# Tracking today's collections

> The daily routine: find who is short, decide who to contact, and confirm the day is closed.

## The daily routine

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the dashboard on today's date">
    Check **Collected**, **Target**, and **Remaining gap** first. These three tell you where the day stands.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check unreconciled payments">
    If the count is above zero, clear it before you chase anyone. Money may already have arrived from a driver you are about to call. See [Reconciliation](/collections/reconciliation).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter to Needs attention">
    This narrows the driver table to unpaid and under target drivers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sort by Gap">
    The largest shortfalls come to the top. Work down the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contact the drivers who are short">
    Send a reminder from the driver profile, or record a note about what the driver told you. See [Reminders](/collections/reminders).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check yesterday before you finish">
    Select **Yesterday**. Late payments and late reconciliation both change yesterday's figure after the fact.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reading a driver row

Each row shows the driver, their vehicle and plate number, repayment progress, and three figures for the selected day: collected, target, and gap.

| What you see     | What it means                | What to do                                            |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Unpaid, full gap | Nothing received for the day | Contact the driver, then send a reminder              |
| Under target     | Part of the amount received  | Ask for the balance the same day, before it compounds |
| Paid             | The day's amount is met      | Nothing                                               |

<Tip>
  A driver who is repeatedly under target by a small amount is a different problem from one who misses whole days. The first is usually an earnings problem, the second is usually an availability or vehicle problem. The driver profile shows which pattern you are dealing with.
</Tip>

## When the numbers look wrong

Check these in order:

1. Unreconciled payments above zero, meaning collected is understated.
2. The date selected on the dashboard.
3. Drivers marked **Pending setup**, who have no daily amount and so distort the target.
4. The daily amount on the vehicle model assigned to the driver. See [Vehicle models](/setup/vehicle-models).
