Sampling Dashboard

The Sampling Dashboard provides a centralized overview of all sampling activities across collections, suppliers, and categories. It enables teams to monitor sample progress, track shipment status, review recent activities, and analyze sample distribution in real time for faster decision-making and improved workflow visibility.

Quick-access statistic cards provide a high-level overview of overall sampling performance and operational status. Users can instantly monitor the total number of samples ordered, samples currently in progress, shipped samples, and cancelled requests. Each summary card includes direct navigation links that allow users to quickly access detailed records for faster tracking and management.

• Total Active — the total number of samples currently in progress
• Created — samples that have just been logged and haven't started production
• In Production — samples actively being made 
• Shipped — samples that have left the factory 
• Delivered — samples confirmed received
• Due Today — samples with a due date of today
• Due This Week — samples due within the current week

This gives a quick pulse check on where the bulk of your samples sit at any moment.

A rollup of all active samples, classified by schedule status:

• 🟢 On Track — samples progressing on schedule
• 🟡 At Risk — samples close to slipping
• 🔴 Delayed — samples that have missed their agreed date

Each status shows both a count and a percentage of the total, making it easy to spot when a large share of your pipeline needs attention.

The Create Sample button provides direct access to initiate new sample requests from the dashboard. This feature streamlines the sampling workflow and improves operational efficiency by reducing navigation steps.

A live feed of the samples driving that "Delayed" number, each shown as its own alert card with:

• Overdue duration 
• Supplier or style name 
• Agreed date vs. Actual date — so you can see exactly how far the sample has slipped
• A Delayed status tag
• Quick actions: View the sample record, Update date to revise the timeline, or mute future notifications via the bell icon

The alert count badge mirrors the Delayed count from the Health Summary, so you always know how many items need action.

A persistent filter toolbar lets you narrow the dashboard view by:

• Size Level (dropdown)
• Season
• Supplier
• Category
• Collection
• Created At (date range)

These filters let you slice all the metrics above — stage counts, health summary, alerts, activity feed, and category breakdown — down to a specific season, supplier, or collection.

This gives you a running log of what's moving through the pipeline most recently, without needing to open each sample individually.

This highlights where sampling effort is concentrated (e.g., heavy fabric sampling) and flags categories that may need better tagging (multiple "Uncategorized" entries suggest some samples aren't yet assigned a category).
