# Get started with Meneja: sign in and explore

> Sign in to your Meneja dashboard, navigate the interface by role, and take your first actions managing vendors, products, and orders.

Getting into Meneja takes less than a minute. You sign in with the email address and password your administrator has set up for you, and the dashboard loads a view tailored to your role. This guide walks you through signing in, orienting yourself in the interface, and taking the first actions most admins complete on day one.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the sign-in page">
    Navigate to your Meneja instance in your browser. If you are already signed in, you will be redirected to the dashboard automatically. Otherwise, you will see the **Welcome back** sign-in form.

    <Tip>
      You can toggle between light and dark themes before signing in using the theme switcher in the top-right corner of the sign-in page.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your credentials">
    Type your **Email Address** and **Password** into the sign-in form. Use the eye icon on the password field to reveal your password if you need to check what you have typed.

    If you have forgotten your password, click **Forgot password?** next to the password label. You will be taken to the password reset page where you can request a reset link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Sign In">
    Click the **Sign In** button. While your credentials are being verified, the button shows a spinner and the label changes to **Signing in...**. Once authentication succeeds, Meneja redirects you to `/dashboard`.

    <Warning>
      If you see an "Invalid credentials" error, double-check your email address and password. Contact your super admin if you are unable to sign in after several attempts.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Understand the dashboard layout">
    After signing in, you land on the main dashboard. The interface has three main areas:

    * **Sidebar (left)** — The collapsible sidebar contains the main navigation. The items you see depend on your role and the permissions assigned to you. At the top of the sidebar is the tenant switcher, which super admins use to switch between tenants.
    * **Header (top)** — The site header shows context for the current page. It also includes a notification bell that opens the notifications panel.
    * **Main content area** — The central area displays the page you are viewing, starting with the dashboard overview.

    <Note>
      If you are a **super** admin and no tenant is selected, tenant-specific sections — such as Vendors, Products, and Orders — will not appear in the sidebar. Select a tenant from the tenant switcher to access those sections.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the dashboard overview">
    The dashboard homepage gives you a live snapshot of your marketplace. Depending on your role, you will see:

    * **Super admin** — A platform-wide view. Select a tenant from the switcher to see that tenant's operational metrics.
    * **Admin** — Your tenant's total revenue, active users, order count, average order value, GMV performance chart, order status breakdown, top products, and payment success rate.
    * **Sub admin** — A summary view based on your assigned permissions.
    * **Support** — A focused view for handling customer issues.

    Click **Refresh Data** to update the metrics to the latest values.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to your first section">
    Use the sidebar to explore the areas relevant to your role. Common first stops are:

    * **Tenants** — If you are a super admin, review existing tenants or create a new one.
    * **Vendors** — Review vendors pending verification or browse the vendor list.
    * **Products & Services** — Check for products awaiting approval.
    * **Orders** — Review the current order queue and any pending deliveries or refunds.

    Each section loads a sortable, filterable table. Use the search field and column filters at the top of each table to narrow down results.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your profile">
    Click your name or avatar in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar to access your profile. From there you can update your profile details and reset your password at any time via **Settings > Profile > Reset Password**.
  </Step>
</Steps>
