BayBoard has one main screen, the schedule board. Everything else is a short trip from the left rail or the top bar.
Left rail
The rail on the left holds the main places in BayBoard.
- Schedule opens the board.
- Reports opens Today, Scoreboard, or My hours, based on the role you signed in with.
- Settings and Support are pinned at the bottom.
Use the collapse and expand buttons to shrink the rail to icons or bring it back. You can also jump with the keyboard: press G then S for Schedule, G then R for Reports, G then , (comma) for Settings, and G then H for Support. Press the second key within one second.
Top bar
On the schedule, the top bar has three parts.
- The notifications bell shows your in-app alerts. See Notifications.
- Search finds jobs, customers, vehicles, and VINs. Click it or press Ctrl+K on Windows, Cmd+K on Mac. See Search.
- Board actions, Auto Schedule, Carry Forward, and Reset Day, appear for Owner / Admin, General Manager, and Service Advisor on the board.
The top bar also holds day navigation. Use the chevrons to move to the previous or next open day, click the date to pick a day from the calendar, or click Today. Closed days are skipped. See Schedule board for the full board layout.
The account button at the bottom of the rail shows your name and role. Click it for My Profile, Keyboard shortcuts, Help & Support, and Sign Out.
Settings
Settings opens as a dialog over the schedule. The sections run down the left side. Which sections you see depends on your role. Close it with the X in the corner.
If you leave a section with unsaved changes, BayBoard asks “Discard unsaved changes?”. Click Keep Editing to go back or Discard Changes to drop them.
Support
Opening Support lands on Ask BayBoard. The left rail under Support is Ask BayBoard, Contact Support, System Status, Shortcuts, and Legal.
Legal opens https://bayboard.io/legal in a new browser tab. It is not a page in this help site.
Documentation and What’s New are buttons on Ask BayBoard. They open this help site and the changelog in new tabs. They are not left-rail rows. There is no in-app docs reader.
Open Support from the rail, press Ctrl+/ (Cmd+/ on Mac), or press G then H. Press Ctrl+J (Cmd+J on Mac) to open Ask BayBoard. Press ? anywhere to see the keyboard shortcut list.
Focus mode
Press Ctrl+B (Cmd+B on Mac) to collapse the rail, the Shop Performance strip, and the Unassigned panel all at once. Press it again to bring them back. BayBoard remembers this setting in your browser.
