Once you have logged into Rave, or clicked on the Home icon – you will land on "or return to" the Rave homepage/dashboard. At the top right of the home screen, and on any other screen within Rave – you'll see the main navigation buttons. Here's a quick rundown:

  • The Home icon - Clicking this icon returns you to the homepage/dashboard.
  • CRM - Your link to the CRM portal, where you can add new Leads/Clients, and manage existing Leads/Clients – such as access your Client's profile, Enquiries (leads), updating their Sales Pipeline, and adding follow-up actions.
  • Projects - Your link to the Projects portal, where you can add and manage your Projects, access your Project information, and view Enquiry and Client information.
       Note: Only those with the Project Module will see this button and can access this portal.

  • Financial - Your link to the Financial Portal, where you can create proposals, manage quote requests and quotes, track purchase orders, bills, and invoicing workflows, and access a suite of powerful financial reporting tools.
       Note: Only those with the Financial Module will see this button and can access this portal.

  • Contractors/Contacts - This is where you can add and manage your contractors, suppliers, and contacts.
  • Calendar - Provides a month-by-month snapshot of your actions, appointments, and tasks. 
  • Reporting - This is where you access a full suite of reports at a Company, Branch or Salesperson level. Access to reporting is permissions-based.
  • Help - Your link to the Rave Help portal, where you can access Rave's video tutorials and FAQS. You can also log a support ticket or submit a development suggestion.
  • Your Profile icon - To the right of the Help button is your profile drop-down icon (a teal-coloured circle with your initials). Clicking on this icon gives you access to your Rave notifications, messages, profile settings, and Branch settings. Access to branch settings is permissions-based.


You may also see the alert badges to the top left and right of your profile icon.

  • A red badge to the left - Counts any new Rave notifications.
  • A white badge to the right - Counts any new Rave messages.




Homepage/Dashboard


As our Homepage/Dashboard is still being upgraded, we've provided some samples below – watch this space for more updates in Phase 2.



Sales Person Dashboard 
Salespeople who have a custom forecast set will be able to track their expected sales targets vs actuals via a Sales Performance dashboard containing a Projects and Contracted Value speedometer graphs. These graphs can display up to 3 different colours:

  • Teal - Indicates how many Projects and signed contracts (by value) you have secured in real time.
  • Grey - If your numbers are below the forecasted amounts, the remainder of the speedometer will display grey.
  • Gold - This means you have surpassed your forecast amounts!


Salespeople will also see their 'My Enquiries' list with filters and a 'Leads & Clients' button to quickly access the CRM Leads & Clients screen.


For a more in-depth look at the CRM Leads & Clients page, check out Rave's CRM Leads & Clients Tab Overview FAQ.  




Your Salesperson Reports

As a Salesperson, you can click on your dashboard's 'Sales Reporting' button to quickly access your sales reports. This opens your Salesperson Reporting screen, displaying the following:

  • Overview - A summary report of your Enquiries, Sales, and Signed Contracts.
  • My Enquiries - Displays all of your Enquiries and where they sit in your Sales Pipeline and Priority, within a given date range.
  • Won Enquiries - Totals all of your won Enquiries by Total Signed Contract Value, also displayed within a given date range.
