Total Control Admin Dashboard
What is Total Control?
The Total Control Admin Dashboard creates a default panel page with useful administration panes right out of the box. Several overview panes are included for site stats and quick reference. Several View panes are provided with 'more' links to full-page comprehensive versions of the views. Each View panel pane is customizable via pane settings, or override the default views provided to suit your own needs.
Who is it for?
If your site is high traffic, high volume, or high activity and needs to be monitored on a daily basis, then Total Control is for you. It's purpose is to create a central dashboard where one can go to see summaries of all parts of a site that need attention on a daily basis.
Why another admin dashboard module?
I evaluated all the other admin dashboards out there and realized that none of them seemed to do much more than take the pre-existing drupal admin area and display it differently. My goal here is to create something more helpful than what drupal comes with out of the box.

Upgrading from RC4 to 1.0
Because of the new dependency on views_bulk_operations, If you had made any customizations to your total control views in versions prior to 1.0, you will need to repeat those customizations on views in 1.0 in order to use the built-in views_bulk_operations.
Here's how to upgrade:
- disable total_control
- delete your old dashboard page
- go to your views page admin/build/views and filter by 'tag' = 'total_control'
- delete any remaining views
- replace the old version of the module with new version
- enable total_control
- customize your views again (if necessary)
