Dashboard & Tiles (Mobile)

The dashboard is the home screen of the app. It's a grid of tiles, one per feature. Tap a tile to open that feature; long-press to rearrange.

Default tiles

The default set depends on your persona (Pilot / Owner / Flight Club / Experimental / Mechanic / Administrator). For example, a Pilot persona sees:

  • Aircraft, Aircraft Logbook, Flight Log, Pilot Logbook
  • Reservations, Squawks, Weight & Balance
  • ADS-B Receiver, ADS-B Radar, FIS-B Weather, Track Recorder
  • Hours, Alerts, Profile, Sync

A Mechanic persona instead sees the squawk queue, work orders, time tracking, inventory, and inspections.

Customizing your tile set

If the defaults aren't what you want, you can re-arrange or hide tiles:

  1. Profile → Tile Settings (or tap a gear icon on the dashboard if available)
  2. The Tile Settings screen lets you:
  3. Drag tiles to reorder
  4. Toggle tiles on/off
  5. Reset to defaults (the persona default set)
  6. Save — the dashboard immediately reflects your changes

Your customization is stored on the server, so it follows you to other devices on the same account.

What changes when AZSuite ships a new tile

When a new feature ships (e.g., the recently-added Track Recorder), AZSuite auto-adds the tile to your existing customization — but only if your persona has access to it. So you don't have to re-customize after every release; new tiles slot in.

If you don't want the new tile, hide it via Tile Settings; your hide preference is remembered.

The "● REC" strip

When the Track Recorder is actively recording a flight, a thin red strip appears across the very top of every screen — including the dashboard. It shows live elapsed time, point count, and distance. Tap it to jump straight to the recorder screen.

This is the only persistent overlay; it disappears the moment recording stops.

Sync indicator

The bottom of the dashboard (or the Profile screen, depending on theme) shows:

  • Last sync time — when the app last reconciled with the server
  • Pending changes count — local edits waiting to upload
  • Connection status — green (online), yellow (cellular), red (offline)

A push-down on the dashboard pulls the latest data manually.
