control panels
Explanation:
an alternative to "dashboard". It's probably analogous to the "dashboard" available to Proz members; the corresponding interface for users of ISPs in the UK is often called "control panel" - I have, for example, access to my "control panel" at my own ISP and one that I manage for somebody else. I use them, for example, to define email forwarding, renew a domain name, pay for services.

dashboard


Explanation:
When I worked in company management, we talked about "dashboards" as a monitoring tool. You might have a range of measurements made to monitor quality or business performance, such as number of customer complaints, total sales value per week/month, etc. For each indicator there would be a target and you might also set threshold values for alert and warning status. Values can be taken from a company computer system and fed automatically into an applicaiotjn like Excel where each value is plotted over time and the applicaiton automatically signals when thresholds or targets are achieved. Like the dashboard on a car, which gives you a "topl-level" view of what is going on under the bonnet.

BTW, seems to fit your list of items perfectly: complaints, invoices, no. of badges, etc.
