Understanding your dashboard
The 1smart.link dashboard is your central workspace for managing links, bio pages, QR codes, Amazon Ads, and more. Once you log in, everything is organised into a clean sidebar layout with clearly labelled sections so you can find any tool in a couple of clicks.
Why it matters
The dashboard is where you spend most of your time on 1smart.link. Understanding its layout means you can move quickly between creating a bio page, checking click analytics, setting up retargeting pixels, or managing your Amazon PPC campaigns — without hunting through menus. A few minutes learning the structure saves you time on every visit.
How it works
When you log in at /dashboard/, you see a top bar and a left-hand sidebar. The sidebar groups every tool into three clearly separated sections, each marked with a small, uppercase, grey label.
Top bar
The top bar runs across the top of every page. It contains:
- The 1smart.link logo (a gradient checkmark) on the left.
- Your workspace name next to the logo.
- An avatar icon on the right — click it to open a dropdown with your account menu and a Log out option.
Sidebar — Smart Marketing
The Smart Marketing section is visible to every logged-in user, regardless of plan or role. It contains the tools for link management, bio pages, and tracking:
| Nav item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your hub — shows an analytics overview of clicks, links, and recent activity. |
| Bio Pages | Create and manage bio pages (BioLink) that hold multiple links under one URL. |
| Links | Create, edit, and organise smart short links. |
| QR Codes | Generate and customise QR codes linked to your URLs. |
| Pixels | Set up retargeting pixels (Facebook, Google, etc.) to attach to your links. |
| Media | Upload and manage images or other media assets used across your pages. |
| Domains | Connect and configure custom domains for branded short links. |
| Templates | Access pre-built templates for bio pages and other assets. |
Sidebar — Smart Ads
The Smart Ads section appears only if your account has PPC access enabled or your role is set to manager or admin. If you do not see this section, it means your account does not have Amazon Ads access — contact support or upgrade your plan to enable it.
This section contains one item:
- Amazon Ads — Opens the Amazon Ads Optimiser (PPC v2), where you manage campaigns, analyse performance, and get AI-powered bid and keyword recommendations.
Sidebar — Account
The Account section sits at the bottom of the sidebar:
- Account — Always visible. Manage your profile, billing, plan, and preferences.
- Admin — Visible only to users with a manager or admin role. Provides workspace-level settings, user management, and access controls.
Collapsing the sidebar
On narrow viewports (such as tablets or small browser windows), the sidebar collapses automatically to give you more screen space. You can also collapse or expand it manually using the toggle button at the edge of the sidebar. When collapsed, the sidebar shows icons only — hover or click to see the full label.
Who this is for
This overview is for anyone who has just signed up or is exploring 1smart.link for the first time. Whether you are a marketer building bio pages, a creator sharing links, or an Amazon seller running PPC campaigns, the dashboard is your single starting point.
If you are ready to start building, head to the relevant guide for your first task — creating a bio page, shortening a link, or connecting a custom domain. Each tool is just a click away in the sidebar.
