# How do I get around the shelter dashboard?

## See what each menu item is for, and why some may not appear for your role.

Everything in the shelter dashboard is reached from the left navigation. Your shelter's logo is at the top left and **Sign out** is at the top right.

| Menu item | What it's for |
| --- | --- |
| Dashboard | Adoption and survey stats at a glance |
| Adoptions | The Adoptions List, your starting point for post-adoption support |
| Check-Ins | Survey check-ins your adopters have submitted |
| Org Profile | Your business and contact info, sites, logo, and web and social links |
| User Management | Invite and manage your shelter's staff (Super Admin only) |
| Integrations | Your connection to ShelterLuv, PetPoint or ShelterBuddy |
| Packet | Adoption packet documents and links |
| Providers | Local partners and national brands you recommend |
| Need help? | Petszel support resources |

**To open a pet or adopter:** click **Adoptions**, then click a pet's name to open its profile, or an adopter's name to open their profile. Click **Back** at the top left of any profile to return to the list.

**Why you might not see every menu item**

What you see depends on the role your Super Admin gave you. For example, Medical and Behavior Staff see Adoptions and the profiles but not Integrations, and only a Super Admin sees User Management. Roles also set your default filters, such as a medical topic for Medical Staff, but you can still change the filters to see every record.

If something you need is missing, ask your shelter's Super Admin to check your role.
