Home Dashboard
Overview
The Home screen is the landing page after login. It gives the Rate Payer an at-a-glance view of their total bill amount, outstanding amount, what they've paid, and quick access to the most common actions.
First-Time Walkthrough
New users are shown a 6-step guided tour of the dashboard the first time they land here, highlighting each area in sequence:
| Step | Highlights | Message |
|---|---|---|
| 1/6 | Profile & Verification | Update your profile and documents here. |
| 2/6 | Next Due Date (Total Bill card) | Tap for details or to pay now and avoid penalties. |
| 3/6 | Total Paid (This Year) | Your total payments this year. Tap to view payment history and receipts. |
| 4/6 | Total Due (This Year) | Your outstanding amount. Tap "Click to Pay" to select properties and pay securely. |
| 5/6 | News · Notices · Updates | Swipe horizontally to read updates. Tap any card for details or "See all". |
| 6/6 | Quick Actions | Shortcuts for Pay Now, Link Property, Scan & Pay, and more. |
Each step can be Skipped or advanced with Next; the final step shows Done instead.
!!! tip "Things to check"
- The walkthrough only appears on first login (or after it's reset), not on every login
- Skip at any step dismisses the whole tour, not just the current step
- Each highlighted element on the walkthrough matches what it's pointing at
- Step counter (e.g. 3/6) increments correctly and matches the actual number of steps

Summary Cards
Three cards summarize the rate payer's bill status:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Bill (dark blue) | Total billed amount and the upcoming due date, with a warning about penalties for late payment |
| Total Paid Amount (blue) | Sum paid so far this year, with a See History link |
| Total Due Amount (yellow) | Outstanding balance, with a Click to Pay link |
!!! info "Live values" All three cards should update immediately after a payment is made or a new bill is issued — confirm the numbers stay in sync (Total Bill ≈ Total Paid + Total Due).
News · Notices · Updates
A horizontally-swipeable set of cards for announcements (e.g. scheduled maintenance windows), each with a View Details link. A See all link in the section header opens the full list.
