Dashboards

Visually track, analyse and display key performance indicators (KPI) and metrics for you, your teams and your business at a glance.

Dashboards are configured specifically to your organisation’s requirements. Typically, they chart performance metrics, i.e. activity rates, coverage, frequency, future booked events, etc, but can be expanded to include sales data and other items as required.

Dashboards may launch automatically as soon as you login to Actis

OR

From the menu select Analysis, Dashboards

The dashboard is a series of charts and gauges which may display on one screen or have been divided into sections, perhaps by product or by sales team.

Under the Actions tab:

Navigate between the Dashboard pages using the links on the left. The open dashboard is shown in red.

Change the data displayed on the selected chart(s) using the Edit actions

  • Criteria: amend the filters for the selected charts. The filter criteria fields will be different for each chart or set of charts selected
  • Select All: select all the charts on the displayed page
  • Deselect All: deselect all the charts on the displayed page
  • Reset KPIs: restore the selected charts to their default settings

Change the view of the selected chart(s) using the Display actions

  • Show Legends: Display the legends on the selected charts
  • Hide Legends: Remove the legends from the selected charts
  • Show X Axis Labels: Display the X axis labels on the selected charts
  • Hide X Axis Labels: Remove the X axis labels from the selected charts
  • Show Empty Series: Show all the series that could be displayed on the selected charts, including those with no data
  • Hide Empty Series: Show only the series with data on the selected charts

The dashboards have been designed to have a consistent look and feel, and items are represented in the same colour throughout, e.g. average lines might be represented in blue, and that will be the case on every chart and every gauge.

  • To zoom in or zoom out of the chart, click on a blank area of the graph and scroll the mouse wheel.
  • To move around the zoomed in chart, click and drag on a blank area of the graph.
  • Hover over each data element to see the actual value

Each dashboard display can be changed in the same way using the icons above the chart
