Appearance
Command Center
The Command Center is where you launch specific accounting tasks. While Overwatch and Kraven focus on monitoring and processing exceptions, Command Center is where you do hands-on accounting work.
Getting There
Click Command Center in the left sidebar or the top navigation bar from any Overwatch page.
What You See
Client Context
At the top, you'll see which client you're working with, the number of accounts, and a link to open the connected accounting system directly.
Setup Status
Shows whether the client's integration is fully configured. A green In Progress or Ready status means the client is properly connected.
Readiness Checks
A checklist showing the health of your client's connection:
- Accounting system connected
- Authorization healthy
- Write-back enabled
- Entity coverage confirmed
All checks should show Ready. If any show issues, resolve them before doing accounting work.
Proof Package
The Month-End Proof Package summarizes the evidence that Kraal's parallel processing is working correctly:
- How many recent transactions have been mirrored successfully
- How many readiness checks are passing
- Whether any risks need attention
The Three Modes
Command Center has three tabs for different types of work:
New Work
When to use: You have a specific accounting task to complete.
Type a description of what you need done, and Kraal will draft a workflow for you. Examples:
- "Post the March rent accrual"
- "Review the bank reconciliation for checking account"
- "Generate the monthly financial package"
Review Work
When to use: You need to clear approvals or check on active workflows.
Shows items waiting for your review, with a count of pending items.
