# Tour the dashboard

The dashboard is at [/dashboard](/dashboard). It's the operator view
for your account: balance, usage, eco impact, and shortcuts to the
things you'll change most often.

## The landing page

When you first land, four widgets are visible above the fold:

- **Credit balance** — the current credit balance in your account
  currency, with a button to top up. The big number is what's left;
  the small number is what's been spent in the current calendar month.
- **Usage today** — total tokens and total cost so far today, broken
  out by model. Click any model to filter the rest of the page.
- **Top models (last 30 days)** — a horizontal bar chart ranking the
  models you used most by token count.
- **Eco impact** — the energy and carbon estimate for the same window,
  with a comparison to a baseline you choose (see *Eco panel* below).

Below the widgets, the **Recent transactions** table shows the last
~50 generations: timestamp, model, provider, region, tokens, cost, and
the carbon estimate. Click any row to see the full record on its own
page.

## Drill into a transaction

The transaction detail page shows the full request record:

- The generation ID (you can copy it).
- Resolved model, provider, region, latency.
- Token counts (prompt, completion, total).
- Eco numbers with the methodology version that produced them.
- Routing trace: which providers were considered, which one was
  picked, and why (the cheapest, the lowest-carbon, the closest, …).

Prompt and response *content* are not shown — we don't store it.

## Eco panel

The eco impact widget compares the last 30 days of your usage against a
**baseline**. The baseline is a hypothetical: "what would this same
usage have looked like if I'd used model X instead?" It's a
back-of-envelope check, not a guarantee. The number it shows is
honest about uncertainty:

- The value is computed from the same energy formula and grid
  intensities as every other carbon number on the platform.
- The "you saved" framing only appears when the baseline you picked
  has a higher per-token energy estimate than your actual usage. If
  your usage was higher-energy than your baseline, the panel says so.
- When confidence is low (small samples, models whose parameters are
  estimated rather than verified), the number is shown with a
  reduced-confidence indicator and the underlying caveats are linked
  inline.

Pick or change the baseline from **Settings → Eco baseline**.

## Where everything else is

- **Keys** — create, scope, rotate, revoke. See
  [api-keys management](../guides/api-keys).
- **Credits** — top up, view receipts. See
  [credits and billing](../guides/credits-and-billing).
- **Invoices** — billing history; same data as the email receipts but
  downloadable as PDF.
- **Auto-routing** — set defaults for `lowrouter/auto`: prefer-region,
  prefer-low-carbon, fixed-provider, and per-key overrides. See
  [routing](../models/routing).
- **Settings** — profile, eco baseline, notification preferences,
  account deletion.

## Mobile

The dashboard is usable on a phone — header collapses to a hamburger
menu, charts switch to a single-column layout. It's not yet built for
heavy operations on mobile (large CSV exports, multi-key bulk edits);
those flows are still desktop-first.

## Next

You're set up. The [User guides](../guides/api-keys) section goes
deeper on the day-to-day operations. The
[API reference](../api-reference/overview) covers everything you can
do over HTTP.
