Topic: Can't Access Dashboard Configuration or Reminders on Clean Install

I have a clean install of FrontAccounting V2.4.19 on Linux Mint V22.2 with PHP V8.3 and using the default theme.
The installation completes correctly and I can login to the test company with demo data.

I can see the preconfigured dashboards with test data for each module but cannot cannot get the dashboard maintenance and reminders options to appear under the setup / miscellaneous menu section.

I have checked for access rights as system administrator and have every option selected but there is no reference to dashboards or reminders in the list.  There is no option to install Dashboards under the Install/Activate Extensions menu (i read elsewhere that it is already part of V2.4).

I have the same issue on my live company installation (in a similar environment) - everything else is working and the standard general ledger dashboard is visible with correct data.

No errors appear when debug mode is enabled.

Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Please check that the gd extension is enabled in the PHP.

Re: Can't Access Dashboard Configuration or Reminders on Clean Install

Hi Joe
Thanks for your suggestion.  I already have the PHP GD module installed and the dashboards are displaying correct data.  I just cannot see how to modify the dashboards.

I have also just seen information that suggests the reminder function (referred to in old documentation) is no longer present and dimensions can be used instead.

I need to find documentation to support this or find time to experiment!
