed items immediately leave the queue so it stays...
