Your dashboard at a glance

Last updated September 2, 2026

Sigmira lives in two places, and knowing which does what saves a lot of hunting around. WordPress holds the essentials (your licence and the connection) while the real work happens in the Sigmira Dashboard, a web app where you build products, manage templates, handle orders and set pricing. The two are linked, so you move between them without a second login. Here’s the lay of the land, so the rest of the guide always makes sense of where you are.

The WordPress side

In the WordPress admin, the Sigmira menu has three items:

  • Dashboard — opens the Sigmira Dashboard web app (below).
  • License — activate or check your licence (see Install & activate).
  • Settings — your store’s connection to Sigmira: Sigmira API URL, License Key and Log Level, plus a Manage in Sigmira Dashboard ↗ button. As the page notes, Editor, cart, storefront, export and theme settings live in your Sigmira Dashboard, so most of your work happens there, not here.

The Sigmira Dashboard

Click Dashboard (or Manage in Sigmira Dashboard ↗) and Sigmira signs you straight in to the web app: no second login. Its home page is Overview, with a short getting-started checklist.

The navigation is grouped into three areas:

Workshop — your products

  • Dashboard — the Overview home page.
  • Products — choose which products are customisable and set up each one’s design area. This is where you’ll spend most of your time.

Library — reusable building blocks

  • Templates — ready-made starting designs customers can pick from.
  • Formats — reusable canvas-size presets for templates.
  • Elements — clipart and graphics customers can add.
  • Fonts — the fonts available in the editor.

Operations — running the business

  • Print Methods — how finished designs are output (file format, resolution, print marks). See Print methods.
  • Orders — every order with a customised product, plus the print-ready files. See View customer designs.
  • Exports — all the print-ready files generated for fulfilment, in one list.
  • Pricing Rules — charge extra for customisation. See Set up pricing rules.
  • License — your plan, billing and connected stores.
  • Settings — editor labels and storefront/cart/delivery options.

A typical first session

  1. Open Products and add your first customisable product.
  2. Set up its views and print areas (where customers can design).
  3. Place a test order on your own store to see the customer’s experience.
  4. Open Orders and download the print-ready file to check it looks right.
