The Today page
/today is what you should land on every morning. It's organised top-to-bottom by what you can act on, not by what happened most recently.
The sections
- Stat row — at-a-glance metrics in two visual tiers. The lead row is two big cards: Open issues and Critical, with the Critical card switching to danger styling whenever its count is above zero so the most urgent number can't blend in. Below it, a context row of four smaller cards: Properties, Rent, Vacant, Unread.
- Yesterday's wins — a short celebratory section showing two rolling-24h counts: issues closed and tenant emails routed. Auto-hides when both are zero, so it doesn't render a "nothing happened" placeholder.
- Needs you — a triaged, opinionated list of things that need a human decision today, grouped into two bands. The priority band is overdue issues, compliance certs in the danger zone, and statements with unresolved unmatched rows. The secondary band is review-queue items and tenancy follow-ups. Items within each band are ordered by severity, not by recency — a 30-day-old overdue boiler still beats a fresh tenancy reminder.
- Background (collapsible) — the long tail: in-progress issues younger than the overdue threshold, vacant properties, the latest statement summary. Each row is independently collapsible and remembers its own open/closed state, so you can keep the parts you care about expanded and hide the rest.
How "Needs you" picks items
The priority band pulls from three sources: open issues with age ≥ 7 days (surfaced as "overdue"), compliance certs in the expiry danger zone, and statements with unresolved unmatched rows. The secondary band pulls from the document review queue and the tenancy follow-ups list. Mail rows appear separately, between the two bands. The scoring favours severity over freshness — a 30-day-old overdue boiler still beats a fresh "FYI" tenant email. If something on Needs you doesn't actually need you, click to open it and act; closing or acknowledging removes it.
What it isn't
Today is not the activity feed. The full chronological log lives at Activity. Today is opinionated — it filters and prioritises. Activity is exhaustive.
