# Tour the dashboard sidebar The dashboard sidebar lists every section of the bot you can configure for a single server. This page walks through what each one does so you know where to go for what.
The full dashboard sidebar with every section
## The sections ### Home Your server's summary, including how many tickets are open right now and recent activity. ### Panels The messages your members click to open tickets. This is where you will spend most of your setup time. → [Panels overview](/docs/panels/overview.md) ### Templates Save a fully configured panel as a reusable template, or browse the public preset catalog and start a panel from one. → [Templates](/docs/panels/templates.md) ### Ticket History Past and current tickets. Click into any ticket to see its details without leaving the dashboard. → [Browsing open and recent tickets](/docs/tickets-history/browsing-tickets.md) ### Applications If you run application-style panels (membership, staff, partner, and so on), this is the review queue. Accept or deny submissions in one click. → [Applications overview](/docs/applications/overview.md) ### Custom Commands (Premium) Commands the bot responds to with a message in your server. Useful for FAQ answers and scripted replies your staff repeats often. Premium. → [What custom commands are](/docs/custom-commands/overview.md) ### Steam Linking (Premium) Manage members who have linked a Steam account, and require Steam linking on certain ticket options. This section only appears when Steam Linking is enabled. Premium. ### Statistics (Premium) Charts and numbers on ticket volume, resolution time, and staff workload.

Everything that applies to the whole server lives here. → [The server embed color](/docs/customization-and-branding/server-embed-color.md) ### Permissions Who on your team can see and change what. Permission areas you can grant per role, plus Temporary Dashboard Access. → [The two layers of permissions](/docs/permissions-and-your-support-team/two-layers.md) ### Audit Logs A record of actions anyone takes, such as settings edits, panel edits, claims, and closes, with timestamps and who did it. → [What the audit log captures](/docs/audit-logs/what-it-captures.md) ### Bot Personalizer (Premium) Give Ticket King a custom name, avatar, banner, and bio in your server only. Premium. → [Bot Personalizer](/docs/customization-and-branding/bot-personalizer.md) ## Who can see what Not every section appears for every dashboard user. The sidebar is filtered by the **dashboard permissions** assigned to your roles in this server. {% hint style="info" %} **The server owner and anyone with Administrator or Manage Server see everything by default.** Other roles see only what they have been granted access to. If something is missing from your sidebar, ask your server's owner to grant your role the relevant permission area on the **Permissions** page. {% endhint %} The permission areas: | Permission | Controls | | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Info & Statistics** | Viewing server statistics, ticket metrics, and staff performance. | | **Manage Panels** | Creating, editing, and deleting panels and templates. | | **View History** | Ticket history and Steam linking. | | **View Application History** | Application submission history and decisions. | | **Review Applications** | Approving or denying pending applications. | | **Manage Commands** | Creating, editing, and deleting custom commands. | | **Manage Settings** | Server settings and the Bot Personalizer. | | **View Audit Logs** | Reading audit log entries. | | **Manage Permissions** | Configuring which roles can access dashboard sections. | | **Manage Premium** | Viewing and managing the server's premium subscription. | Full breakdown: {% content-ref url="/pages/RK4hI1VK3OmRDu2Okj2Y" %} [Dashboard permission areas](/docs/permissions-and-your-support-team/permission-areas.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Switching servers and the bottom of the sidebar At the top of the sidebar, the current server's name and icon are a dropdown. Click it to switch to another server you manage without going back to the picker. The dropdown also has an **Add Ticket King to Server** button.
