Understanding Your Dashboard

A tour of the GameGrid dashboard - server cards, status indicators, and quick actions.

Server Cards

The Dashboard is headed "My Servers". Your servers are grouped inside the plan that pays for them: each plan card shows its name, how many of its slots are in use, its region, and the servers in it.

A server card shows the name, the game, the state, the connect address and the player count. The state is shown as the platform records it — "Status: running", "Status: stopped" — with two friendlier cases: a server still being built reads "Setting up" with "Your server is being provisioned...", and a server whose plan has lapsed reads "Deactivated" with a prompt to renew.

The colour-coded Online / Offline / Starting / Stopping / Failed badge is on the server panel itself, in the status bar at the top of every tab, not on the dashboard card.

Click "Manage" to open the server panel, which has tabs for Overview, Settings, Events, Files, Console, Mods, Admin and Backups, plus Economy, Live Map, Game Tools or WindRose Plus where the game has them.

Quick Actions

Each server card carries the same row of links: Manage, Settings, Files, Mods, Console, Admin and Backups — plus Economy on the games that have one, and a red Delete for accounts whose role allows it.

The "Manage" link opens the Overview tab, where the address, resource usage and start/stop controls are.

If a new build of your game has been detected, an "Update available" badge appears on the card. Applying it is done on the Admin tab.

Server Bundles

Each plan card shows "N of M slots used" beside its name, and its region as a pill on the right. You can rename a plan by clicking its name.

While a slot is free, a "+ Add Server" button sits at the bottom of the card and takes you to Create New Server with that plan already selected.

When every slot is in use the button is replaced by "All slots in use - delete a server to switch games". Deleting a server frees its slot immediately; see Swap Games.

"Manage Plan" next to it is where you add slots or change the plan itself. The billing box in the corner of the card shows the plan name, its status, and either the next billing date or how long is left on a one-time plan.
