Dashboard
Modern businesses are driven by data. Proper data lays the foundation for effective monitoring and improvement of service delivery. A Dashboard provides a glance-view of key KPIs and relevant data. It can also contain important links (as shortcuts). The data shown on a Dashboard can be filtered to reflect a particular business process.
Motadata gives a robust Dashboard that is customizable and can show data in n number of ways. Some of the advantages of using the Motadata Dashboard are as follows:
- A Dashboard is an empty canvas where a user can add custom data blocks to present the most valuable and useful set of information.
- It allows a user to see at a glance an overall situation report of the desired information.
- It enables a user to drill down into the details by simply selecting the desired variable and object.
- An easy graphical interface allows a user to play with data and do easy cross-sectional analysis.
- It can be a one page snapshot of key matrices of a business. A user of the Motadata Dashboard can quickly judge how well the Helpdesk is functioning.
Components of a Dashboard
A user can create multiple Dashboards and each can show different data blocks. It can be shared with multiple users; even individual data blocks can be shared with multiple users.
There are two main components of a Dashboard:
Filters: A Dashboard has time-based filter.
Dashlet: A Dashlet is a single data block in a Dashboard. Currently, we support three kinds of Dashlets:
- KPI: A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a measurable value which helps in deducing the efficiency of a system. For example: the number of resolved Request tickets over the last 30 days is one of the many indicators of efficiency of the Helpdesk.
- Widgets: A Widget is a graphical representation of the data filtered by time and other parameters.
- Shortcuts: It is a list of Frequent Access Items like My Open Requests, My Pending Approval, My Open Tasks, etc.
