It is both annoying and confusing when your dashboards don’t show the data you need or display too much information. Dashboards are created to help you get an overview of your data, and to help you make the right decisions based on the combination of data points. If you don’t feel you get enough value out of your dashboards, now is the right time to create the perfect dashboards for you and your team. First, take a look at your current dashboards; are they displaying the data you want to see? If not, try to filter on the data or change the dashboard component type, in order to visualize the data better. If this doesn’t do the trick, you need to look at the report, in which the dashboard is created from. In the report, drag and drop to get the wanted groupings on columns or rows, use filters and cross-filters, or create your own bucket columns and summary formulas. Does your report still not display the wanted data? Maybe you need to create your own custom report type, where you can mix data from different objects together, and from this custom report type create a new report. When you’re done working with your data in your report, you can now create cool and visual dashboards. Decide, whether the data is best visualized in a bar, a donut, a metric, a gauge or a funnel chart. Your new dashboards will help you and your team to get an overview of where your business is evolving, and look at red flags where you need to take immediate action.
