# Common dashboard and reporting questions

## How do I give someone Dashboard access?

Dashboard access is controlled by roles and permissions. If you cannot assign the needed permission from Settings, contact Essential through the Talk to a human tab with the user's name, email, and the access they need.

## Where can I see paid and unpaid invoices?

Use Reports for revenue and invoice reporting, and use the Invoices page for invoice status, aging, and payment state. The A/R aging report is the best starting point for unpaid balances.

## Can the Dashboard show inspections due this month or next month?

Dashboard widgets depend on what your business has enabled. If you need a new dashboard widget, contact Essential through the Talk to a human tab and describe the exact due-work view your team wants.

## Can I export customers or properties?

Some list pages include export actions from the menu near the Add or New button. If your export needs are broader, contact Essential through the Talk to a human tab with the list and fields you need.

## Can I see inactive customers on the scheduling map?

The scheduling map is focused on technicians, jobs, and backlog work. For inactive-customer planning, use customer and property lists together with reports.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/reporting-and-integrations/reporting/common-dashboard-and-reporting-questions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
