Analytics Dashboard (Pro)
The Analytics module gives you a snapshot of your job board’s activity – jobs, applications, users, views, and credit flow – from a single dashboard screen.
Pro feature - Requires the WP Career Board Pro plugin to be installed and active. Every Pro feature works as soon as the plugin is active; the license key only powers automatic updates, it never gates functionality.

- The credit ledger is append-only – no entries are ever edited or deleted, so the export is a reliable audit trail
