The admin dashboard is the central hub for managing your GamePanelX V3 control panel. It provides quick access to all administrative functions and displays the system setup status.

Setup Status Indicators

The dashboard displays setup progress warnings to guide new installations through the initial configuration:
1

Network Configuration

Add at least one network server (local or remote) to host game servers.
The system will display: “Network: Add at least one network server to get started.”
2

User Accounts

Create user accounts who will manage game servers.
The system prompts: “Accounts: Create at least one user account.”
3

You’ll see: “Templates: Install at least one game template.”
4

Game Servers

Once network, users, and templates are configured, you can create game servers.
After completing previous steps: “Servers: You can now create game servers.”

​
Quick Actions

Click any dashboard icon to navigate directly to that management area. Each section provides specialized tools for managing that aspect of your GamePanelX installation.

​
System Updates

The dashboard automatically checks for system updates on load. If updates are available, you’ll receive a notification with instructions on how to proceed.
The dashboard uses AJAX to load management sections dynamically without full page refreshes, providing a smooth administrative experience.

​
Debug Mode

When debug mode is enabled in configuration.php (GPXDEBUG = true), the dashboard displays additional diagnostic information:
  • Current GPX version
  • Document root path
  • Most recent MySQL errors
Debug mode should only be enabled during development or troubleshooting, never in production environments.
