Dashboard
The Dashboard is your starting point in Line Budgeter. It provides a snapshot of your projects, along with news, updates, and quick access to key areas of the application.

Quick List
When you first begin, this area displays a placeholder image until you create your first budget. An example budget is also included to help you explore the powerful features of Line Budgeter.
The Quick List contains three sections:
-
Recent
Displays the 15 most recently opened budgets. You can also pin important budgets so they remain easily accessible. -
Pinned
Displays only budgets that you have pinned to the Dashboard. -
Shared with Me
Displays the most recent budget files shared with you by other users.
Newsblock
The Newsblock displays informational cards featuring updates, announcements, tax incentive news, and other relevant information about Line Budgeter.
My Library
The My Library section provides quick access to:
-
Project Library

Shared with Me

Application Updates
When a new version of Line Budgeter is available, a notification will appear on the Dashboard.
When ready, click Update Now to install the update and launch the latest version.

Profile Switching
Line Budgeter allows you to work with both:
- Your personal Project Library
- Shared Workspaces
These environments are separate. Use the Profile Switcher to move between them.

The Profile Switcher only appears if you have a personal Project Library and are a member of at least one Workspace.
