Dashboard Views in People, Places & Other Modules

A Consistent Exploration Workflow Across IPL

The main Dashboard is the central hub for maps and statistics.

But IPL also allows you to explore activity from inside many other modules, such as:

• People

• Places

• Aircraft Types

• Aircraft

• Simulators

• Certificates

Each of these modules provides a dedicated activity view, based on the same time period system used in the Dashboard.

The Summary Bar in Detail Views

In most modules, you can open an item’s detail view by selecting it from the module list — for example, tapping a person’s name in the People database or choosing an aircraft from the Aircraft list.

In these detail screens, IPL displays a dark summary bar showing:

• Total time logged

• Number of associated flights or simulator sessions

This bar provides an immediate overview of activity for that object.

Opening the Module Dashboard View

Tapping the summary bar opens a Dashboard-style screen filtered to:

• The selected module item (person, place, aircraft…)

• The currently active time period

This allows you to instantly explore:

• Routes flown involving that object

• Entry history restricted to the selected period

• Activity trends over time

Map + Entries Instead of Custom Stats

Unlike the main Dashboard tab, module dashboards do not display the customizable stat list.

Instead, these views focus on:

• The map with routes for that object

• A total activity summary

• The list of matching logbook entries directly below

This design provides faster access to the underlying flights or sessions, without requiring statistic configuration.

For example:

• Opening an Aircraft dashboard shows all flights logged on that aircraft

• Opening a Place dashboard shows every entry involving that airport

• Opening a Certificate dashboard shows renewal and history events

Time Period Filtering Works the Same Way

Module dashboards use the exact same time period selector as the main Dashboard.

You can switch between:

• All Time

• Year

• Month

• Custom Time Periods

When you change the period:

• The routes update

• The totals update

• The entry list refreshes

This ensures consistent filtering across the entire IPL ecosystem.

Why This Matters

This module Dashboard system allows IPL to behave like a connected ecosystem rather than separate databases.

Instead of just storing information, IPL helps you answer questions like:

• Which flights did I do with this instructor last year?

• How often have I operated into this airport recently?

• What is the activity history of this aircraft type?

• Which sessions contributed to this qualification?

Everything remains traceable through real logbook entries.
