Refreshing the Dashboard

In the upper left corner of the dashboard, the icon refreshes the dashboard. The newly displayed dashboard will reflect any changes since the last time the dashboard was refreshed.

Changing the Dashboard Filters

The icon allows you to change the filters on the dashboard.

For this dashboard, you can edit the following filters:

For each filter, you can change the Condition and Value of the filter. The specific options you can choose from depend on a variety of factors including the type of data (date, currency, text, etc.), branch security access and other factors.

NOTE: Changes made to the filtering criteria do NOT persist. In other words, when you leave the dashboard and return to it, all default filters are re-applied.

Condition

You can use the following Conditions:

Value

IMPORTANT: For performance purposes the following two items should be noted when using the Values droplist. First, in order to enhance performance, once a value is selected, the droplist only displays those items alphabetically/numerically AFTER the selected item. To see all items again, delete the value (select it and press Delete on your keyboard) and then use the droplist. All items will display. Second, in order to enhance performance, the droplist only displays a set number of records. If the list of possible values is longer than the displayed list, select the name at the bottom of the list as the value. When you next click the droplist, the rest of the items display.

 

Chart Specific Actions

The following actions are accessed by either right-clicking or left-clicking anywhere within the chart area.

NOTE: Changes made to the chart do NOT persist. In other words, when you leave the dashboard and return to it, all default chart settings are re-applied.

Right-Click Actions

Type: This option allows you to change the type of chart displayed. Options are Line Types, Bar Types, Column Types and Pie and Other Types. Once you click on one of the Types, you are given additional options. For example, if you select Line Types, additional options are Line, Spline, Area and Spline Area. Click on the option you want and the type of chart changes instantly.

You can also select to use 3D Style or not by clicking the Use 3D Style checkbox. 3D style gives the chart depth. Otherwise, the chart displays in flat 2D.

Theme: This option allows you to select from several pre-set themes. A theme changes the overall look of the chart (mainly by changing the colors on the chart).

One option is Linear Range. This allows you to select a starting and ending color. The chart then displays lines, bars and columns using a range of colors between the starting and ending color.

Legend Location: This option allows you to determine where you want the chart's legend located. Options are None (no legend), Right and Bottom. NOTE: This option is not available if the chart does not have a legend by default (e.g. Total Recruited by Branch).

Sort By: This option allows you to select how items in the chart are sorted. Select Report Order to follow the order of information on the sub-report (in either ascending or descending order). Select Data Labels to sort the chart by the data labels (in either ascending or descending order).

Left-Click Actions

: Use this icon to refresh the data on the chart. The newly displayed chart reflects any changes since the last time the chart was refreshed (new activities, User changes, etc.). NOTE: This only impacts the specific chart. To refresh the entire dashboard select the icon in the upper-left corner of the dashboard.

: Use the droplist next to this icon to export the information in the chart to a variety of formats.

: Excel

: PDF (Portable Document Format)

: RTF (Rich Text Format)

: CSV (Comma Separated Values)

NOTE: Once you select one of the above options, you will have the option to open or save the newly formatted table. In the Dashboard itself, click Close on the small dialog that displays. You will also notice that a new tab has been added to the Dashboard. You can close this tab.

Linked Report Actions

Clicking on the Data Visualization (e.g. Column, Bar) in the Total Recruited by Branch chart displays the Candidate Count by Branch linked report.

This report displays information about each employee recruited by the Staffing Service Branch. Information includes Employee Name, Recruiter, Candidate Status, Availability Status, Source, UDF information and more.

You can click on the link in the Employee Name column to jump to the Employee record. NOTE: Jumping to a record exits the Reporting & Analytics page and all unsaved changes on open tabs are lost. Therefore, Bond recommends first saving all unsaved data and THEN jumping to a record.

The linked report also has the following option:
