- The dashboard displays data from the payroll you opened it from, and the current pay period. However, you can change this by selecting different **payrolls** or **start / end** pay dates.
- Hover over ![](https://cdn.document360.io/fc2cda72-4645-4b36-96bf-60439ec11f11/Images/Documentation/image(576).png) to view which period(s) the start/end dates relate to.
- You can also filter the list by:
  - **Paypoint**: Your organisation may use paypoints to group and filters employees, for example by location or department.
  - **Employee** (name)

### Understanding the dashboard
