Dashboard
Components → DC Leads → Dashboard is the component's start page. It shows lead counts, a health check of your setup and the latest leads.
Lead Counts
| Tile | Counts | Opens |
|---|---|---|
| Leads today | Leads received since midnight | Leads from today |
| Last 7 days | Leads received in the last 7 days | Leads from that date on |
| Last 30 days | Leads received in the last 30 days | Leads from that date on |
| Still new | Leads with the status New, of any age | Leads filtered to New |
Days follow your own time zone. Leads with the status Spam are left out, so each tile matches the list it opens. Still new turns red while it is above zero.
Is Everything Working?
Every check is run each time the Dashboard opens. Checks that need a look are listed first, each with a button to the screen that fixes it. Passed checks are folded into "[n] other checks passed" below them.
| Check | Fine | Needs attention | Broken | Fix link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How mail is sent | Mail goes through SMTP | Mail goes through PHP mail or sendmail, which often lands in spam | Send Mail is off in Global Configuration | Open Global Configuration |
| From address | The sender address is shown | The sender is not on your site's domain or the Global Configuration sender's domain, so inboxes may treat it as spam | The sender is not a valid email address | Open Settings when From email is set in DC Leads, else Open Global Configuration |
| Who is told about new leads | Lists the addresses lead emails go to | Email me new leads is off. Leads are still stored | No valid address to send lead emails to | Open Settings |
| Delivery in the last 30 days | Every lead email went out | – | Shows how many lead emails were not sent | Show these leads |
| Spam protection | A captcha and the honeypot are on | Only the honeypot is on. Add a captcha if spam gets through | – | Open Settings |
| Campaign tracking | The DC Leads system plugin is on | – | The plugin is off. Leads will not record the ad, and saving Permissions resets Settings | Open the plugin |
| Forms on the site | At least one published DC Leads module or menu item | No form is on the site yet | – | Add a module |
| License and updates | Shows the license status and expiry date | No license key entered. Forms keep working | The key is expired, over its site limit, for another product or not recognised. Forms keep working | Open Settings |
Delivery in the last 30 days is shown only while Email me new leads is on, and does not count leads with the status Spam. Show these leads opens the lead list filtered to Email not sent, where you can select them and click Resend email.
The license check asks the store again at most once a day, or straight away after the key changes.
Latest Leads
The five most recent leads, not counting spam, with their status, form and how long ago they arrived. A lead whose notification email failed shows Email not sent. View all opens the full lead list.
