User Administration Manual

Welcome to the Elegance Interiors admin dashboard! This system was designed to be incredibly easy to use, even if you don't have technical experience. Below is your complete guide to managing everything on the platform.

1. Products Management

The Products page allows you to control the entire catalog shown on the public storefront.

  • Adding a Product: Click the "Add Product" button. Fill in the name, description, and price.
  • Uploading Images: Under the Media section, you can either paste a link to an image OR click the Cloud Upload icon to pick a file from your phone/computer. A small live preview thumbnail will appear immediately so you know it worked!
  • Variations (Colors & Specs): Click "+ Add Color" to add a new color option. A color picker box will appear allowing you to select the exact visual shade. You can also add custom specifications like "Dimensions: 200x200cm".
  • Viewing & Editing: Simply click on any product row in the table to open a detailed read-only view. Inside that view, you can click "Edit Details" to change anything, or you can click the pencil icon directly on the table row.

2. CRM & Sales Pipeline

The CRM page tracks potential sales from the moment a client reaches out until the deal is closed.

  • Adding a Lead: Click "New Lead". Enter their inquiry details and estimate their potential value in KSh.
  • Pipeline Stages: You can move a lead through the pipeline by changing their status. The stages are: New Lead → Consultation Booked → Quote Sent → Closed Won.
  • Viewing a Lead: Tapping anywhere on a lead's card will open a beautiful pop-up showing their full inquiry notes, campaign source, and potential value.
  • Dashboard Stats: The top of the CRM page automatically calculates how many leads are in each stage and totals their monetary value for you!

3. Customers Directory

The Customers page is your address book for people who have interacted with or purchased from Elegance Interiors.

  • Customer Profiles: Click a customer to view their full profile, which displays their Total Spend and Total Orders.
  • VIP Status: You can mark your best customers as "VIP" by editing their profile and changing their status. They will receive a special highlighted badge in the system.
  • Mobile View: If you use the dashboard on your phone, the table automatically transforms into beautiful, stacked, swipeable cards to prevent annoying horizontal scrolling!

4. Media Library

Every image you upload from your device is saved here in the cloud.

  • Click any image to view it in full screen.
  • If you delete a product, its images stay here safely. If you want to permanently clear out old images, you can delete them from the Media page.

5. The Recycle Bin

We built a safety net into the system!

  • Whenever you delete a Product, Customer, or Lead, it is NOT permanently destroyed.
  • It is moved to the Recycle Bin. You can visit the Recycle Bin page to review deleted items and click "Restore" to instantly bring them back exactly as they were!

💡 General Tips

  • Confirmation Popups: Every time you successfully save, update, or delete something, a sleek notification pop-up will appear in the center of your screen to confirm the action succeeded.
  • Mobile Friendly: This entire dashboard was built "Mobile-First". You can comfortably manage the entire business from your smartphone while on the go!
