Home is where you land when you open FrontDesk — a single glance that tells you what needs doing today. Find it at the top of the left navigation.
Needs attention
The top card is a short, prioritized list of things that need a person right now. Depending on your account, it can surface:
- Unread messages waiting for a reply
- Overdue balances to collect
- Unconfirmed appointments for tomorrow
- Patients due for recall
- Setup steps that aren't finished (like verifying your sending email)
- Trial reminders and new support replies
Handle an item, then click Dismiss to clear it. Dismissing only tidies your list — it never deletes the underlying message, balance, or appointment. Most items come back the next day if still relevant; a finished setup step stays cleared.
Today's schedule
A time-ordered view of your day:
- Booked slots show the patient, service, provider, duration, and confirmation status.
- Open slots are clickable — book straight into one, or open the full Calendar.
- If today is empty, you'll get quick actions to fill from the waitlist or book an appointment.
- A footer shows your next appointment after today.
The right column
- Tomorrow's confirmations — confirmed / pending / total at a glance, with a link to manage them.
- Messages — your most recent unread conversations, linking into the Inbox.
- Calls — how many calls the AI handled today and yesterday, linking to your call reports and logs.
Good to know
- It's a launchpad, not a separate system. Every card links to the full page where you take action.
- It personalizes to your plan and setup. You'll only see cards that apply to you — for example, the email-setup nudge disappears once your sender is verified.
