Supplier dashboards serve as the primary landing page suppliers see when they log in to FoodLogiQ. These dashboards help suppliers understand what actions are required, monitor their compliance status, and access resources provided by your organization. Community Owners are responsible for maintaining both dashboard experiences for their suppliers.
FoodLogiQ includes two supplier-facing dashboards:
- Supplier Onboarding Dashboard – displayed to suppliers who are in an onboarding status
- Supplier Dashboard – displayed to suppliers who have been moved into an active supplier status
Note
The dashboard a supplier sees is determined by their supplier status. When a supplier transitions from an onboarding status to an active status, FoodLogiQ automatically displays the appropriate dashboard.
Dashboard Configuration
To configure a supplier dashboard, navigate to the dashboard area and select either Supplier Onboarding or Supplier Dashboard from the dashboard tabs.
Each dashboard is configured independently. Changes made to the onboarding dashboard do not affect the active supplier dashboard, and vice versa. This allows you to create a focused onboarding experience for new suppliers while providing a different experience for suppliers who are already participating in your community.
Supplier Onboarding
The Supplier Onboarding Dashboard is designed to help suppliers complete the requirements needed to become an approved member of your community. Many organizations use this dashboard to guide suppliers through onboarding tasks, provide training resources, and answer common questions. When configuring the dashboard, prioritize the information and resources suppliers are most likely to need during the onboarding process.
Using Community Announcements (Supplier Onboarding Only)
One of the most effective ways to communicate with suppliers during onboarding is with a community announcement. Community announcements can be used to provide:
- Welcome messages
- Training resources
- Knowledge base links
- Support contact information
- Community updates
- Program-specific instructions
- Click into the box with the orange header
- Add announcements to share with your onboarding supplier
Supplier Dashboard
Once a supplier has completed onboarding, their focus shifts from setup activities to maintaining compliance and participating in your supply chain programs.
The Supplier Dashboard should provide visibility into ongoing requirements and supplier performance. Depending on the FoodLogiQ products your organization uses, this may include document management, assessments, product and location information, quality activities, recalls, or reporting metrics.
Managing Widgets
Widgets allow you to customize the information displayed on each dashboard. Community Owners can add, remove, and rearrange widgets to highlight the resources, tasks, and metrics most relevant to suppliers. Changes made to a supplier dashboard apply to all suppliers who use that dashboard.
Add a Widget
- Navigate to either Supplier Onboarding or Supplier Dashboard.
- Click the + icon in the upper-right corner of the dashboard.
- Browse the available widget categories.
- Select the widget you want to add.
Once added, the widget will appear on your dashboard.
