Helpful Hints

  • Everything displayed on your dashboard is based on permissions
  • With Report Builder, you can build custom reports and turn them into widgets on your dashboard.  Custom reports automatically become available as a widget once they are created. 
  • With custom report widgets, you will need to choose between grid or chart format. 
  • Order your widgets so that the most useful information is easily visible and resides near the top of your screen. 
  • One way to determine the best layout is to add every widget available to the dashboard, monitor your use, and then remove widgets you find unnecessary.
