Getting Started

Dashboard Navigation

Learn how to navigate the SYNTHET dashboard, access your server settings, and manage modules effectively through an intuitive interface.

Accessing the Dashboard

The SYNTHET dashboard is accessible online at any time from your browser. Here's how to get started:

Step 1: Navigate to Dashboard

Visit the SYNTHET dashboard URL in your web browser. You'll be presented with a login screen.

Step 2: Discord OAuth Login

Click "Login with Discord" to authenticate using your Discord account. This secure OAuth flow verifies your identity and server permissions without exposing your password.

Step 3: Select Your Server

After logging in, you'll see a list of servers where you have manage permissions. Only servers where you're an admin or have the required permissions will appear. Click on a server to access its dashboard.

  • • Enable/disable toggles and quick actions
  • • Links to related submodules or advanced settings

Settings Pages

Provide detailed configuration options for specific aspects. These pages include:

  • • Deep configuration dialogs and forms
  • • Advanced options for power users

  • • Channel selection, role assignment, and permissions

The Overview Page

The Overview page is your server's command center, displayed when you first enter the dashboard. It provides real-time insights and quick access to common actions.

Member Statistics

Shows your server's total member count, new members today, active members, and growth trends over the past 7 and 30 days.

Message Activity

Displays total messages sent today, week-over-week comparisons, most active channels, and messaging trends.

Online Status

Real-time display of currently online members, idle members, do-not-disturb status, and presence distribution across your server.

Activity Trends

Visual graphs showing activity patterns by hour, day, and week. Identify peak activity times and plan events accordingly.

Module Status

Quick status indicator showing which modules are enabled/disabled and their health status. One-click access to enable modules you need.

Recent Actions

Feed of recent moderation actions, configuration changes, and system events. Helps you stay informed about what's happening on your server.

Server Settings Page

Access the Settings page through the sidebar to customize global SYNTHET configuration for your server. This is typically located at the bottom of the sidebar or under a dedicated Settings icon.

Timezone & Localization

Set your server's timezone for accurate logging of timed events, scheduled messages, and event scheduling. Choose your preferred language for bot messages.

Command Prefix

Customize the prefix for text-based commands (default is /). You can use any character or phrase, but keep it memorable and short.

Quick Actions

Buttons for common tasks like resetting all settings, importing configurations from another server, exporting your current setup, or transferring data.

Logging Preferences

Configure global logging behavior, retention policies, and privacy settings for all logged data across modules.

Notification Defaults

Set default notification preferences, notification channels, alert severity levels, and digest schedules.

API & Integration

Manage API keys, webhook settings, integration status with third-party services, and access logs.

Mobile Responsive Navigation

The dashboard is fully responsive and provides an optimized experience on mobile devices and tablets.

Hamburger Menu

On mobile screens (under 768px width), the sidebar collapses into a hamburger menu icon at the top-left. Tap to reveal the full navigation structure.

Touch-Friendly Interface

All buttons, inputs, and interactive elements are sized for easy touch interaction (minimum 44x44px). Spacing is optimized to prevent accidental taps.

Swipe Navigation

Swipe left on mobile to close the sidebar menu and maximize content area. Swipe right to reopen it for easier one-handed navigation.

Performance

Dashboard pages load quickly on mobile devices with optimized assets, lazy-loaded content, and minimal data usage.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Power users can take advantage of keyboard shortcuts to navigate faster and access common functions.

ShortcutAction
Ctrl/Cmd + KOpen command palette to search modules and pages
Ctrl/Cmd + SSave current configuration changes
Ctrl/Cmd + ZUndo last configuration change
Ctrl/Cmd + YRedo last undone change
Ctrl/Cmd + BToggle sidebar visibility

Module Toggle System

Control which SYNTHET modules are active on your server. Disabled modules won't function, but their data is preserved if you re-enable them later.

Enable/Disable from Sidebar

Hover over any module name in the sidebar to reveal a toggle switch. Click to enable or disable that module instantly. The change takes effect immediately.

Manage Modules Page

Visit the dedicated Manage Modules page (usually under Utilities category) for a comprehensive view of all modules. Toggle multiple modules at once, view detailed descriptions, and check dependencies.

Quick Overview

The Overview page displays the status of all your server's modules with visual indicators. Green indicates enabled, gray indicates disabled.

Dependencies Warning

Some modules depend on others (e.g., Shop requires Economy). Disabling a required module will prompt a warning explaining what else will be affected.

Breadcrumb Navigation

At the top of every dashboard page, breadcrumbs show your current location and allow quick navigation to parent sections.

Example breadcrumb: Dashboard > Engagement > Welcome > Messages

  • Click any breadcrumb segment to jump directly to that section
  • Helpful for quickly going back without using browser back button
  • Responsive on mobile—collapses to show only current page title and parent

Navigation Tips & Tricks

These quick tips will help you navigate the dashboard like a pro and find features faster.

Use Search Function

Press Ctrl+K to open the global search. Type to find any module, setting, or page instantly. Much faster than clicking through menus.

Bookmark Your Favorite Pages

Frequently accessed settings pages can be bookmarked in your browser for quick access. Each page has a unique URL for this purpose.

Check Collapsible Sections

Many dashboard pages have collapsible category headers in the sidebar. Click to collapse unused categories and reduce visual clutter.

Save Button Always Visible

A "Save Changes" button appears at the top and bottom of configuration pages. Your changes won't take effect until you save.

Hover for Context

Hover over settings icons and field labels to see helpful tooltips explaining what each option does. Great for learning without leaving the page.

Back Button

Don't use your browser's back button on configuration pages—it may discard unsaved changes. Use breadcrumbs or sidebar navigation instead.
