What is this? Your boat’s home screen in YACHTWAVE — a grid of tiles, one for each area of the boat, each showing how many items it holds.
The Basics
The Dashboard is the way in to everything about the selected yacht. The boat’s name and initials sit at the top, and below them is a grid of tiles (two across on a phone, three or four on a tablet). Tap a tile to open that area.
Depending on your boat’s plan and your role, you’ll see tiles such as Tasks, Tickets, Mechanical, Equipment, Maintenance, Inventory, Provisions, Checklists, Cruise Logs, Expenses, Contacts, Notes, Photos, Documents, Crew, Official Log, Readings, Details, and Import / Export.
The YachtLINK®, Summary, and Location tiles sit at the top of the grid, marked NEW. Summary shows live values from a YachtLINK® device; Location shows the boat on a map and its home port.
Key Things on This Screen
- Count badges — the number on each tile is how many items that area holds. On Tasks it is the open tasks due within the next 30 days (overdue ones included). On Tickets it is the open tickets.
- Evaluation banner — on a trial plan, a banner above the tiles shows how many days are left. It turns red when fewer than 5 days remain.
- Share button (top right) — opens a report of this boat in your phone’s web browser.
- ? (top right) — opens this help page.
- Details tile — the boat’s name, HIN, specs, and registration. See Yacht Overview.
- Import / Export tile — explains the steps, then opens the YACHTWAVE web app’s import / export page for this boat.
- Vessel ID (bottom of the screen) — the boat’s YACHTWAVE number. Support may ask for it.
Tips
- Use the Tasks count as your daily check. If it isn’t zero, something is due in the next month or already overdue.
- Log Readings regularly so hour-based service schedules stay accurate.
- A tile you expect isn’t there? Tiles appear only when the boat’s plan includes that area and, on an organization’s boat, when your role is allowed to see it.
Troubleshooting
- “The Tasks count doesn’t match the Tasks list.” — The badge counts only open tasks due within 30 days (or overdue). Tasks due later, and tickets, are not in it. Open Tasks for the full list.
- “I can’t find a tile I used to see.” — Your boat’s plan may have changed, or your organization may have changed what your role can see. Ask the boat’s owner or your organization’s administrator.
- “The counts look out of date.” — Go back to My Boats and pull down to refresh, then open the boat again.
Frequently Asked
How is the Dashboard different from My Tasks?
The Dashboard is this one boat's way in to every area. My Tasks is the full task list across all yachts you have access to.
Can I see the Dashboard for multiple yachts at once?
Not on the mobile app — each Dashboard is for one yacht. Switch yachts by going back to My Boats and tapping another tile.
Can I rearrange or hide tiles?
No. The tiles and their order are set by the app, your boat's plan, and (on an organization's boat) your organization's settings.
