Dashboard

See Manage > Dashboard.  Basic users will find Dashboard at the upper left, where Admin users see “Manage”.

Custom Pages:
Create custom full HTML pages to share anything you want. Examples might include contact lists, hours, directions, news, getting started guides, etc. Dashboard is the first one. Tap Edit in the upper right to edit the page. Use the small dropdown on the Edit button to add more pages.

To configure Groups allowed to access/view pages, click Dashboard > Select Page > Edit Page and select the desired Group(s) where it shows “Limit Access to”.

Files
Files can be uploaded and shared with all users. Examples: new user application, aircraft weight & balance, POHs, etc. Create folders to stay organize. You can make Files private so only Admins see them. You can also nest folders.

Files by Group – In Dashboard > Files > Options > Edit > Limit Access to Groups (Add Groups).

All users can see Dashboard.  Only appointed groups can manage/edit.

In your User Settings you have the option to choose a Default landing page for new users. If Dashboard is selected it will be the first page to appear when a user logs in.

If Member Directory is enabled, it will appear on the left side in the Dashboard. You can enable Member Directory in your User Settings. Manage > User Settings. If users have Social Profile information filled in it will show here. Users can add their Social Profile information by going to their name in the far right corner > Settings > Social Profile. 

If Members Directory is enabled, in Dashboard it will show first and last name, phone number, and the last time and next time they are scheduled to fly. If you tap on the user’s name it will then show more information like email address and social profile. 

Setup.

Add Groups who can help manage Dashboard Files and Pages here. The Administrators Group is set as default.

Note: Most files in Flight Circle generate secure links so they can’t be used elsewhere, not even in Flight Circle otherwise, because they expire.  You can use any publicly hosted image in Flight Circle where you can show or embed images (eg. from your website, GoDaddy, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc).  You can also generate links to files and images hosted by us if they are in Dashboard > Files.  For a File, use Options > Copy Link (users will still need to be logged in to Flight Circle to see the image).

If you use Dropbox to generate links, change the last bit from ‘dl=0’ to ‘dl=1’ (d like download).

Google Drive does not appear to allow hosting publicly available images or files.
