The Dashboard is the first page you land on after signing in, and it is deliberately a summary rather than a control panel. Nothing here is where work gets done — every panel is a window into a fuller page elsewhere. This guide explains what each number means and where it comes from.
How to read this page
Think of the dashboard as answering four questions at a glance: is my club healthy, is anything waiting for me, what is happening in the community, and has anyone messaged me? Everything on the page falls into one of those four.
Your club summary
The headline row shows four figures about your club. These are the same numbers you will see on the Club page, surfaced here so you do not have to go looking.
The four club figures
- Squad ValueOptionalThe combined value of every player you own, shown in LONIDA. It moves when you buy, sell or develop players.
- Squad SizeOptionalHow many players are currently in your squad. Worth watching before a transfer window or a fixture.
- Active CompetitionsOptionalHow many leagues, cups or tournaments your club is currently entered in.
- Pending RequestsOptionalTransfer and loan requests from other clubs that are waiting on your answer. If this is not zero, somebody is waiting for you.
Pending Requests is the one to act on
Squad value and squad size are information. Pending Requests is a to-do list. Another manager has made you an offer and cannot proceed until you accept or reject it, so a number sitting here for days is a deal quietly going cold.
My Community Activity
A four-part breakdown of what you have contributed to the community: Posts, Comments, Likes on Posts and Likes on Comments. These count activity you have generated, not activity you have received.
These numbers matter more than they first appear, because two of them feed directly into whether you are allowed to create posts at all. Commenting and liking are how you earn posting rights — see the community guide for the exact thresholds.
Where the detail lives
The dashboard shows totals only. For the actual posts, comments, likes and followers behind those numbers, open History, which breaks all four down into browsable lists.
Lonida News
An automatically written feed of what is happening across the platform. When a transfer completes, a bid is placed, a loan is agreed or a friendly is approved, Lonida turns that event into a short news story.
Stories are tagged by type — Transfer, Bid, Loan or News — so you can tell at a glance whether something is a completed deal or an opening offer. It is the fastest way to see which clubs are active without visiting the market.
Fixtures, standings and competitions
The dashboard also surfaces your upcoming fixtures, the standings for leagues you are in, your active competitions and the current top scorers. All of these are summaries of the Games page, pulled forward so you can see whether you have a match coming before you go looking for one.
Times follow your timezone
Every kick-off time here is rendered in the timezone set on your profile. If you have not set yours, or set it wrongly, these times will be wrong for you specifically while being correct for everyone else. It is the most common cause of a missed fixture.
Messages
Your direct conversations with other managers appear on the dashboard so an unanswered message does not sit unnoticed. You can read and reply without leaving the page, and messages can be liked in the same way posts and comments can.
Who can message you
Whether other managers can start a conversation with you is controlled by the Allow Direct Messages setting in your account Settings tab. If you turn it off, existing conversations remain but new ones cannot be started.
The community feed
Below the summary panels is the community feed itself — posts from other managers, which you can like, comment on and open in full. Creating a post is gated by participation rules, but reading, liking and commenting are open to everyone from day one.
A sensible daily routine
- Check Pending Requests first — that is the only panel where somebody is waiting on you.
- Glance at fixtures to confirm nothing is about to kick off.
- Answer anything sitting in Messages.
- Scroll the feed, comment on what interests you, and like what deserves it. It counts towards your posting rights.
- Read the news if you want to know which clubs are trading.
