Understanding the VyaparDiary Dashboard & Balance Cards
When you access VyaparDiary inside [DataBridge CRM](https://databridgecrm.com/), you are greeted by an intuitive, high-visibility dashboard designed for speed and clarity.
The 4 Real-Time Balance Cards
At the very top of the screen, four summary cards provide a bird’s-eye view of your entire business credit health:
1. Total Udhaar (GET): The total money/goods you have given on credit across all customers. This represents the total gross money you are owed.
2. Total Jama (GIVE): The total repayments you have received from customers to date.
3. Net Ledger Balance (Net Khata Balance): The exact net amount remaining to be collected.
$$\text{Net Balance} = \text{Total Udhaar} - \text{Total Jama}$$
A positive balance indicates customer dues that need to be recovered, while ₹0.00 indicates a fully settled account.
4. Customer Accounts: The total number of customer ledgers registered in your system.
Top Action Controls
Above the summary cards, you have quick-action triggers:
Bulk Reminder Button: Features an active counter badge (e.g., `Bulk Reminder (7)`) indicating exactly how many customers currently owe money.
Settings Gear: One-time configuration for UPI ID, business identity, and payment notes.
Daily Summary Toggle: Turn this toggle ON to receive an automated account status update on WhatsApp every night at 8:00 PM sharp.
Export Button: Instantly export your entire customer ledger data for printing, auditing, or local backup.
