Step 05
Explore the Dashboard
After signing in, you'll land on your Dashboard — your home base in RocketVault. New accounts see a guided three-step onboarding flow (upload → review → connect eBay) until you have at least one card on file.
Understanding the Dashboard
The Dashboard surfaces the work that's queued up for you and the live state of your portfolio:
- Actions Queue — Cards that need attention, ready to publish, sell-now signals, hot deals, and price drops
- KPI Band — Portfolio value, unrealized P&L, active listings, and 30-day sales
- Value distribution — Sport exposure across your book
- Inventory pipeline — Ingested → Ready → Listed → Sold counts
- Refresh activity and Event log — Recent listing refreshes and dashboard alerts
For a deeper walkthrough, see the Dashboard Guide.
Navigating the App
The desktop sidebar is grouped to keep related work together:
| Section | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Portfolio overview, actions queue |
| Inventory → Upload Cards | Add new cards via single capture, multi-card scan, or ZIP file |
| Inventory → Cards | Unified inventory across Available, Drafts, Active listings, and History tabs |
| Inventory → Lots | Bundle cards into lots for sale |
| Catalog → Browse Sets | Walk the RocketVault card database (millions of cards) |
| Catalog → Search Cards | Search the catalog directly |
| My Collection → Owned Cards | Track cards you keep (not for sale) |
| My Collection → Wishlist | Cards you want to acquire, with eBay deep links |
| AI Tools → Deal Finder | Find live eBay listings priced below market |
| AI Tools → Grading | ROI-aware grading recommendations (Pro tier) |
| Settings | Configure integrations, pricing, listing defaults, and billing |
A status indicator at the bottom of the sidebar shows live eBay sync state. The Cards entry carries a small badge with the number of items ready to publish right now.
Mobile Friendly
On mobile, the sidebar collapses into a bottom navigation bar with Home, Cards, a center camera button (Add), Issues, and More. Tap More to see the full grouped sidebar in a bottom sheet. Multi-Card Scan is the fastest way to digitize cards on phone — see the Mobile Guide for details.
