is there a dashboard?

Throughout the support section the phrase "zen cart admin" occurs in one context or another. Does phrase imply that there is a "dashboard" somewhere? A dashboard analogous to that in WordPress that enables direct manipulation of page content without having to change code within files. If it does imply a dashboard's existence, where is it? If not, what exactly does the phrase mean?

Re: is there a dashboard?

Have you actually installed Zen Cart somewhere to look at its features and play with it? The installation documents describe how to get to your admin, which does indeed allow you to control many things on your site. This is where you enter all of your product information, handle sales records, and change some of the content of your site using the "Define Page Editor" and the "EZ-Pages" Editor. Look through the tutorials for those and similar topics to get more extensive information.

Oops! My mistake. I hadn't gotten beyond the change admin password instruction in the installation process.
