How Home Works
The dashboard deliberately shows you only a compact overview. Some tiles show clear states. Other tiles are calculated from platform data. This page helps you interpret what you see correctly.
The basic idea is what matters: the Home area is meant to give you quick signals. When you need details, you then go to Calendar, Posts, or Insights.
KPIs: What are they for?
KPIs in the Home area are a quick health check.
- They show trends, not the whole truth.
- They help you decide whether you should currently plan, approve, create, or analyze.
- They don't replace detailed analysis in Insights.
Which KPIs are "state" and which are "data"?
A simple rule of thumb:
- State tiles depend primarily on your workflow.
- Example: My reviews.
- If something shows up here, something is genuinely waiting for you.
- Data tiles depend on platform data and sync.
- Example: "Published posts", performance signals, or best performer.
- These tiles may update with a delay.
Best performer: What does it mean?
The best performer is the post that stands out the most in the selected time period, based on the available platform data.
This means:
- It's not a "seal of quality", but a learning signal.
- Depending on the platform, a post can be "better" because it has more reach, more likes, or more comments.
- If platform data is limited, the selection may be more simplified.
So always use the best performer like this:
- What was the hook?
- Which format (Reel, carousel, Short)?
- Which message?
- Which CTA?
Why can numbers differ or "lag behind"?
This is usually not a bug, but due to typical factors:
- Platform data doesn't always arrive in real time.
- Some platforms provide fewer details via their APIs.
- Accounts may be disconnected or tokens may need to be renewed.
If something looks off to you, the best next step is:
- Check your accounts.
- Then open the post in Community Insights.
✅ Quick start: How to use the Home logic correctly
- Reviews are "hard" and should be worked through first.
- Upcoming posts shows you whether planning is missing.
- Best performer is your shortcut to the next idea.
✅ Remember: Workflow tiles are reliably instant. Data tiles can be delayed.
