Client Dashboard
Viewing All Clients
- Navigate to Advisor > Dashboard
- See all client organizations at a glance:
- Client name and tenant
- Health score — Overall financial health indicator
- Health status — Healthy, Attention, or Critical
- Key alerts — Issues requiring your awareness
- Last activity — When the client last had activity
- Overdue amount — Total overdue financial obligations
Sorting and Filtering
Customize your dashboard view:
| Sort By | Description |
|---|---|
| Health Score | Clients with lowest scores first (default) |
| Last Activity | Least recently active clients first |
| Name | Alphabetical order |
| Overdue Amount | Highest overdue amounts first |
Filter options:
- Health status — Show only healthy, attention, or critical clients
- Industry — Filter by business type or industry
Client Detail View
Click any client to see their full financial picture:
- Select a client from the dashboard
- View comprehensive summary:
- All dashboard metrics in detail
- Financial data and key ratios
- AI Narrative — An AI-generated plain-language summary of the client’s financial situation
- AI Insights — Specific observations and recommendations
- Use this view to prepare for client meetings
Attention Queue
The attention queue uses AI to rank clients by urgency, ensuring you focus on what matters most.
How It Works
Muin evaluates each client and assigns an urgency score based on:
| Category | Urgency Score | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Data quality issues | 90 | Error retrieving client data |
| Critical health | 80 | Client health status is “critical” |
| Attention needed | 50 | Client health status is “attention” |
Using the Queue
- Navigate to Advisor > Attention Queue
- Review clients ranked by urgency score (highest first):
- Client name and tenant
- Urgency score (0-100)
- Reason — Why this client needs attention
- Action needed — Recommended next step
- Category — Type of issue (financial, data quality, compliance)
- Click a client to navigate to their detail view
Clients with “healthy” status do not appear in the attention queue.
Deadline Tracking
Viewing Upcoming Deadlines
- Navigate to Advisor > Deadlines
- See filing deadlines across all client tenants:
- Client — Which organization
- Deadline type — Form 990, 990-PF, or other
- Due date — When the filing is due
- Days until due — Countdown
- Status — On track, at risk, or overdue
- Description — Details (e.g., “Form 990 for FY2025”)
Deadline Status Rules
| Status | Rule |
|---|---|
| On Track | 30+ days until due |
| At Risk | Less than 30 days until due |
| Overdue | Past due date |
Configurable Window
Set how far ahead to look for deadlines (default: 90 days). Deadlines are sorted by nearest due date first.

Tips
- Start with the attention queue — It tells you exactly who needs help and why, ranked by urgency
- Review the daily briefing every morning — It takes 2 minutes and ensures nothing slips through the cracks
- Use batch reports for recurring deliverables — Generate all client reports at once instead of one by one
- Track 990 deadlines early — The “at risk” window is 30 days, but starting 60-90 days out is best practice
- Configure AI insights — The client detail view AI narrative is most useful when clients have active financial data
- Set up the RSS feed — Listen to briefings during your commute or morning routine
Common Issues
| Issue | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard shows “No client tenants accessible” | Advisor has not been granted access to any tenants | Ask a tenant administrator to grant advisor access |
| Client detail shows “data retrieval error” | The advisor may lack read_financials permission for that tenant | Update advisor permissions to include read_financials |
| Deadlines list is empty | No Tax990Workspace records exist for client tenants | Ensure clients have created 990 workspaces in the Nonprofit module |
| Daily briefing is generic | Not enough client data to generate specific insights | Ensure clients have active financial data and at least one filing period |
| Batch report stuck in “generating” | Report generation is asynchronous and may take time | Check batch report status; large batches may take several minutes |
| ”Not an advisor” error | User does not have the advisor role | The user must be designated as an advisor in the system |
| Onboarding wizard fails at module selection | The target tenant may not support the selected modules | Verify module availability for the tenant’s subscription tier |
