Dashboard
The Dashboard is the main entry point for monitoring Cart Reserve activity.
It provides a high-level overview of reservation behavior across your store and helps you quickly determine whether the system is operating as expected.
The dashboard summarizes key metrics and highlights areas that may require closer inspection.

What the Dashboard Is For
Use the dashboard to answer the following questions:
- Are reservations being created and converted?
