Dashboard Overview: Maps, Stats & Filters

What the Dashboard Shows

The Dashboard is designed to answer questions like:

• Where have I flown this year?

• How many hours have I logged recently?

• How close am I to a personal goal (e.g. 10,000 hours)?

• Which flights contributed to a specific statistic?

At the top of the screen, IPL displays a world map with the routes you have flown.

Below the map, you will find your key statistics, such as:

• Total Time

• Instrument Time

• Takeoffs and Landings

• Simulator time

• Duty-related totals

Everything is Based on a Selected Time Period

A core concept of IPL’s Dashboard is that it always works within a time period.

At any moment, you can choose whether you want to view:

• All Time

• A specific Year

• A specific Month

• A Custom Time Period (defined by you)

When you change the time period:

• The map updates

• The statistics update

• The associated entries update

This ensures that what you see is always consistent across the Dashboard.

The Map: A Visual Summary of Your Flights

The map displays all routes for the selected time period.

Each visited airport is shown as a clickable place marker.

When you tap a place, IPL opens a card showing:

• Airport name and code

• Takeoffs and landings counted for the selected period

An info (i) button allows you to open the corresponding flight list instantly.

This makes the map an interactive way to navigate through your flying history.

Statistics are Interactive

The statistics displayed below the map are not just numbers.

Each stat is fully clickable:

• Tapping a stat opens the logbook entries where this value is greater than zero

• This allows you to immediately understand which flights contributed to the total

For example:

• Tapping Actual Instruments shows all flights where actual instrument time was logged

• Tapping Landings shows all flights containing at least one landing

IPL always links totals back to real logbook activity.

Custom Stats and Personal Goals

In IPL, statistics can be configured and personalized.

You can create your own Dashboard stats by selecting values from:

• Flight entry fields

• Simulator entry fields

• General totals such as Total Duty

You can also define goals for each stat across any time period.

When a goal exists for the currently selected period, IPL displays:

• A progression circle

• The percentage achieved

• The goal value next to the total

Example:

9438 hours (goal 10,000 hours) → 94%

Dashboard Views Across the Entire App

The Dashboard is not limited to the main tab.

Throughout IPL, many modules include a summary bar (People, Places, Aircraft, Certificates…).

Tapping this bar opens a Dashboard-style view filtered to:

• That specific person, place, aircraft, or certificate

• The selected time period

This creates a consistent exploration workflow everywhere in the app.
