The Dashboard

A tour of the exceed dashboard, how server settings are organized, how saving works, and what each sidebar group covers.

What the dashboard is

The dashboard is the web home for your server. Almost every feature exceed offers can be configured here without typing a single command. Toggle things on, fill in fields, pick channels and roles from dropdowns, and save. Changes apply to the bot right away.

To open it, sign in with Discord and choose your server from the Servers list. You'll land on the server's Overview, with the full settings sidebar down the left.

Note: You can only manage servers where you have the Administrator permission and exceed is already added. If a server you expect is missing, double-check both.

How a settings page works

Every feature lives on its own page. The pattern is the same across the dashboard:

  1. Open the page from the sidebar (for example Leveling or Tickets).
  2. Flip the feature's toggle on. Most features start off, so this is your first stop.
  3. Fill in the settings: announcement channels, roles, messages, thresholds, and so on.
  4. Save. A save bar appears when you have unsaved changes; the bot picks them up immediately.

If you ever change your mind, just turn the toggle back off. Disabling a feature stops it from running but keeps your settings, so you can re-enable later without redoing the work.

Finding settings fast

The sidebar has a search box at the top. Type what you're after (for example "xp", "ticket", "raid", "welcome") and it filters the whole nav down to matching pages. It searches labels and keywords, so even loose terms land you on the right page.

The sidebar groups

The dashboard sidebar is organized into groups that mirror these docs:

  • General covers the core of your server: prefix and language, the Setup Assistant, bot branding, analytics, the audit log, AI usage budget, and the AI Persona chat companion.
  • Engagement covers everything that keeps members active: leveling and rank cards, quests, starboard, reaction roles and self-roles, booster roles, VoiceMaster, music and the live queue, text-to-speech, voice stats and voice-time roles, autoresponders, giveaways, invites, birthdays, suggestions, and events.
  • Moderation is your moderation toolkit: moderation actions and cases, automod, image automod, the threat feed, mod accountability, logging, scheduled nukes, sticky and temp roles, tickets (setup, live view, and AI assist), backups, and recovery.
  • Notifications covers social and content feeds: YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Reddit, and more posting to your channels.
  • Utility covers quality-of-life tools: timers, the scheduler, counters, the bump reminder, custom commands, automations, the embed builder, and shop/ads.
  • Security covers hard server protection: Antinuke, Antiraid, and Raid Panic.
  • Trust covers gates and reputation: verification, the gateway, reputation, member backups, and the join gate.

The General page

The General page holds the settings that affect the whole bot in your server, most importantly the command prefix (the character members type before a command, 1 to 5 characters, , by default). It's also where you'll find the Danger Zone for resetting or deleting your server's data.

Beyond settings

A few dashboard pages are live tools rather than plain settings:

  • Setup Assistant: describe your server and let AI build roles and channels for you. See the Quick Start.
  • Analytics and Server Stats: message, voice, and member activity over time.
  • Audit Log: a timeline of changes made to your configuration.
  • Queue & Player: a live music remote that shows what's playing, lets you reorder the queue, and controls playback from the web.

Keeping up with changes

The top nav and the docs sidebar both link an Updates page, a running changelog where the team posts new features and fixes. Check it now and then to see what's new across exceed.
