New Squidoo Lens Dashboard Sneak Peek - Screenshots

Squidoo HQ is releasing their new dashboard (possibly as early as tomm morning!) and I’ve got some sneak peek pics for you guys to ogle over!

This thing is going to be awesome for lens management, with filters, labels, and lots of other goodies.

Without further adieu, here are some screenshots!

This is what a list of labeled lenses looks like:

Here’s what the Daily Digest front page looks like:

Here’s one from Megan at HQ on the page where you add labels (love the checkboxes!)

My thoughts -

The New labels function is going to go miles for me in turning lenses into manageable groups. Maybe a traffic, revenue, and lens count on each label and filter page as well as the current daily digest? That would really let you see how segments of your lenses are performing which would be huge.

A pending revenue total on the daily digest would be sweet.

The ‘Top lens of the day’ section on the Daily Digest could have Today’s traffic as well so you could see how well it was doing today.

the ‘Needs some love’ section could probably go without the lenses I have in WIP, but some lensmasters may want it to include WIP lenses …

The sorting function by traffic is a little buggy. (Disclaimer: HQ is still ironing out tons of UI stuff so that’s probably where this is coming from)

Being able to set labels or filters based on things like # of stars or LR or traffic would be sweet. For example, say I want to track the #  of lenses I have between LR 20,000 and 50,000 on one list…

Overall, I think it is going to be a bajillion times better than the previous incarnation. I can’t wait to see what they do to the workshop!

What do you guys think?

I think that the best improvement is the labeling system. This will really help me to group my lenses. While I don’t quite have as many as you, I am starting to have problems keeping them straight.

It’s bee-yootiful. I think I like almost everything about it, and can’t wait until it’s implemented.
