Lesson Notes
The dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in as an Agent. It is purpose-built around one primary action: getting a new order started. The animated hero title alternates between a personal greeting and the prompt 'Where's the property?' — that cycling headline is not decorative. It is a constant reminder that the address search bar in the center of the screen is your fastest path to placing a new order.
The address search bar acts as both a search field and a launcher. Type any part of a property address — street name, city, or postal code — and Vremly uses Mapbox autocomplete to surface matching suggestions as you type. Selecting a suggestion immediately carries you into the booking flow with that address pre-filled, so you skip the address entry step entirely. This is by design: most agents know the address before they open the app.
Two additional entry points sit below the search bar once you click into it. 'Use my location' asks your browser for your GPS coordinates, reverse-geocodes them via Mapbox, and pre-fills the address with your current location — useful if you are already at the property. 'Latest order' shows a shortcut to your most recently active job in case you need context before booking. Neither is required; they exist to save time.
On iOS, the dashboard equivalent is the tab bar. The center tab button — a '+' camera icon at the bottom of the screen — is the dedicated booking entry point for the Agent persona. Tapping it opens the BookingView sheet over a live Mapbox map. The app also requests a one-shot CoreLocation fix on launch so it can reverse-geocode your current position and pre-populate the address field before you type a single character. If location permission is off, the field starts empty and you type manually.
Understanding the dashboard's architecture matters because there is no 'New Order' button buried in a menu. The address search bar IS the new-order button. Once you select an address, the flow begins. If you ever want to book the same property again, use the 'Latest order' shortcut or navigate to 'All orders' and use the 'Book again' action on any past job.
Key Takeaways
- The dashboard address search bar is the primary entry point for every new order.
- Selecting a Mapbox autocomplete suggestion carries the full address into the booking flow automatically.
- 'Use my location' triggers GPS-based address autofill — useful when you are already at the property.
- On iOS, the center '+' button on the tab bar opens the booking sheet directly over a live map.
